Curved bands: They’re ideal for cradling the elongated cushion’s shape. Curved bands hug the contours of the center stone without gaps.
Eternity bands: Their continuous sparkle pairs beautifully with the glow of a cushion cut. Eternity bands enhance its brilliance without overpowering it.
Anniversary bands: They add meaningful symbolism. Anniversary bands often feature diamond accents that mirror the soft edges and fire of the cushion cut.

Craftsmanship Behind Our Elongated Cushion Engagement Rings

Crafting elongated cushion cut engagement rings requires more than symmetry: Too much length and the stone loses warmth. Too little and it appears indistinct. The depth-to-length ratio of each stone is the main focus of our craftsmen, because it allows the diamond to reflect light evenly across its surface. Prongs are placed to protect corners while keeping visual weight off the edges.The result is a lasting composition of line, light, and proportion.
