Short Answer

Elongated cushion cut engagement rings are trending in Sandy Springs for their ability to blend classic charm with a dramatic, modern look. The cut keeps the rounded corners and brilliance of a cushion diamond but stretches the length-to-width ratio (often 1.10–1.20), creating a sleeker profile. This shape often looks larger than traditional round stones of the same carat, making it a great value choice. Our artisan jewelers in Sandy Springs design these rings in 14k, 18k, or platinum, with both lab-grown and natural diamonds available. Whether you want a solitaire for simplicity or a halo for extra sparkle, this style delivers elegance with everyday wearability.

FAQs

What makes elongated cushion cuts different from ovals?

An elongated cushion has softer, rounded corners while an oval has sharper curves. The cushion gives more fire and a slightly vintage vibe.

What’s the best ratio for an elongated cushion cut?

Most clients prefer 1.15–1.20 for a true elongated look. Ratios under 1.10 feel closer to a square cushion.

Do elongated cushion cuts cost more?

They are usually priced similarly to standard cushions. Since they look larger, many clients find them a better value than rounds.
