However, cushions can at times be bottom-heavy, which means most of the diamond weight is at the bottom of the stone instead of the top, and it will appear smaller than 8 carats.
Your first priority would be to find out if your future partner prefers a square or elongated cushion.Īn 8-carat elongated cushion has a larger appearance than a square cushion due to the weight distribution. When purchasing an 8-carat cushion diamond, it is important to consider ratio, weight distribution, and color. No two cushion cuts are the same and they are all unique, despite what the certificate says. Side stones such as trapezoids, bullets, tapered baguettes or cadillacs pair beautifully wtih this angular stone.Įlongated and square cushion cuts are both timeless, however, they only rose into popularity around 2019 and have continued to be popular since. Radiants work beautifully as a solitaire and as a three stone ring, though we have seen most radiant cut diamond rings of this size as a Three Stone Diamond Ring. The radiant cut diamond’s 70 facets mask most inclusions (though you need to have the right inclusions). When it comes to clarity, due to the plentiful facet structure of this large table stone, you can get away with slightly lower clarity, from VS1 up to SI1. Radiants show adn intensify color more than most stones (most yellow diamonds are radiant cuts), so being in the colorless (D,E,F) to top tier near colorless (G,H) range is most advisable. Because Radiant cuts have a long, large open table (similar to a princess cut) you have more visibility into the center of the diamond. Generally a 1:15 - 1:2 ratio, the radiant cut rectangle shape mesmerizes women around the world with the scintillation and disco ball sparkle of light refraction and fire. Radiants are the Max Sparkle stone with 70 facets, 12 more facets than all of her other sister shapes. We only source colorless range (D, E, F) and top tier near-colorless range (G, H) for 8-carat oval cuts, so that nothing gets in the way of that perfect shine and sparkle. The larger the stone, the more visible the color, and oval cuts show more color than their round or Emerald-cut counterparts. The most important factor to keep in mind with 8-carat oval diamonds is color. All of our diamonds are sourced from the most ethical and highly-esteemed diamond sourcers on Rodeo Drive. Here at Miss Diamond Ring, we suggest staying in the VS1/VS2/SI1 range. The oval cut does allow you to cut corners with clarity due to the oval diamond’s faceting structure, but some facets and inclusions show more than others. When searching for an 8-carat oval diamond, keep in mind that larger stones can show more flaws or inclusions, which are traits of a lower Clarity diamond. The spread and the sparkle of the 8-carat oval diamonds appear larger than other diamond shapes. Oval cuts are a classic and high-in-demand choice, and the elongated shape is flattering on all women’s hands.
