Cushion cuts offer a soft, feminine experience due to the rounded edges, but they deliver plenty of fire thanks to the defined facets. However, if you want larger facets and the maximum amount of sparkle, the modified brilliant cushion cut is the option; these diamonds are cut to maximize refraction and shine whereas antique cushion cuts are not.The primary difference between modified brilliant and antique cushion cuts is the faceting: while they both have “larger” faceting, antique cushion facets are the only cut with “chunky” facets. Additionally, antique cushions feature an open, visible culet at the bottom and a steeper crown where modern brilliant cushion cuts do not.
