The cushion cut is also known as the pillow cut or the candlelight cut. As the name suggests, the cushion-cut lab-
grown diamond has a square to a rectangular shape with rounded corners which closely resembles a pillow. It
usually has 58 large facets which allow greater light dispersion, thereby adding to the fire and brilliance of the cut.
The cushion cut was first spotted in the 19th century, and it has come a long way since then. The modern-day
cushion cut may be described as a cross between the old mine cut and the modern oval shape.
In this cut, the lab-grownlooks chunkier and more radiant. The enlarged culet associated with this cut creates a
distinctive look. According to Lumera Diamonds, "Many buyers are attracted to the antique feel combined with
the modern performance offered by the cushion cut."
