Soft edges, clear light
The Cushion Cut Edit
A square pendant with softened corners rests against a white ruffled top while you pause over a red iced drink. The cushion cut holds the daylight differently than a sharp geometric shape—its rounded edges scatter the glare so the stone reads as a glow rather than a flash.

The golden rules
Cushion Cut
- Mind the corners
- — A cushion cut sits softer on the chest than a princess cut. Let it rest where your neckline opens up so the rounded edges frame the stone instead of hiding behind fabric.
- Keep the chain simple
- — The cut does the work here. A plain chain lets the soft square read clearly without competing for attention against a busy link pattern.

The material
Why the cushion?
The cushion cut takes a square or rectangular outline and rounds every corner, creating a shape that sits between a classic brilliant round and a sharp geometric step cut. On a small dainty pendant, those softened edges catch available light in broad, even planes rather than tight flashes, which is why the stones on this page read as luminous even under flat café lighting.
Before you buy
Does a cushion cut look larger than a round stone?
Because it covers more surface area corner to corner, a cushion cut often appears slightly wider than a round stone of the same carat weight. On a dainty pendant, that means the shape catches the eye without needing a heavy setting.
Which neckline works best with these shapes?
The softened square sits cleanly against open necklines—scoop, V-neck, or an unbuttoned collar. High, tight necklines can crowd the rounded corners and hide the shape that makes the cut distinct.

Built to keep its shape
Most of what we carry is built on 316L — a steel that takes sweat, bag and desk without bending out of shape.
A steel base that resists rust
That base is the alloy used for surgical tools; color is plated over it, and the plating is what the guarantee covers.

Choosing the cut
If you already own sharp-edged jewelry, a cushion cut introduces contrast without changing your metal palette. The rounded corners soften the overall line of a stack or layered set, making it a useful addition to a collection built mostly on geometric or brilliant-round silhouettes.
