What Are Cushion Pendants?
Cushion Pendants feature a gemstone or diamond in a cushion cut—a style known for its square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, resembling a pillow or cushion. This cut combines the classic appeal of the old mine cut with modern faceting techniques, offering a unique fusion of sparkle, symmetry, and softness.
Whether suspended solo or surrounded by accent stones, cushion pendants have a romantic and regal quality that flatters every neckline and outfit. From minimalist elegance to show-stopping statement pieces, cushion pendants are a must-have for those who appreciate timeless luxury.
Why Cushion Cut? A Shape That Radiates Elegance
The cushion cut has been a favorite among royalty and fine jewelry collectors for centuries. It exudes warmth, depth, and brilliance—perfect for showcasing colored stones or diamonds.
Why Choose Cushion Pendants:
- Rounded edges give a softer, more elegant look
- Faceting maximizes fire and brilliance
- Complements both vintage and contemporary styles
- Especially stunning with colored diamonds or gemstones
- Ideal for halo and cluster settings
Whether you prefer a bold centerpiece or a subtle daily accent, the cushion shape delivers timeless grace.
