What is Moissanite?

Cushion Cut Moissanite Rings

by Aumsri Pradhan on Sep 28, 2026

Quick answer: Cushion cut moissanite has a soft square or rectangular shape with rounded corners and large facets that create bold flashes of light and fire. It suits vintage and romantic styles especially well. Choose a length-to-width ratio of about 1.00 to 1.05 for a square look or 1.10 to 1.20 for a slightly elongated look. Popular settings include halos, hidden halos, cathedral mounts and simple solitaires.

Cushion cuts combine old-world charm with modern sparkle. Here is how to choose a cushion moissanite ring.

Square vs Elongated Cushion

Ratio Shape Look
1.00 to 1.05 Square cushion Classic, balanced, vintage
1.10 to 1.20 Elongated cushion Slimming, modern, larger look

Why Cushion Moissanite Sparkles So Much

Cushion cuts have larger facets than round brilliants, which create broad flashes of light. Combined with moissanite's high dispersion, cushions show vivid, chunky fire, especially in sunlight.

Popular Cushion Ring Settings

  • Classic halo: adds size and a vintage frame.
  • Hidden halo: clean from the top, sparkling from the side.
  • Cathedral: raises the stone gracefully on arched shoulders.
  • Wide pave band: bold and luxurious.
  • Minimalist solitaire: lets the cushion shine alone.
