1. The Old Mine Cut (1700s)

The entire cushion family tree begins with the Old Mine Cut from the 18th century. This cut was dominant for nearly 200 years!

It was a square-ish shape with softly rounded corners, cut by hand to maximize brilliance under candlelight.

Crucially, this early shape often had a naturally elongated or slightly irregular rectangular silhouette because the cutters followed the natural shape of the diamond crystal (called the rough), which came from the "old mines" of Brazil. So, the concept of a longer, pillowy shape is actually an original characteristic!

2. The Comeback: The Elongated Cushion

When did it get popular? While elongated cushions have always existed in limited numbers, they exploded into mainstream popularity in the 21st century (especially in the last decade or so).

Why the comeback? Buyers rediscovered how incredibly flattering the elongated shape is—it makes the finger look long and slender, and the stone looks much bigger than a square cushion of the same carat weight!

The Modern Blend: Today's elongated cushion cut diamond beautifully blends the antique charm of the Old Mine Cut's shape with the dazzling sparkle of modern brilliant faceting. It offers a unique look that has captivated celebrities and jewelry lovers alike!
