An elongated cushion cut is a variation of the traditional cushion cut diamond, distinguished by its rectangular shape with rounded corners. While a standard cushion cut has a square or near-square outline, the elongated cushion cut has a more oblong appearance.
This cut combines the classic beauty of the cushion form with the modern appeal of a more extended configuration, creating a unique look that enhances the stone's fire. The elongated cushion cut is especially popular in engagement rings and other fine jewelry, as it can make the diamond appear larger than its carat weight suggests.
A Fusion of Classic Elegance and Contemporary Flair
An elongated cushion cut diamond has a rectangular outline softened by round corners, setting it apart from the traditional cushion cut, which typically has a square shape. While both cuts share the signature soft, pillow-like edges and a faceting pattern that enhances a diamond's brilliance, the elongated version has a longer length-to-width ratio.
This cut's visual charm lies in its balance of classic and modern aesthetics, offering timeless luxury with a contemporary twist. The elongated cushion cut's uniqueness is further highlighted by its versatility in various jewelry settings.
The Dazzling Advantages of an Elongated Cushion Cut Diamond
If you are considering buying a ring or any other jewelry piece with elongated cushion cut diamonds, there are several things to consider. This type of cut has recently gained increased popularity due to its glamor. A master jeweler can walk you through the main advantages of this cut so you can decide if it is the right fit for you.
The Illusion of a Larger-Sized Diamond
One significant benefit of an elongated cushion cut diamond is the illusion of a larger size. The increased length-to-width ratio creates a visual effect that makes the diamond appear bigger than a traditional cushion cut of the same carat weight. This can be particularly desirable for those seeking a more substantial look without a proportional increase in cost.
Added Brilliance
The elongated design provides a larger surface area, which allows more facets to interact with light. These additional surface areas increase the diamond's ability to capture and reflect light, resulting in a more dynamic display.
The extended length-to-width ratio of the elongated cushion cut creates more opportunities for light to enter the stone and bounce around its interior, producing a lively play of flashes. This interaction with light accentuates the diamond's natural beauty and also gives it a mesmerizing sparkle.
