Cushion cut is the classic antique shape for sapphires. Soft rounded corners with broad facets that produce beautiful light return and color saturation. If you've seen famous sapphires in museums or royal collections, most are cushions. We source all our cushion sapphires from partner mines worldwide. Direct, no middlemen. Why choose cushion? The shape retains more rough material than round cuts, which means better value per carat. The broader facets also tend to show color more intensely than other shapes. Look for even color distribution and a stone that faces up bright. Cushion shapes range from square to slightly rectangular. Browse our current cushion sapphires below.
