Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a yellow gold cushion-cut engagement ring?

Yellow gold cushion cut engagement rings are a stunning option for those with a preference for sparkle and shine. There are several benefits to choosing a yellow gold band. The purest of all gold metals, yellow gold is not only the most hypoallergenic but also the easiest to maintain. Its malleability allows jewelry makers to easily manipulate its form, which allows for intricate setting designs such as milgrain. Another benefit of a yellow gold cushion cut engagement ring is its ability to complement various skin tones. Yellow gold bands can be an exceptional combination for three-stone settings, forming an exquisite cushion cut engagement ring that stands the test of time.

What makes a yellow gold cushion-cut engagement ring unique?

Yellow gold cushion cut engagement rings are a popular choice among ring shoppers due to their classic, eye-catching, and beautiful appearance. Yellow bands are classic in their own right, offering flexibility that allows jewelers to create intricate settings. When compared to white gold bands, yellow gold engagement rings boast a classic, vintage feel that complements a variety of skin tones. Yellow bands combine well with diamonds of a low color grade, giving an alluring warmth that dazzles the eye. Yellow gold bands can make even a low-color grade diamond appear quite white, making it a stunning option for cushion cut engagement rings.

What makes yellow gold appealing for an engagement ring?

Pure gold is yellow in its natural form, no additional alloys necessary. The purity of this metal’s chemical composition makes it hypoallergenic and reduces maintenance requirements. Yellow gold also tends to compliment those with warm skin tones and darker features such as hair and eye color.

What is a cushion cut diamond?

The cushion cut diamond is classified by its square or rectangular shape with soft, rounded edges, which takes on a pillow-like appearance. The faceting of a modified brilliant cushion cut diamond places emphasis on brilliance and sparkle, while effectively hiding diamond imperfections and diamond color.

Are there different types of cushion cuts?

Cushion cut diamonds have several cut styles that reveal a slightly different overall appearance from style to style: Cushion Brilliant, Cushion Modified, and Antique Cushion (Old Mine Cut).

How can I care for my yellow gold band?

Many ring shoppers choose yellow gold bands not only for their eye-catching appearance but also for their strength and durability. Regularly caring for a yellow gold band engagement ring can ensure it maintains its quality and lasts for decades to come. Cleaning and polishing a yellow gold band are two ways to preserve its quality over time. To clean your yellow gold band engagement ring, simply combine warm water with your choice of detergent-free soap and use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush your band. When combined with sporadic professional polishing, your yellow gold band engagement ring will almost certainly last a lifetime.

Cushion cut diamonds are as old as diamond-cutting itself, though current versions (with the exception of antique cushion diamonds) are a result of technological advancements and refinement of diamond-cutting techniques. The cushion cut diamond is classified by its square or rectangular shape with soft, rounded edges, which takes on a pillow-like appearance. The faceting of a modified brilliant cushion cut diamond places emphasis on brilliance and sparkle, while effectively hiding diamond imperfections and diamond color. Cushion cut diamonds have several cut styles that reveal a slightly different overall appearance from style to style: the brilliant cut, the antique cut or “old mine cut,” and the crushed ice cut. Cushions tend to fall within the length-to-width ratios of 1:1 (for a more square look) to about 1:1.2 (for a more rectangular/elongated look). We find the 1:1.1 ratio a popular range for elongated cushions.
