Capitalizing on the diamond trend for ideal cuts, Kotlar cleverly modified the classic cushion to make it full of fire. Trademarked as “the world’s most brilliant cushion cut diamond,” the KOTLAR Cushion® arranges 61 facets so that the four main facets point toward the corners of the stone. The makers describe the result as “ecstatic brilliance, with no bow-tie effect.”
The KOTLAR Cushion® can cost as little as $1,000 or as much as half a million dollars or more. Varying in shape from square to slightly rectangular, with rounded corners and soft, feminine contours, the brilliant KOTLAR Cushion® is a modern heirloom. Diamonds come in colors from D to K, clarities from internally flawless to SI2, and sizes from .70 carats to 20 carats—accompanied by a GIA report, the number of which is laser inscribed on each stone with the KOTLAR Cushion® logo.

KOTLAR Cushion® Diamonds
The KOTLAR Cushion® diamond is a modern interpretation of the classic cushion shape. The cushion shape, one of the oldest polished diamond shapes, is noted for its large crown and pavilion facets and a large open culet. The large facets were created to maximize the diamond’s appeal in candlelight, the main source of interior illumination prior to the 20th century. Unfortunately, the size, shape, and arrangement of these large facets completely drain the cushion shape of the fire and brilliance that has become the characteristic trademark of modern brilliant cut diamonds.
The KOTLAR Cushion® recreates the cushion shape as a brilliant cut stone while maintaining the classic romantic look of the cushion. With 61 facets, no culet, and unyielding tolerances on proportions, the KOTLAR Cushion® stands alone as the diamond of choice for exceptional jewelry.
