The cushion cut is probably the best choice for vintage engagement rings. It has been used for well over 100 years and so has an aura of classical beauty. This is exactly what you want in a vintage ring. The only real downside is that it is not cheap due to the features of the cushion cut itself.

As you probably already know the cushion cut is so named because it resembles a cushion or pillow. This creates beautiful look for the diamond, but means that it is very open. This in turn means that you need both a fairly large and fairly high quality stone for it to look good. And this is why rings like this don't come cheap.

This also means you have to consider a few things when buying actual antique vintage rings rather than vintage style rings. Today both diamond cutting and diamond polishing are continually being improved upon. This means lower grade gems today can look just as good as higher grade ones from decades ago. So when considering an antique cushion cut ring keep this in mind and choose the highest quality one you can afford.

If your potential fiancée has her heart set on a cushion cut diamond there are other ways to reduce the cost. For a true vintage look you should consider using silver instead of gold for the ring. Not only will this save you money but will create a more authentic look. Just be sure any setting you get is designed for cushion cut diamonds. An improper setting could result in the lose of her diamond.

Finally, when buying any diamond be sure you know what you are buying and try to get it independently verified. Always check the 4 Cs – carat, cut, clarity and color. Get it certified since then you can be sure you got what you paid for. Keep in mind that all our listings came from third parties so only choose a reputable seller.

Besides that feel free to have a look at all our vintage cushion cut engagement rings. We have them in all price ranges so chances are you can find one she'll love and you can afford.
