Common Questions

1. How does a 5‑carat cushion cut compare to a 5‑carat round in terms of visual impact?

The cushion’s larger table creates a broader face that catches eye‑level light, often appearing bigger than a round of the same weight; the round, however, distributes fire more evenly across its surface.

2. What budget should I allocate for a five‑carat cushion cut set in platinum?

Investors typically assign 1.5‑to‑2 times the stone’s raw price for a setting that balances security and aesthetic harmony, ensuring the piece retains resale strength.

3. How can I maintain brilliance and structural integrity over decades?

Schedule professional cleaning twice yearly, store the ring in a soft pouch when not worn, and avoid exposing the stone to harsh chemicals; these habits preserve fire and protect the metal.
