Perfect for Gifts or Engagements, They Look Classic and Elegant. A Cushion Cut Means Rounded Edges and a Soft Look.
A cushion cut moissanite pairs a square or rectangular outline with softened, rounded corners, part of what gives it that pillow-like silhouette people fall for. The cut dates back over a century in diamond cutting, originally called an "old mine cut," and it has stayed popular because of how it handles light. Large, open facets let brilliance move through the stone in broad flashes rather than tight pinpoints, so a cushion moissanite ring reads warmer and softer than a round brilliant, without losing any sparkle. Because moissanite is cut specifically to maximize its natural fire, a cushion cut moissanite often looks even livelier than a diamond cut to the same shape.
Moissanite sits just below diamond on the hardness scale at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so it holds up to daily wear: rings, dishes, gym bags, all of it. It also throws more fire and brilliance than a diamond of the same size, at a fraction of the price, which means the same budget stretches to a noticeably larger center stone.
For a cushion cut specifically, that combination matters. You get a stone with vintage character and modern durability, which is why cushion cut moissanite engagement rings have become one of our most requested styles at CaratBee. Every stone in our collection is also lab created, so choosing a cushion cut moissanite engagement ring means skipping the environmental and ethical questions that come with mined stones.
Our collection covers a range of settings, each suited to a different look and lifestyle.
A few factors shape how a cushion moissanite engagement ring ultimately looks and wears, and they're worth weighing together rather than picking one and building around it.
The setting does as much work as the stone itself when it comes to how a moissanite cushion engagement ring ultimately performs day to day.
The metal you choose changes both the tone of the stone and the overall feel of the ring.
Moissanite is measured by millimeter dimensions as much as by carat weight, since cushion cuts vary more in face-up size than round stones do based on their length-to-width ratio. Two cushion moissanite rings at the same carat weight can look noticeably different: a more elongated cushion will appear larger across the finger than a squarer one of identical weight. When you're comparing options, checking the millimeter measurements alongside the carat weight gives a far more accurate sense of actual size than carat weight alone.
Side by side, a cushion cut moissanite and a cushion cut diamond can be tough to tell apart to the naked eye, and moissanite is actually more brilliant under most lighting thanks to its higher refractive index. The real differences show up in price, origin, and durability. Moissanite costs a fraction of a diamond at the same size; every stone we carry is lab created rather than mined, and moissanite's hardness makes it just as suited to everyday wear. For most people shopping on a budget without wanting to compromise on size or sparkle, that combination makes the choice fairly straightforward.
A cushion cut wears well stacked with a plain or slightly curved band, letting the center stone's softness stand on its own without competition. For anyone who prefers more detail, pairing it with a pavé or milgrain band adds texture without pulling focus from the cushion's shape. Stacking a wedding band alongside it later works particularly well with solitaire settings, since there's more open space along the finger to work with.
Every setting in this collection can be customized, including metal type, carat weight, band style, and finish. If you have a specific vision for your moissanite cushion cut engagement ring, our team can build it from the ground up, whether that means adjusting an existing design or starting from a sketch.
