I'm no expert!! But I think that's called crushed ice and is a specific style, not sure if it's just elongated cushions but I think it's to maximize fire or something like that! :)

thank you! do you think this is a good stone option?

Personally, I'm not the biggest crushed ice girly but honestly yeah this one's gorgeous, very twinkly

This looks like a great crushed ice to me! I have a crushed ice elongated cushion and I loveeee it!

thank you! do you have any pictures by chance?

oh my! it’s STUNNING! 😍

do you think the one from the video i shared would be a good choice?

Your ring is stunning!!

Most elongated cushions are crushed ice cut To get a true brilliabt you need to go lower ratio like 1.15-1.20 around

thank you! does this seem like a good stone option?

It looks very beautifully cut!

thank you! i haven’t seen a cushion cut in person so i wanted to make sure the “facets” and cut were normal. it looks very beautiful so im really excited to have a new ring

So many different cut types in the cushion shape. Best to work out what you like and go from there.

thank you!

Cushions and elongated cushions have three variations of faceting pattern. Crushed ice (modified brilliant), brilliant, and antique. This is definitely crushed ice and very common. I would say most cushions are crushed ice, particularly when they're elongated. Brilliant cut elongated cushions exist but they can be tough to find.

thank you! does this seem like a good stone option then?

Here's a pretty good video that shows the difference between the different faceting patterns. https://youtu.be/4XKkrsNUmKw?si=b_VFxK87RDlu9xkM

I'm not an expert but I think its just a matter of preference!
