What is the difference between cushion cut and princess cut?

The biggest difference between the princess cut and the cushion cut diamond is the angles. The princess cut has pointed corners, where the cushion cut has the most rounded corners. The cushion cut gets its name because the shape of the diamond resembles a cushion. The cushion cut will also have a more convex surface, where in the princess cut it is flat and even appears a bit 'dimpled'.
