Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a cushion engagement ring?

Cushion diamonds are the go-to shape for vintage and contemporary brides alike, featuring a pillow-shaped outline with rounded corners — soft, romantic, and timeless. Cushions come in two main cut styles: 'antique' (chunky facets, more fire, romantic look) and 'brilliant' (smaller facets, more sparkle, modern look). The choice is aesthetic — neither is better than the other.

What settings work best for cushion diamonds?

Cushions are the most versatile shape for vintage-inspired settings — milgrain, filigree, and halo designs all enhance their romantic silhouette.

What carat size is most popular for cushion diamonds?

The most popular sizes are 1.5 carat, 2 carat, and 2.5 carat. Cushions face up slightly smaller than ovals but larger than rounds. Popular ratios: 1:1 (perfect square cushion) and 1.15–1.25:1 (elongated cushion).

Lab-grown or natural diamonds?

Both. RockHer offers GIA-graded natural cushion diamonds and IGI-graded lab-grown cushion diamonds. Lab-grown stones cost 60–80% less than natural at the same specs and are physically identical. Natural diamonds retain stronger long-term value.

How do I choose the right diamond?

Cushions come in two main cut styles: 'antique' (chunky facets, more fire, romantic look) and 'brilliant' (smaller facets, more sparkle, modern look). The choice is aesthetic — neither is better than the other. Cushions show more color than rounds, so at least H color is recommended. For step-cut clarity of facets, go VS1 or better.

Can I customize the setting?

Yes. Metal (14K or 18K white, yellow, or rose gold, or platinum), pavé density, basket height, band width, prong count, and engraving are all customizable. Every RockHer ring is made to order around the specific diamond you choose.
