Common Questions
1. How does a cushion cut’s fire compare to a round brilliant?
The broader facets of a cushion cut release larger flashes of light, creating a dramatic sparkle that feels more “burst‑like” than the steady glitter of a round brilliant.
2. What price range should I expect for a 1 ct cushion cut solitaire?
Depending on clarity and color, a certified 1 ct cushion typically sits between $12,000 and $18,000, offering a sweet spot between visual impact and investment value.
3. Will a bezel setting protect the stone without dulling its brilliance?
A high‑quality bezel hugs the girdle closely, shielding against everyday hits while still allowing ample light to enter, so fire remains vivid throughout years of wear.
