The cushion cut is an antique and romance-inspiring diamond cut that's been around for more than a hundred years. Until the early 20th century, the cushion cut was the go-to diamond style. It fell out of favor, but has regained popularity recently thanks to its classic look.
Most of the time, cushion diamond cuts are sold in square shape with a length to width ratio of 1.00, but these luminous diamonds also come in rectangular shapes. If you are looking for a popular cut, buy a cushion diamond that is slightly rectangular in shape. The length to width ratio of that choice should be 1.10-1.21. The chart below should be a nice a guide to help you to evaluate the length to width aspect of cushion cut diamonds.
