Beautiful jewellery and extremely helpful advice from start to finish. So happy to know my jewellery is stunning, original and ethically sourced. Can not recommend Ingle & Rhode more highly.

Jessica

Trust Pilot

Excellent service from the initial phone call, through to the collection of the ring which I'm pleased to say my fiancée loves! I'd highly recommend David and his highly skilled team and will be back here very soon to arrange the wedding bands.

Andrew

Trust Pilot

We needed a pair of wedding rings and were attracted to Ingle & Rhode by the fact that they used ethical metals. We were very pleased to find a team of thoroughly lovely people who provided excellent jewellery and wonderful, friendly service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them wholeheartedly.

Giancarlo

Trust Pilot

Excellent ethical jeweller. Purchased an engagement ring from Ingle & Rhode. Very impressive range, superb customer service and the best ethical guarantees (e.g. all Canadian diamonds) I came across. Girlfriend loved the ring.

Alex

Trust Pilot

I had my engagement ring made by Ingle & Rhode. I was very happy with it and the whole process was very painless. When I got the ring, it was exactly what we had discussed. When I told my (now) wife, that her ring was ethically sourced and produced it made her very happy. I highly recommend them.

Sam

Trust Pilot

Wonderful product, very helpful people. And love the ethical angle.

Mark Dalton

Patient, professional, trustworthy and providing an excellent quality. On top of it they are ethically sourcing all the materials from non conflict zones. Highly recommended.

Brian

Stellar service! They were fantastic in talking me through the process, accommodating my many changes to the bespoke design I had in mind for my fiancée's ring, sourcing a beautiful and ethically sourced ring. I highly recommend this company to anyone setting out in this fun but tricky journey of finding the right ring!

Why is ethical sourcing
so important?

Without proper ethical sourcing, you may unwittingly buy a blood diamond, helping finance criminal armies in war-torn areas. The only way to guarantee a diamond is ethical is to go beyond the flawed Kimberley Process and trace it to its source, which we do for all of our diamonds.

Ethical sourcing also means protecting the environment and human rights, which is why we use recycled or Fairtrade gold, as well as fairmined silver and recycled platinum.

How to choose a Cushion Cut diamond

Cushion cut diamonds make for elegant and distinctive engagement rings. However, there are quite a few variations of the cushion cut available on the market, which can make matters confusing for consumers. We've provided some guidance below to help you decide whether a cushion cut diamond is the right option for you, and you may also wish to read our general guidance on diamond grading.

cushion cut diamond plot

Combining the best of the old and the new

The modern cushion cut evolved from the old mine cut, which was the most popular shape for a diamond until the early twentieth century. Perhaps this is why today’s cushion cuts are evocative of a bygone era, and are a particularly popular choice for vintage-style engagement rings.

While modern cushion cut diamonds are shaped like old mine cuts, with a ‘soft’ square or pillow shape (giving rise to the name), their faceting is similar to the round brilliant cut pioneered by Marcel Tolkowsky during the first part of the twentieth century. As a result, they tend to sparkle more than the older stones.

Modern cushion cuts are are less forgiving of poor clarity

Modern cushion cut diamonds have much larger table facets than the old mine cuts, which means that they are less forgiving of poor clarity — a centrally located inclusion is likely to be visible. If you are considering a stone graded SI1 or lower, it is likely that it will not look flawless to the naked eye.

Square vs. rectangular cushions

Another factor to consider is your preferred length to width ratio. If the length is within 5% of the width, then the diamond is defined as a square cushion. Diamonds like this are always popular, as are rectangular cushions where the length is about 10% greater than the width. Once the length is 20% greater than the width, this is considered highly rectangular, which is generally less popular.

Cushion modified brilliant diamond certificate

Cushion vs. cushion modified

On a technical level, modern cushion cuts are divided into two groups - cushion brilliants, and cushion modified brilliants. The two are faceted the same on the top (known as the crown), but the modified variation has an extra row of facets on the underside (known as the pavilion). The different faceting patterns should be outlined on the diamond’s certificate.

Don't make your decision based only on a certificate

There are a couple of key factors that won’t become clear from the paperwork.

The first is the shaping of the diamond’s corners. Some cushion cuts have corners that are almost square or right-angled, while others are much more ‘soft’ or rounded. This is a matter of personal preference.

The second issue is whether the stone is a ‘chunky’ or a ‘crushed ice’ cushion. With a chunky cushion, if you look through the table from above you will see the facets line up neatly, often making an ‘X’ shape that meets in the middle of the stone. This is similar to the faceting that you would see in a round brilliant cut.

However, with a ‘crushed ice’ cushion, the facets will appear to be distributed randomly, hence its name - this is also sometimes referred to as ‘broken glass’, and resemble  the pattern you would typically see in a radiant cut.
