Traditionally, the cushion cut started as the old mine cut. Over the past 100 years, with the help of technology, the cushion cut has evolved to become a brighter diamond. Now Passion8 has taken it to another level, by working with some of the best diamond cutters in the world, to bring you the ultimate Cushion Cut Diamond with the brightness, fire, scintillation, life and beauty of a round cut, but in the shape of a cushion.
Cushion cut diamonds are traditionally deeper in their cut and have wider and fewer facets than a round cut. Our Passion8 Cushion Cut has been cut and polished with a unique range of facets that match the round, thus showing the 8 hearts and 8 arrows. This means that the light is reflected and directed through the diamond and out the stone, with all the light being reflected upward and out the crown of the diamond we achieve extra sparkle (even when dirty).
Traditional cushion cut diamonds do not retain their colour well and often look darker or lower in colour when they get dirty. The Passion8 Cushion Cut not only holds its colour when dirty, it also appears whiter and brighter for eternity due to the perfect and unique special Passion8 cut.
