Cushion Shaped Loose Diamonds
Cushion Shaped Loose Diamonds: "Cushion Cut Loose Diamonds - Additional Information:
Cushion cut loose diamonds have a square or squarish-rectangular cut with rounded corners and 58 brilliant-style facets that resemble a pillow shape, which is why they are name 'Cushion' Cut Diamonds.
When Cushion Cut Diamonds were first developed, diamonds were not cleaved into two pieces of rough, as they are today; they were ground down as a single stone and the resulting polished was lumpy and thick. Cushion Cuts have very thin girdles and bigger culets than today's full-cut diamonds. The smaller the culet, the better the stone. Older Cushion Cuts return light in blocky patterns; newly cut ones return light in needlelike patterns."
