1 ctw stud earrings - cushion or round brilliant?

Which will appear larger? I know cushions tend to face up larger and also that the brilliance of rounds tend to make them appear larger.

For 1/2 carat each studs, would you get round or cushion?

Round. I like symmetry and the cushions will rotate on each ear and look off, in my opinion. Good luck in your search!

Oh! I didn’t think about the fact that if they rotated the cushions would look off. Thank you!!

Same, I hate earrings being in different rotations on the ear.

Another vote for rounds. Also, I think cushions face up smaller for carat size than do rounds???

Yes, correct! They definitely do in most cases.

These are the Lightbox blue lab diamonds on sale at Bloomie’s — lots of good chat about them (and customer pictures) on the Lab Grown Diamond/MMD forum.

Hands down round. Nothing sparkles more than the round cut.

Absolutely round! Much more dazzle dazzle!
