cushion cut

Rounded square diamond

A cushion cut is a gemstone shape with a square or rectangular outline and rounded corners, resembling a pillow or cushion.

The style combines a large open table with smaller facets around the edges, producing soft brilliance rather than sharp sparkle: She chose a cushion cut diamond for her engagement ring.

The cut dates to the 19th century and remains popular for diamonds and colored stones.
