What distinguishes the cushion cut in diamonds?
The most famous piece of jewellery with cushion cut diamonds is probably not an engagement ring, but a magnificent necklace with no less than 234 impressive diamonds, which Napoleon Bonaparte gave to his second wife, Marie-Louise of Austria, in 1811. The breath-taking necklace is on display in Washington at the US National Museum

One of the most famous engagement rings with this cut is the one of Kim Kardashian. The reality TV star attracted attention in 2013 with a 15 carat cushion cut engagement ring that was given to her by her future husband, Kanye West. The colour grade D and type IIa diamond in this lavish ring is estimated to be worth around $1.3 million.
What are the different types of engagement rings with a cushion cut diamond?
If you are looking for an even more striking ring that dazzle in splendour, you can add a halo of small diamonds around the central gemstone, or diamonds on the ring band itself. The result is a halo engagement ring that will impress not only your sweetheart, but also her friends.
Another great idea is adding a flanking diamond to the left and right of the centre stone. A ring with three stones is known as a trilogy engagement ring. The term goes back to the Greek "trilogia", literally translated as "three-word", and originally referred to a three-part literary act.

What other diamond cuts are similar to the cushion cut?
The pear cut is yet another option. A diamond cut in the shape of a water drop or a pear looks extravagant and fascinates with its bold appearance.
