Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hidden Halo and Pave, E Color VVS2

Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hidden Halo and Pave

An elongated cushion cut lab grown diamond in a four claw head above a hidden halo, on a band set with pave. A standard cushion is close to square with softly rounded corners, which gives it the antique, pillow like look it is named for. An elongated cushion stretches that outline into a rectangle, and the difference in wear is significant. The longer proportion runs along the finger and slims it, the same effect an oval gives, while the rounded corners keep the soft vintage character that a hard cornered radiant or emerald cut does not have. It is the shape for someone who wants an elongating stone without a modern edge. E colour, VVS2 clarity throughout, free IGI certificate for the centre stone. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.

A cushion cut has larger facets than a round brilliant and can pick up warmth from the metal around it, so white gold keeps it reading coolest. Yellow and rose gold lean into the antique character of the shape, which is why warm metals are the traditional pairing for cushions. For daily wear 14K is harder than 18K and holds pave more securely.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cushion and an elongated cushion?
A standard cushion is roughly square with rounded corners. An elongated cushion is stretched into a rectangle while keeping those rounded corners. The elongated version runs along the finger and has a slimming effect that the square version does not.

Is a cushion cut as sparkly as a round?
Close, and different in character. A cushion has larger facets, so it produces broader, more visible flashes of light, often described as a crushed ice or chunky sparkle rather than the fine glitter of a round brilliant.

Why is it called a cushion cut?
Because the soft square outline with rounded corners looks like a pillow. It is one of the oldest diamond shapes still in use, developed long before the modern round brilliant existed, which is why it reads as antique.

What is a hidden halo?
A ring of small diamonds set around the base of the centre stone, facing outward instead of upward. From above you see only the cushion. From the side it shows as a bright collar under the stone.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. Same carbon structure, hardness and brilliance as a mined diamond. Only the origin differs.

Do I get a certificate?
Yes. A free IGI certificate for the centre stone comes with every order, listing colour, clarity, cut grade and carat weight.

How long does it take to make?
Production usually takes ten to fourteen working days, plus shipping time to your address.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives the same hardness, brilliance and fire as a mined stone at a fraction of the price, which is what makes a certified 4 or 5 carat elongated cushion achievable. It is created without mining, so there is no excavation and no doubt about origin. Every centre stone we set is independently certified.
