Choosing a Cushion Cut Diamonds

By David Levine


Cushion Cut Diamonds

Usually the quality and cost of a Cushion Cut Diamond is decided by what is known as the 4 C's. They could be difined as colour, lucidity, carat weight and cut. With regard to color, the closer a diamond is to being completely colorless, or transparent, the more valuable it is.

There are colored stones and these are way more often found in yellow, green, blue, brown and pink colors. The clarity of this gem is decided by the amount of light that passes through it. The most valued are the ones that permit the best amount of light to go through. A carat is a measure of the weight of a diamond and one carat equals 0.2g. The scale of this gem depends largely on its carat weight.

One of the most significant factors in figuring out the value of a diamond is the cut. This is very different from its shape. It must do with the symmetry, proportion and polish of the stone. There are numerous different types of cuts. Many of them are the round brilliant, the altered brilliant, the step, the rose, the Princess Cut and the Cushion Cut Diamonds. A cushion cut diamond is also occasionally called a pillow or a candlelight cut. It's an antique design which is a mix of The Old Mine and the modern oval.

A cushion cut diamond stone has rounded corners and a substantial number of angles. These diamonds usually have 58 sides. This giant number increases its brilliancy and clearness. They can be gotten in square and oblong shapes. Their shape is set by the length-to-width ratio. If you are looking out for a classic version of this, the right length-to-width ratio would be 1.10 to 1.20. This is the best if you are buying a colored diamond, as this shape distributes the colour really evenly.
