The Cushion Cut vs. the Princess Cut Diamond
The cushion cut and the princess cut diamond are often confused with one another because of their similar shape. The princess cut diamond is the second most popular diamond. It is actually second only to the round brilliant cut diamond. The princess cut diamond is most commonly square in shape but can also be rectangular as well. The face-up shape as well as the profile of this cut is very similar to a pyramid that has been inverted. Its four sides are also beveled.
The cushion cut diamond is actually an antique cut. It was commonly used in the 19th and 20th century. It is square in shape with round corners. This particular cut is not known for its brilliance like the other modern cuts. However, with the popularity of the vintage look right now this is a very popular diamond cut and is very romantic.
