The cushion cut diamonds was first developed in the 1830s.With its classic, romantic look, the diamond is a perfect choice for those who love vintage jewellery. The diamond has 58 facets and rounded corners, resembling a pillow. Compared to newer diamonds the cut is not as fiery or brilliant and is considered to be a softer version of the emerald cut diamond. The cut of the diamond attracts a lot of colour as it reflects light- we recommend a colour grade between D to G. We also recommend for clarity grade, nothing lower than an SI2. When selecting a square shaped cushion, look for a length-to-width ratio between 1 and 1.05. For those who prefer a rectangular shaped radiant, choose a length-to-width ratio of 1.15 or greater. 
The radiant cut diamond is a relatively new cut created in 1977. Like a cushion cut, the shape of the diamond can be both square and rectangular, and was specifically developed to add more sparkle and brilliance to the cushion cut diamond. A radiant cut diamond has more fire then a cushion cut diamond; however the diamonds have a similar shape with croped, rounded corners. A radiant cut emits a modern look, compared to a vintage look of a cushion cut diamond. The diamond has 70 facets and the cut attracts a lot of colour, we recommend a colour grade no lower than I and clarity grade no lower than SI2.
