Elongated Cushion Diamonds Explained
What is an elongated cushion diamond?
An elongated cushion diamond is a rectangular variation of the traditional cushion cut, featuring softly rounded corners and a length greater than its width. It combines the romantic curves of a cushion with a more elongated silhouette, making it an appealing choice for someone who loves a softer alternative to an emerald or radiant cut.
How is an elongated cushion different from a square cushion?
The main difference is proportion. A square cushion has a nearly equal length and width, creating a balanced, symmetrical appearance. An elongated cushion has a greater length than width, resulting in a more slender silhouette. Both can feature a variety of faceting styles, from crushed ice to larger, more defined brilliant facets.
What is the ideal length-to-width ratio for an elongated cushion diamond?
Elongated cushions commonly range from approximately 1.15 to 1.40, although longer proportions are also available. A ratio around 1.15 to 1.20 creates a subtly elongated appearance, while ratios closer to 1.30 to 1.40 offer a noticeably slender silhouette. There is no single ideal ratio. The most beautiful proportion is the one that appeals to your eye.
Do elongated cushion diamonds have a bow tie?
Some elongated cushion diamonds can display a bow-tie effect, depending on their proportions and faceting. The bow tie appears as a darker area across the centre of the diamond. Its visibility varies, so evaluating the diamond in different lighting conditions is important.
What settings work best with elongated cushion diamonds?
Elongated cushions are particularly beautiful in solitaire, three-stone, cathedral, and bezel settings. A simple solitaire emphasizes the diamond’s proportions, while tapered side stones can enhance its elongated appearance. For something more romantic, delicate prongs and vintage-inspired details complement the cushion’s naturally soft corners.
