The History of Cushion Cut Engagement Ring
The modern cushion cut diamond is inspired by an antique diamond cut known as the old mine cut, which originated in Brazil in the 1700s. Brazil was home to the majority of the world’s diamond mines during this period. Brazilian stonecutters popularised the old mine cut because it maximised carat retention.
Brazil’s mines became known as the ‘old mines’ after diamonds were discovered in South Africa and mines opened there, inspiring the ‘old mine cut’ name. The modern cushion cut was based on the old mine cut and created with improved skills, tools and cutting technology.
