The differences between Cushion cut diamonds vs Round cut diamonds are shape and facets. A Round is true to its name and is perfectly round when looking from the top down.

The best settings for Cushion cut diamonds to maximize their scintillation, sometimes known as “sparkle,” are the ones that best fit your personal style. A Solitaire setting that puts this timelessly romantic center stone on display is always a good choice. Selecting a Halo or Three Stone setting is also ideal for maximum brilliance.
