Buying guide

What a cushion cut looks like

Cushion cut topaz earrings show a square outline with gently curved sides and rounded corners. The facets are larger than on a round brilliant, so the stone throws broad flashes of color and light. The rounded corners also make the stone less likely to chip. In the basket stud, four prongs hold each stone above a low, open frame that sits close to the ear.

About blue topaz

Topaz rates 8 on the Mohs scale, so it is among the harder colored gemstones and suits everyday earrings. Blue topaz is a birthstone for December, and it comes in tones from light sky blue to deeper, richer blues. Like most blue topaz sold today, RJ's stone is treated to bring out its color. Wash the studs in warm, soapy water and dry them with a soft cloth.

Carat weight and metal

The studs are offered from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. White gold, platinum and silver match the cool blue for a crisp, icy look, and yellow or rose gold set it off with warmth. Prices start under $200, and many pairs are about $400.

Made to order

Each piece is made for you in 10–15 days. Shipping is free on orders over $500, and returns are accepted within 30 days.
