Cushion Solitaire Engagement Rings
A solitaire engagement ring keeps the cushion centre diamond as the main focus, highlighting its soft corners and balanced shape.
Cushion Hidden Halo Engagement Rings
Hidden halo engagement rings add subtle sparkle beneath the cushion centre stone while maintaining a clean appearance from above.
Cushion Pavé Engagement Rings
Pavé engagement rings pair a cushion centre diamond with small diamonds along the band for extra brilliance and a more detailed finish.
Cushion Cathedral Engagement Rings
Cathedral engagement rings use raised shoulders to frame the cushion centre stone and create a graceful, structured profile.
Why Choose a Cushion Diamond?
Cushion diamonds are known for their soft corners, romantic proportions and brilliant faceting. They offer a balance between the classic appeal of a round shape and the stronger outline of a square or rectangular diamond.
Cushion diamonds are also highly versatile and work well with solitaire, hidden halo, pavé, cathedral, trilogy and bezel settings.
Cushion Engagement Rings by Metal
- Yellow Gold Cushion Engagement Rings
- White Gold Cushion Engagement Rings
- Rose Gold Cushion Engagement Rings
- Platinum Cushion Engagement Rings
Yellow gold gives a cushion diamond a warm and classic look, while white gold and platinum create a bright, refined appearance. Rose gold provides a softer and more distinctive finish.
Depending on the design, Nura Lab rings may be available in 9K, 14K or 18K gold as well as platinum.
Cushion Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings
Lab grown cushion diamonds have the same crystal structure and fundamental physical properties as mined diamonds, with the main difference being their origin.
They are available in a wide range of carat weights, colours and clarity grades, giving you flexibility when choosing the size, quality and proportions that suit your preferences.
Many Nura Lab centre diamonds are available with independent grading reports, including IGI certification.
Square vs Elongated Cushion Diamonds
Cushion diamonds can range from near-square proportions to more elongated rectangular shapes.
A square cushion creates a balanced, compact appearance, while an elongated cushion offers greater length across the finger and a more contemporary look.
When creating a custom cushion engagement ring, Nura Lab can help you compare different proportions before selecting your centre diamond.
