By Jan Rooss

Get the best bang for your buck by purchasing a great "vintage style" cushion cut engagement ring at the right place. This article will touch on a few things to consider when buying cushion cut engagement rings. Read further.

Simply stated, a cushion cut diamond is one that strongly resembles a seat cushion, hence the name. The diamond is generally square or rectangular and appears 'puffy.' It's quite the diamond, as it takes traits from oval, princess, and emerald diamonds to make it's unique shape.

Cushion cut diamonds have around 60 facets, which is less than many modern day engagement rings. This does take a bit of the luster and sparkle out of the diamond that would otherwise be present in a round diamond, but the good news is that this is generally reflected in a lower price. If you don't mind compromising a little bit of quality for price, then cushion cut engagement rings are definitely for you.

How do you find the best deal on cushion cut engagement rings?

Nowadays cushion cut diamonds are rare and you will be hard pushed to find good quality diamond at a good price at your local jewelry store. With the internet boom you now have a much better shot at finding a good quality cushion cut diamond at a great price by searching for reputable online dealers. I know buying a diamond online is a scary thought at first but later on in this article I will reveal a great reputable place where you can find a great diamond and have peace of mind.

I highly recommend you take a look at designing your own cushion cut engagement ring from a reputable online jeweler. This option is gaining massive popularity and it works like this. You choose your perfect diamond from a huge selection of diamonds. Make sure you study the 4 C's of diamonds first. After you found a great diamond at a great price you then proceed to searching for the perfect setting. Here you can choose between white gold, platinum, yellow gold etc. Also make sure you get a good price on it. The company will then set the stone in your setting and you have yourself a custom designed engagement ring.

If you scroll a little further down this article you will see a link to my website where I reveal exactly how and where I designed a great engagement ring that is GIA certified and I paid $1500 less for it than I would have if I went to my local jeweler.

I hope you found some value in this article. Just make sure you study diamonds a little bit before you make your decision and you will be miles ahead of the game. - 29959
