The cushion cut is an antique cut that most often resembles a cross between the Old Mine cut and a modern Oval Brilliant cut. Cushion Modified Brilliants are a variation on the original cushion brilliant shape. This type of cushion cut contains an extra row of facets just below the girdle, where the facets on the pavilion do not actually reach the girdle, resembling a flower shape. Cushion modified brilliants often have exceptional sparkle reminiscent of the “sparkling water” or “crushed ice” appearance of a well-cut radiant shape diamond. Furthermore, because there isn’t a large demand for this particular cut and cutters save more weight when cutting them from a rough diamond crystal, they are less expensive than traditional cushion brilliant cut diamonds. Below you will find a wide range of our loose Cushion Modified Brilliant Diamonds stock for your perusal.
