A modern take on traditional cushion cut designs, elongated engagement rings have an elegant design that sets them apart. This ring design has the perfect balance of soft, rounded edges and a chic, sophisticated silhouette. The length of the cut can also have a flattering effect on the finger, making it appear longer and more slender. If you’ve always loved the timeless appeal of a traditional cushion cut but prefer a shape or longer styles that make your fingers look longer, you will love this ring. With its timeless appeal and distinctive shape, this type of engagement ring is sure to make a statement in all the right ways.
Elongated Cushion Cut Engagement Rings to Inspire
Here are just some examples of elongated cushion-cut engagement rings to inspire your ring choice.
Classic Solitaire

Perfect for those who prefer minimal, subtle, stylish rings, you can never go wrong with a classic solitaire. This ring features a yellow gold band, with an elongated cushion diamond in the centre. Although gold is always a sophisticated choice, this ring would work equally well in any other metal. You could also add something extra by choosing a coloured diamond.
Wrapped Band

Wrapped bands are ideal for modern brides who love unique styles. This design features a wrap-around band that winds around the finger, with the centre stone positioned at the end in a simple setting. The combination of cool-toned metal and white diamonds adds to its appeal, but warmer metals such as yellow or rose gold are a good choice if you want to make the ring stand out a bit more.
Gold Halo

Another classic design is the halo. In this design, the halo surrounds the elongated centre stone, with a series of pave stones set along a gold band. This is the perfect choice for brides who love rings that have plenty of sparkle. Adding pave stones to your ring is a great way to maximise the size of the ring without using larger stones. Halo designs also help the centre stone stand out more easily.
Gradient Pave

Another take on the pave band is a gradient pave band. This band features a gentle curve, encrusted with small diamonds that get larger as they get closer to the centre stone. The effect is subtle but stylish, making it a slight variation on conventional pave rings without being too over the top.
Hidden Halo

Hidden halo rings continue to be a popular choice – for good reason. Elegant, feminine, and surprisingly subtle, these rings feature hidden stones. In this ring, the diamond takes centre stage, while smaller stones are positioned along the band. The combination of diamonds and rose gold adds even more to the ring.
Double Band

The combination of rose gold and morganite has remained a classic choice, with the mixture of two warm hues perfectly complementing each other. In this ring, a modern double band adds visual detail, while tiny white pave diamonds along each band add the final touch.
