The cushion cut diamond ring is found both in contemporary and antique designs and has therefore considerable popularity. If one is looking for a ring with antique settings, a good decision would be to go for the cushion cut diamond ring that reflects the vintage look very appropriately.

There are varying standards for cushion cut diamonds. There are different width to depth ratio and different sizes of tables. The open culet in the cushion cut provides the diamond with depth.

It is therefore advisable to go for as high quality of color and clarity as one can afford within the budget.

Round brilliant cut is the most common choice for engagement ring. But if one intends to depart from tradition to opt for something non-traditional but romantic, a cushion cut diamond ring must be the right answer. The choice also becomes justified if the cushion cut has the right symmetry and polish. The ring may be made with solitaire or with accent stones settings. While four is the minimum prong required for a cushion cut diamond ring, if the stones are larger, additional prongs are needed for secured settings of the diamonds. It is not ideal for a cushion cut diamond ring to be made with diamond of below 1 carat. In that case, Asscher cut diamonds would be a better choice. The Red Cross diamond, one of the best types of cushion cut makes really great engagement diamond rings.
