Here we are yet again, at the begging of another Daily Diamond series.  Recently, I have been receiving an unusually high number of requests for recommendations for Cushion Cut diamonds.  So I figured this would be a great time to start a new series of Daily Diamonds tracing the best Cushion Cut diamonds from a budget of $20,000 all the way down to a budget of $2000.

Today, we begin with the best Cushion Cut Diamond for $20,000.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection.  When looking for a ring to match with a diamond as significant as today’s selection, it’s probably best to choose a band that isn’t too thin and delicate as it will look overpowered by the stone.  A great design that will balance quite nicely with today’s large diamond is James Allen’s 18k White Gold 4mm Rounded Cathedral Solitaire Diamond Ring.  This ring will really bring out the beauty in today’s cushion cut.

As always with our Daily Diamond selections, today’s stone is completely clean to the naked eye.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond.  If your fiance to be is the kind of woman that needs a splash of color in everything, then James Allen’s Platinum 3-Stone Trillion Cut Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring might be the perfect setting for you.  The triangle shaped trillions are a great accent to a square princess cut center stone.

As with all of my princess cut daily diamond recommendations, the cut quality on today’s diamond is superb.  If you have a preference for small tables, then today’s diamond in particular might be perfect for you.  A table this small (64%) is truly difficult to find on most modern cut princess cuts.  The only caveat with today’s diamond is that the Length to Width ratio is a tiny bit too large.  GIA defines square as 1.00:1.00 to 1.05:1.00.  So today’s 1.06 is just outside of that range.  If you are very sensitive to squareness, then today’s diamond might not be right for you.
