Whether you’re drawn to a soft solitaire or a bold three-stone silhouette, our selection of cushion engagement rings celebrates the classic elegance of the cushion cut diamond with craftsmanship that stands apart.
The Sylvie Shell and Signature Design Motifs
A number of Sylvie cushion engagement rings feature our signature Sylvie Shell, a sculptural design detail where the sides of the band open and reconnect beneath the center stone, forming a subtle negative space that resembles our Shell Icon. This unique profile adds softness and dimensionality, allowing light to pass through and elevate the diamond’s presence. Beyond the Shell profile, many of our cushion engagement ring styles include other design details that recall our Shell Icon which represents light and femininity.
Wide Ranging Cushion Engagement Ring Styles
Our cushion engagement ring settings are crafted to celebrate the shape’s romantic curves, dimensional brilliance, and versatility. From clean bezels to dramatic halos, each style offers a unique way to highlight the beauty of a cushion cut center stone.

Characteristics That Define Sylvie Cushion Engagement Rings
At Sylvie, every cushion engagement ring is the culmination of thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship. We blend ergonomic comfort with aesthetic finesse, each band is shaped for daily wear while finely tuned prong and gallery details ensure enduring beauty.
Craftsmanship and Quality of Cushion Engagement Rings
Every Sylvie cushion engagement ring is designed with you in mind. Our master artisans consider every angle, accent, and contour of our settings to ensure that your chosen center stone will sit beautifully in its setting and feel comfortable and balanced on the hand. We believe a ring should feel just as beautiful as it looks, and our commitment to quality ensures that it will.
Ethically Sourced, Beautifully Matched
At Sylvie, we only use ethically sourced natural diamonds in our cushion engagement ring settings. Every stone is carefully selected and expertly matched for symmetry, sparkle, and harmony, ensuring that each ring radiates from every angle. Whether it’s a cushion solitaire with a hidden halo or a setting lined with accent diamonds, our sourcing practices and meticulous stone pairing reflect a standard of integrity that’s felt in every finished piece.
Metal Types and Color Options
The metal that frames a cushion cut diamond plays an essential role in shaping the ring’s overall character. A cushion engagement ring in platinum or white gold offers a cooler, high-contrast backdrop that enhances the brilliance of the center stone. Yellow gold introduces warmth and a traditional richness that complements the diamond’s vintage roots. Rose gold brings a romantic, tonal softness that echoes the gentle curves of the cushion silhouette. Each metal choice adds depth, contrast, or harmony, contributing to the visual identity of the ring as a whole.
Styling Cushion Engagement Rings for Today’s Bride
Cushion engagement rings are as versatile as they are beautiful, able to adapt to a wide range of personal aesthetics while maintaining their soft elegance and signature brilliance. Whether styled for everyday wear or curated for a formal bridal look, cushion shaped rings blend effortlessly with your fine jewelry wardrobe. From romantic settings to modern silhouettes, here’s how today’s brides are wearing and layering their cushion cut engagement rings.
Classic Elegance with a Contemporary Twist
For brides who appreciate timeless design with subtle modern flair, a cushion solitaire or halo setting in white gold or platinum offers a clean, luminous foundation. Pair your engagement ring with a sleek channel-set or pavé diamond band to maintain symmetry and sparkle. Complement the look with a diamond bracelet or delicate stud earrings, pieces that echo the cushion cut’s soft brilliance without overwhelming it.
Romantic and Vintage-Inspired Styling
Cushion cut engagement rings with scrollwork, milgrain, or split shank detailing are perfect for those drawn to unique detailing and layered textures. Style these rings with contoured or curved wedding bands that hug the center stone, creating a seamless, heirloom-like effect. Complete the look with rose gold accents, like a stack of slim eternity bands or a pendant necklace featuring a complementary gemstone like a sapphire or morganite.
Bold, Sculptural Statements
For the bride who leans into bold styling and expressive silhouettes, a cushion cut center paired with a wide band, two-tone metal, or geometric halo delivers presence and individuality. Choose a wide diamond band or mixed-metal ring stack to amplify dimension. Offset the softness of the cushion cut with linear diamond earrings or a chunky gold chain bracelet to create contrast while maintaining cohesion.

Tips for Selecting the Right Cushion Engagement Ring
Cushion engagement rings offer a beautiful mix of tradition and individuality, but choosing the right one comes down to how it fits your lifestyle, design preferences, and personal story. Here are a few tips to help guide your decision.
Selecting the Right Cushion Diamond Shape and Sparkle
Cushion cut diamonds vary in both shape and faceting style, two details that significantly influence the look and feel of your ring. Understanding these differences can help you choose a diamond that aligns with your personal aesthetic.
Shape Considerations:
- Square cushions offer symmetry and a more vintage-inspired look
- Elongated cushions create a slimming effect on the finger and appear larger face-up
- Try both shapes in person to see what flatters your hand best
Faceting Styles:
- Standard cushion brilliants have larger facets for a soft, romantic glow
- Modified cushion brilliants feature smaller facets that create a “crushed ice” sparkle effect
- Each offers a different type of brilliance, there’s no wrong choice, only what speaks to you
Consider Lifestyle When Choosing a Setting
Your day-to-day routine can influence which setting style offers the best comfort and protection.
Best Practices:
- Opt for bezel or low-profile halo settings if you work with your hands
- Solitaires offer easy maintenance and timeless appeal
- Consider platinum or 14k gold for added strength and durability
Think About Metal Tone and Finish
The metal you choose will shape the overall mood and tone of your ring.
Metal Tips:
- White gold and platinum enhance brilliance and contrast
- Yellow gold adds warmth and a classic richness
- Rose gold softens the look with a romantic blush tone
- All Sylvie cushion rings are available in 14k, 18k, and platinum

Carat and Cut Guidelines for Cushion Diamonds
Cushion diamonds often look larger face-up than rounds of the same weight. Aim for table percentages between 55–65% to balance fire and brilliance. Above all, prioritize an Excellent or Very Good cut grade, facet symmetry and depth will make your cushion sparkle far more than slight gains in color or clarity.
Durable Cushion Engagement Ring Settings
If you wear your ring daily, consider a secure bezel or protective prong setting to shield the cushion’s soft corners without diminishing its light performance.
