How to Choose an Elongated Cushion Cut Engagement Ring

Choosing an engagement ring is one of the most crucial things to do when preparing for your proposal. The engagement ring is a beautiful token of commitment and togetherness promised to one another. Nothing can represent timeless love better than a diamond!



How Does An Elongated Cushion Cut Engagement Ring Stand Out From Other Rings?

Elongated cushion cut rings present a fusion of timeless elegance and modern allure. These exquisite diamonds boast a captivating blend of rounded corners and elongated facets, embodying a unique vintage charm with a contemporary touch. Their historical significance dates back to an era of classic sophistication, evolving to become a sought-after choice for engagement rings today.

What Gives an Elongated Cushion Cut Ring its Brilliance?

The artistry of an elongated cushion cut ring lies in its core elements which are the facets, table, crown, and pavilion. These facets interact to produce a mesmerizing play of light, enhancing the stone's brilliance. The elongated cushion cut stands out for its exceptional brilliance and fire, casting a dazzling array of reflections. These rings are one of a kind and this air of exclusivity in their cut speaks to their exquisite craftsmanship.

The Ideal Carat Size and Metal Type for Your Elongated Cushion Cut Ring

Choosing the perfect carat size involves a delicate balance between your finger shape, personal style, and budget. You will find the ideal fit will complement your style by achieving symmetry and proportion in relation to the ring's overall dimensions. When it comes to metal, the most popular choices are platinum, gold, and rose gold, as each accentuates the beauty of an elongated cushion cut.

Finding the Ideal Elongated Cushion Cut Diamond

The CUT in Elongated Cushion Cut Diamonds

The cut significantly influences a diamond's beauty and light performance. Ideal cut proportions and certifications determine the diamond's overall quality.

CLARITY of Elongated Cushion Cut Diamonds

Clarity evaluation involves scrutinizing inclusions and blemishes. Balance clarity with budget considerations to select the right grade for the desired sparkle.

CARAT Weight - Finding the Ideal Size for Your Diamond

The bigger the better doesn't necessarily apply to carat weight. The ideal carat weight will depend on your personal preferences and budget considerations. What you are looking for here is to achieve a good balance between symmetry and proportion, ensuring the diamond complements the ring seamlessly.

How to Take Care of an Elongated Cushion Cut Engagement Ring

Possessing an elongated cushion cut ring is a matter of gratification and responsibility. You can pass on these rings as family heirlooms, requiring you to take good care to maintain their luster and longevity.

Ring Insurance

Protect your precious investment with ring insurance, assessing coverage options, and maintaining proper documentation through appraisals to safeguard your valuable asset.

Maintenance and Care

Keep your ring sparkling by implementing a daily care routine, periodic professional cleaning, and considering special precautions like avoiding heat and chemicals to maintain the ring's sparkle and longevity.

Resizing and Upgrading

Adjust your ring for the future by understanding resizing options and limitations, allowing for adjustments over time.

The key to choosing the perfect elongated cushion cut ring is to identify the unique characteristics of elongated cushion cut rings, evaluate the 4 Cs, and select an ideal setting while ensuring proper care for your cherished ring.

Engagement Ring Selection - Your Special Day!

Your partner popped the question, "Will you marry me?" and you said, "Yes!" You then decided to come to Gesner Estate Jewelry to select your Engagement Ring. Your fiance came with you to get your point of view of the Diamond Engagement Ring you would want to wear for a lifetime. That was a good decision. You could pick the exact Diamond Ring you want or you could have your salesperson help you narrow it down to three Rings you like, giving your fiance a choice of the Engagement Ring you would definitely love to wear, if your partner wants to select the ring to surprise you at a later date.


Our store has a wide array of Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands to peruse, well over 530 rings! You think, how will I pick three rings, much less one? There are so many rings to choose from. My name is Valerie and although I am not a family member, I have been with Gesner's for 22 years and I have a method to help you see every ring in the store and in the windows. You won't miss a thing!

We start on Pad 1 and you have the option to try on every ring on that pad. If you try on every ring, that is not a problem. I have a lot of patience and want to give you all the pertinent information about each ring you choose, as one of your options. You may want to know about the Diamond Weight, Color and Clarity, as well as the price. You may want to just select a ring that strikes your fancy or you may be looking for a specific time period for your Ring, like Edwardian c.1901-1915 or Art Deco c.1918 - 1940. Any question you have will gladly be answered. You continue on through ten cases and the windows, last of all. Every time you say, "Yes, this is a possibility", the ring is turned on its side for consideration after looking at every ring.

After you have made your selections, I start giving you a choice of two rings from your selected Diamond Engagement Rings. Go with your first reaction. Do you like the first one or the second one? We go through this process until you have narrowed your selection to three rings or the one ring you must have. The process usually takes about 45 minutes. Take your time. It's a big decision!

I want this experience to be one you will always remember. It's a special day!

Come see us! I will be happy to help in your selection or one of the Gesner Family members and we will make this day a day to be remembered!

Art Deco Wedding Bands – A Guide to Popular Art Deco Wedding Bands

 What Is an Art Deco Wedding Band?

An Art Deco Wedding Band is a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry perfect for any bride who wants a vintage look. Vintage Art Deco wedding bands were all the rage in the 1920’s and 1930’s and they are making a comeback in a big way. These rings are characterized by their angular and symmetrical design and their use of contrasting color gemstones. If you are looking for a wedding band or an engagement ring with character, an Art Deco ring is the way to go! These rings are show-stopping pieces of jewelry with vintage charm.

 Why are Art Deco Wedding Bands popular?

These wedding bands have been rising in popularity in recent years thanks to their unique design and timeless style. Characterized by strong geometric lines and bold shapes, Vintage Art Deco wedding bands make a statement without being overly flashy. A few of the most popular stones for Art Deco rings, in addition to diamonds, are emeralds, rubies and sapphires, lending a touch of elegance and sophistication to the band. The metal of choice is Platinum which gives the band an incredible shine that enhances the gemstone's sparkle.

The way to make an impressive statement is always an Art Deco ring whether it is an Art Deco Gold wedding band, Art Deco Platinum wedding band or an Art Deco Diamond wedding band.

What are the main characteristics of the Art Deco style?

Art Deco is a visual art movement that celebrates modernity through bold, geometric forms and simplified designs. Whether engraved on gold or platinum settings or set in colorful gemstones, Art Deco wedding bands are a stunning representation of the cutting-edge art of their time.

When purchasing an Art Deco wedding band, keep in mind to check for quality and authenticity and buy a piece that is an accurate representation of that era.

Quality is most important.

As with any other piece of Vintage jewelry, not all Art Deco rings were created equal. Some were made of more refined materials and showcased more sophisticated craftsmanship than others. So, if you are willing to invest in an Art Deco wedding band, be sure of the quality of gemstones and metals used and that the craftsmanship is worth the price.

Stay true to the Art Deco era.

If you want to buy a piece that is from the Art Deco time period, you must first understand the difference between an Art Deco wedding band and an Art Deco-style wedding band. The Art Deco style wedding band is not Vintage jewelry but features two or more design elements from the Art Deco era and is a wonderful way to incorporate vintage aesthetics into your modern jewelry.

How to Identify Art Deco Jewelry?

The striking beauty of Art Deco jewelry is an endowment of superior craftsmanship and, more importantly, the elements that make it what it is.

White Metals: During the Art Deco era, cool-toned metals were the most popular choice for creating jewelry and decorative pieces. White gold Art Deco wedding bands and Art Deco Platinum wedding bands were the favorites as these pieces exude a sense of modern sophistication and often reflect the sleek, streamlined aesthetic of this era. Today, you can find high-quality reproductions made from sterling silver, silver-plated base metal, nickel silver, and other white base metals, lending further variety to the selection of white metal wedding bands.

Repeated Geometric Motifs: Geometric designs have long been one of the defining features of the Art Deco aesthetic. These bold, eye-catching designs often feature straight lines and sharp angles but sometimes include soft curves and intricate details. Symmetry is another key element in Art Deco designs. Symmetry in Art Deco jewelry pieces offers a balanced feel and visual cohesiveness.

Art Deco Wedding bands to Impress Your Special One

 Art Deco Antique Wedding Ring

The Art Deco era was a time of unrivaled creativity and elegance, and this Art Deco Diamond Antique Engagement, Wedding, or Fashion Ring reflects that spirit. The clean geometric elements reflect the bold Art Deco style with the small European and single-cut diamonds accentuating the center diamond’s beauty. This piece embodies the era's aesthetic while retaining a sense of simplicity and elegance. 

 Art Deco Diamond Wedding or Eternity Band

Featuring elegant single-cut diamonds, this wedding band is crafted in platinum and exudes sophistication and timelessness. Whether you are looking to emphasize your classic style or add glitz and glamor to your overall look, this Art Deco band is a perfect choice.

The wedding day is one of the most important in a person’s life. It is a day to be cherished forever so the wedding band for your special one should not be anything less! With its more than impressive collection of Art Deco wedding bands and quality assurance, Gesner Estate Jewelry is the best place to find that Antique Engagement Ring and Antique Wedding Band that will help you create an eternal memory.
