Elongated Cushion Engagement Rings FAQ'S
What is an elongated cushion engagement ring?
An elongated cushion engagement ring features a cushion-cut diamond or moissanite with an extended rectangular silhouette, distinguished by softly curved sides and rounded corners. It blends the vintage romance and fire of a classic cushion with the modern, finger-flattering elongation of an oval cut.
What is the difference between a square cushion and an elongated cushion?
The primary difference is the length-to-width ratio. A standard or square cushion sits between 1.00 and 1.15, offering a compact, classical look. An elongated cushion has a ratio of 1.20 and above (typically 1.25 to 1.45), creating a lengthened rectangular outline that makes the finger appear longer and more slender while providing a larger face-up surface area for the same carat weight.
What is the best length-to-width ratio for an elongated cushion?
The most sought-after ratio sits between 1.30 and 1.40, which delivers the ideal balance between elongation and classic cushion softness. A ratio between 1.20 and 1.25 reads as a softly rounded rectangular cushion, while ratios above 1.45 begin to approach the slim profile of an emerald cut, but with brilliant-cut scintillation. During consultation, our designer helps you select the ratio that best flatters your hand shape.
Which setting styles look best with an elongated cushion?
The elongated cushion is remarkably versatile:
- 4-Prong Solitaire: The most popular choice, offering clean minimalist lines with maximum light entry to celebrate the stone's outline.
- Hidden Halo: Adds a subtle ribbon of micro-pavé brilliance beneath the basket, highlighting the elongated curve without competing with the stone from above.
- Modern Bezel Setting: Encloses the rounded corners in a smooth, continuous rim of solid gold or platinum 950 for a sleek, completely snag-free silhouette.
What is the difference between "Crushed Ice" and "Chunky Facet" (Brilliant) cushion cuts?
- Crushed Ice: Cut with smaller, multi-directional facets that resemble glittering crushed crystals, producing continuous sparkle and intense dispersion.
- Chunky / Brilliant Cut: Features larger, well-defined triangular and kite-shaped facets that produce broad, bold flashes of white light and distinct structural contrast.Our master gemmologist presents both faceting patterns under daylight conditions during your consultation so you can choose the light performance you prefer.
What is an Antique Cushion or Old Mine Cut and how does it differ from a modern elongated cushion?
An Old Mine Cut or Antique Cushion is an heirloom-inspired faceting style characterised by a smaller table, a higher crown, steep pavilion angles, and a distinctive open culet at the base of the stone. Unlike modern cushions designed for rapid "crushed ice" scintillation, an antique elongated cushion produces broad, dramatic flashes of white light and vibrant pastel fire, offering romantic vintage charm combined with clean, modern elongation.
Can I custom order an Old Mine Cut or antique cushion lab diamond with VYOR?
Yes. Antique cuts, particularly elongated Old Mine Cuts and European cuts, are one of the most requested bespoke styles at VYOR. Because antique cuts require specialised facet symmetry to avoid dark extinction spots, our master gemmologist hand-curates individual roughs and precision-cut lab diamonds to ensure optimal optical performance. Each piece is set in your choice of a minimal 4-prong claw, delicate hidden halo, or vintage-inspired bezel mount in solid 18k gold or platinum 950.
Do elongated cushion diamonds have a bow-tie effect?
Because of their elongated brilliant faceting, all lengthened fancy cuts exhibit some degree of light leakage across the centre. However, the pillow-soft curved corners of an elongated cushion disperse light more evenly than an oval or pear, resulting in a much softer, less visible bow-tie. Our master gemmologist evaluates optical performance and light return across every stone to ensure minimal extinction.
Can I order an elongated cushion engagement ring in moissanite?
Yes. We custom craft elongated cushion rings set with premium colourless (D colour, VVS1 clarity) moissanite, finished in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold, or platinum 950. Moissanite offers a 9.25 Mohs hardness rating and exceptional fire, making it an excellent, ethical alternative to lab-grown diamonds.
Can I design an elongated cushion ring online if I live interstate?
Yes. You can select your setting and certified stone directly on our website, or schedule a 30-minute virtual consultation with our founders. Once your 3D CAD design is approved, your ring is handcrafted in Australia and dispatched via complimentary, fully insured express courier with signature on delivery anywhere across Australia.
The elongated cushion is one of the fastest-growing engagement ring silhouettes worldwide, blending vintage romantic softness with a modern, finger-flattering rectangular outline. At VYOR, each elongated cushion engagement ring is custom-designed in Perth, set with a GIA or IGI certified lab-grown diamond or D VVS1 moissanite, and master-crafted in Western Australia to last for generations.

Curated by Our Master Gemmologist, Styled by Our Designer
Every VYOR consultation is guided personally by our founders. Because elongated cushions exhibit unique optical variations, our master gemmologist, Joseph, individually reviews every candidate stone under daylight conditions. He verifies symmetry across all four corners, evaluates bow-tie suppression, checks depth percentages, and confirms your preferred faceting pattern, whether modern crushed ice, brilliant chunky facet, or antique Old Mine Cut.
Our designer, Nikolett, balances structural integrity with finger proportions. She helps you select the length-to-width ratio best suited to your hand, configures protective claw or bezel orientations, and ensures gallery bridges provide complete clearance so your wedding band stacks perfectly flush.

How to Choose an Elongated Cushion: The Gemmologist's Guide
Because major laboratories do not issue cut grades for fancy shapes, certificate data alone is never enough. Here are the five critical elements our gemmologist evaluates for every elongated cushion:
1. Length-to-Width Ratio (1.25 to 1.50)
The classic elongated cushion range sits between 1.25 and 1.50. A ratio of 1.30 to 1.40 represents the sweet spot, providing noticeable rectangular elongation while maintaining soft, pillowy contours.
2. Faceting Pattern: Crushed Ice, Brilliant & Old Mine Cut
Cushions offer distinct light performance styles:
- Crushed Ice: Dense, multi-directional reflections delivering intense, shimmering scintillation.
- Chunky / Brilliant Cut: Broad, geometric facets producing crisp flashes of white light and high contrast.
- Antique Old Mine Cut: Vintage-inspired faceting featuring a smaller table, high crown, and open culet for romantic pastel fire.
3. Optical Bow-Tie Performance
While elongated fancy shapes can display a central shadow, well-cut elongated cushions soften light leakage through their curved perimeter. We review every shortlisted stone under natural light to reject diamonds with dark, disruptive bow-ties.
4. Depth Percentage (60% to 68%)
Cushions are often cut too deep, hiding carat weight beneath the setting. We prioritize stones with balanced depths between 60% and 68%, ensuring maximum face-up spread and visual carat size for your investment.
5. Colour & Clarity Standards (D-F VS1+)
While cushion corners disguise body colour better than pointed shapes, we hold our brand floor strictly to D, E, F, and G colour grades, paired with eye-clean VS1+ clarity for pure, icy brilliance across all precious metals.
