Square Cushion Cut Sapphires

Square shaped sapphire stones can have a number of cuts such as

• Asscher cut (a square Emerald cut);
• Princess cut (Brilliant cut with sharp corners);
• Radiant cut (modified fusion of Emerald and Brilliant cuts) and;
• the Cushion cut (rounded corners).

We like it keep it simple around here and call all square shaped sapphires a square! (slash Cushion because that is the most common and popular cut for the square shape).

Squares and rectangles are stable. They’re familiar and trusted shapes and suggest honesty. They have right angles and represent order, mathematics, rationality, and formality. They are seen as earthbound. Rectangles are the most common geometric shape encountered. The majority of text we read is set in rectangles or squares.
