These citrine cushion cut earrings set a natural, treated citrine in a four-prong solitaire basket stud. The cushion shape, square with softly rounded corners, gives the golden stone a warm, even glow. Choose the total carat weight and the metal: white, yellow or rose gold, platinum, or Silvadium, a tarnish-resistant sterling silver.
Studs sit close for everyday ease; drops and dangles add graceful movement for evening.
Choose a secure screw back for daily wear, or a classic push back for quick on-and-off.
From subtle solitaires to bold statement carats — total weight is split across the pair.
White, yellow, rose gold or platinum — pick a tone that flatters your skin and wardrobe.
Buying guide
The cushion cut pairs a square outline with curved sides and rounded corners. Its broad facets show color in wide, soft flashes, so the citrine's yellow to orange tones look rich across the whole stone. Without sharp corners, the shape is also less likely to chip. The basket stud holds the stone on four prongs over a low, open frame that lets light in from the sides.
Citrine is the yellow to orange variety of quartz and a birthstone for November. It rates 7 on the Mohs scale, plenty for earrings, which see less wear than rings. Colors range from pale lemon to deep amber. Clean the studs with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, and keep them out of long, strong sunlight and high heat, which can change the color.
The studs come from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. Yellow gold blends with citrine for a soft, golden look, and rose gold adds a pink warmth. White gold, platinum and silver give the stone a brighter contrast. Prices start under $200, and many pairs are about $400.
