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.

At Gesner Estate Jewelry, you can find an extensive collection of engagement rings with precious stones accentuated by unique cuts, and our team can assist you in making your purchase a gratifying experience. If you are in our area, visit us in person at our Tampa location.

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!
