The cushion does something to color that no other cut quite manages: it deepens it. The shape's proportions — broad facets over a generous pavilion — hold light inside the stone longer, saturating the hue until a fine sapphire reads velvet and a ruby reads lit from within. This is why the great historical colored stones, the ones in royal collections and auction catalogs, are so often cushions: the cut was the colored gem world's standard for centuries precisely because it flattered what these stones do best. A cushion sapphire is not a compromise between old and new; it is the reference presentation, still working.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cushion Gemstone Engagement Rings
It is a colored gemstone — most often a sapphire, ruby, or emerald — cut to the pillow-soft cushion shape and set as the center stone. The cushion is the colored stone world's great historical cut, prized for centuries because its proportions deepen and saturate a gem's hue.
Visibly — the cushion's broad facets and generous depth hold light within the stone longer than shallower brilliant cuts, intensifying saturation until fine sapphires read velvet-rich. It is the reason so many celebrated historical colored stones are cushions: the cut was chosen by generations of jewelers specifically for what it does to hue.
Sapphires above all — the cut's saturating effect rewards their range of blues, teals, and pinks, and their 9 Mohs hardness pairs with the cushion's chip-resistant rounded corners for effortless daily wear. Rubies glow equally well. Emeralds appear in cushions too, their softer nature simply preferring protective settings and gentler habits.
Luvari offers cushion gemstone rings in 10K, 14k and 18k yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, as well as platinum, across every setting style we make, with center stones led by sapphires in a range of colors alongside emeralds, rubies, and other fine gemstones. Details can be tailored through the semi-custom process.
Either, with confidence — a diamond halo completes the antique-royal reference the cushion sapphire practically invented, while a bezel or clean solitaire recasts the same stone as contemporary, its deepened color doing the talking. The cushion's saturating effect survives every setting; the choice is purely which century the ring answers to.
