Cushion Cut Earrings
The cushion cut gets its name from its outline. Think of a square softened by rounded corners, almost like a small pillow shape. This diamond cut has been around for centuries. Earlier versions appeared in antique jewelry, but modern cutting techniques brought more brilliance and consistency to the shape.
Cushion cut earrings highlight that balance. The shape sits neatly on the ear while still catching light from multiple facets. Many people choose them when they want something softer than a square diamond but more structured than a round one.
