About Cushion Cut Ratio

Cushion-cut diamonds are renowned for their soft, rounded corners and unique fire. The length-to-width ratios of 1.10, 1.20, and 1.30 represent a range from near-square to more elongated rectangular shapes. Since fancy-cut diamonds like cushion-cut do not have official cut grades, selection should be based on personal preference and the diamond's overall aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional diamond cuts, there is no standardised grading for cushion-cut diamonds. When choosing, it's essential to consider individual tastes and the overall visual harmony of the diamond. Below is a reference chart for cushion-cut diamond cut grades to help you select the most suitable cushion-cut diamond.

About Cushion Cut Diamond Colour

The colour grading of diamonds ranges from D (completely colourless, the highest grade) to Z (light yellow). Diamonds graded D to F are considered colourless, while those graded G to J are nearly colourless, with the colour becoming increasingly noticeable as you move down the scale. Generally, the closer a diamond is to being colourless, the more valuable it is, though certain colour gra

des, like light yellow, can have their own unique appeal.

Cushion Cut Diamond Clarity

Clarity refers to a diamond's degree of internal and surface imperfections (known as inclusions and blemishes). Clarity grades range from Flawless (FL/IF) to Included (I1-I3). Diamonds with higher clarity grades have fewer imperfections, making them rarer and more expensive, while diamonds with lower clarity grades have more noticeable flaws, but can still display beautiful brilliance in certain cases.

FAQ

About Cushion Cut Natural Diamonds

Cushion-cut diamonds, with their unique cut design, exhibit enchanting fire. While round diamonds are often considered superior in brilliance and fire due to their symmetrical cut, cushion-cut diamonds' large facets and rounded corners allow them to capture and reflect light in a soft and deep manner. This special play of light gives cushion-cut diamonds a unique beauty and vintage appeal, making them a preferred choice for specific designs, especially for those who seek a unique style and a touch of vintage charm.

How does the fire performance of cushion-cut diamonds compare to round diamonds?

Cushion-cut diamonds are known for their rounded corners and large facets. This unique design allows them to display a soft and deep brilliance under light, offering a vintage and elegant charm compared to other diamond shapes. The design not only enhances the diamond's brightness but also increases its fire, making cushion-cut diamonds a popular choice for engagement rings and other high-end jewellery. Unlike round, princess, or oval diamonds, cushion-cut diamonds are seen as more personalised and distinctive due to their unique appearance and luster.

What are the characteristics of cushion-cut diamonds, and how do they differ from other diamond shapes?

Focus on Cut Quality

 

When budget is a concern, prioritise the cut quality of the diamond. The cut significantly affects the diamond's brilliance and sparkle. A well-cut diamond will appear more luminous even if the other Cs (Colour, Clarity, Carat) are slightly lower.

 

Choose SI Clarity

 

Opt for diamonds in the SI (Slightly Included) clarity range. These diamonds often have inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye but come at a more attractive price point compared to higher clarity grades.

 

Consider Near-Colourless Grades

 

For colour, select diamonds in the G to J range. These grades are near-colourless and appear white to the untrained eye in normal viewing conditions, offering excellent value without compromising on visual appeal.

 

Opt for Lower Carat Weight

 

Consider choosing slightly lower carat weights. Diamonds just below popular weights (like 0.90 carat instead of 1.00 carat) can be significantly cheaper while still looking substantial.

 

Consider Lab-Grown Diamonds

Another smart choice for budget-conscious buyers is lab-grown diamonds. These diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds but are typically more affordable due to the controlled manufacturing process. This allows you to get a higher quality diamond (better cut, colour, and clarity) for the same budget, providing a luxurious feel without the high cost associated with natural diamonds.

How to Choose High-Quality Diamonds on a Budget?

Natural diamond clarity grades are classified based on the size, nature, position, and visibility of inclusions and surface characteristics. The grading scale ranges from FL (Flawless) to I3 (Included). When choosing a clarity grade, consider personal budget and aesthetic preferences. VS (Very Slightly Included) or SI (Slightly Included) grades often provide the best value, as the inclusions are not visible to the naked eye and the prices are more affordable. If your budget allows, VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) grades offer a nearly flawless appearance but come at a higher cost.

How are natural diamond clarity grades classified, and which clarity should I choose?

The colour grade of a diamond is crucial when purchasing a natural loose diamond, as it directly impacts the diamond's appearance and value. Colour grades range from completely colourless (grade D) to light yellow or brown (grade Z). Colourless diamonds, particularly those graded D to F, are highly prized for their purity and typically command higher prices. When choosing a colour grade, consider personal preference and budget, and observe the diamond's actual colour performance under natural light. For many buyers, diamonds graded G to J offer excellent value, as the colour differences are often imperceptible to the naked eye compared to higher-grade diamonds.

How important is the colour grade of a diamond when purchasing a natural loose diamond?

The 4Cs of natural diamonds stand for Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat Weight, which are the international standards for evaluating diamond quality. The cut determines the optical beauty of the diamond, with a better cut enhancing its brightness. Clarity assesses the number of inclusions, with higher clarity meaning a clearer diamond. The closer the colour grade is to colourless, the rarer the diamond. Carat weight indicates the size of the diamond. These factors collectively influence the diamond's value, with higher quality usually leading to higher prices. Understanding the 4Cs helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions.

What does 4C mean for natural diamonds, and how do they affect a diamond's value?
