Few cushion halo engagement ring styles capture the heart quite like a cushion cut halo. With its soft, pillow-like shape and vintage-inspired brilliance, the cushion cut diamond exudes timeless charm. Add a halo of radiant accent stones, and the result is pure magic—a ring that blends romance and radiance in perfect harmony. At KRK Jewels, we believe a cushion cut halo engagement ring is more than jewelry—it’s a celebration of enduring love, hand-crafted to shine through every chapter of your story.
The Allure of the Cushion Cut
The cushion cut has been beloved for over a century. Originally called the “old mine cut,” it’s one of the oldest diamond shapes in history. With its rounded corners and larger facets, the cushion cut strikes a beautiful balance between old-world elegance and contemporary brilliance.
Unlike the sharp lines of an emerald or princess cut, the cushion cut has a soft, romantic feel. It reflects light in warm flashes rather than sharp sparkles, giving it a glowing, candlelit quality that’s rich and intimate. Whether square or slightly elongated, the cushion cut flatters every hand with its curving, graceful silhouette.
At KRK Jewels, we source only the finest cushion cut diamonds—stones that blend ideal proportions, depth, and symmetry to ensure maximum brilliance and minimal light leakage.
The Halo Effect: More Than Just Sparkle
A halo setting adds a ring of smaller diamonds around the center stone, magnifying its presence and brilliance. For the cushion cut, the halo is a perfect complement. It enhances the soft shape while adding contrast and dazzle, making the center diamond appear up to half a carat larger.
Here’s why cushion cut halo rings remain a top choice for romantics:
Extra Brilliance: The halo’s smaller diamonds add light and fire, creating a shimmering frame that catches the eye from every angle.
Visual Size Boost: Even modestly sized center stones appear more impressive, giving you more presence for your investment.
Vintage-Inspired Elegance: The cushion cut and halo combination is a nod to antique style while remaining timeless and versatile.
Design Flexibility: Choose a single halo, a double halo, or a hidden halo—each offering a different level of detail and brilliance.
At KRK Jewels, every halo is custom-fit to the cushion cut’s exact outline, ensuring a seamless frame that enhances, rather than overpowers, the center diamond.

Choosing the Right Cushion Cut Diamond
When selecting a cushion cut diamond, focus on the following:
Shape Preference: Some prefer square cushions (ratio close to 1.00), while others love a slightly elongated shape (1.10–1.20).
Clarity & Color: Due to larger facets, we recommend VS1 or better for clarity and G-H or better for color to ensure a bright, clean look.
Setting Style: The cushion cut adapts beautifully to both vintage-inspired and sleek modern settings.
