Why Miley Cyrus’ Cushion Cut Engagement Ring Is The Coolest

Miley Cyrus was spotted rocking a major sparkler a few weeks back on that finger sparking rumours that she and longtime boyfriend Maxx Morando were engaged. The two appeared together on the red carpet for the premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash in Los Angeles on Monday night and the cozy PDA moment gave us a moment to seriously zoom in on the chunky set, cushion cut diamond ring and wonder exactly what this beguiling piece was all about.

Today, People confirmed that Cyrus said did indeed say yes. Her ring is a custom-crafted piece from California-based jeweller Jacquie Aiche who’s famous for her whimsical, statement pieces. The thick 14-karat gold engagement ring design features an east-west bezel setting starring a four to five carat elongated cushion cut diamond.

Cyrus’ minimal setting is modern, striking and the complete opposite of another famous pop star’s equally dazzling cushion cut engagement ring. Taylor Swift made the old-world style cut a talking point in 2025; and Cyrus is now continuing that conversation. These very different brides-to-be have engagement rings with totally unique vibes which perfectly illustrates the versatility and beauty of elongated cushion cut diamonds.

Toronto-based jeweller Jared Brown believes the cushion cut is having a moment because it hits that sweet spot of being soft, romantic, and eye catching. “I love Miley’s ring,” Brown says. “The cushion cut feels very current but is still soft and timeless. The chunky gold east-west setting gives it a bold, modern look without trying too hard. It looks effortless but intentional, which is why it stands out. The rounded corners and pillowy shape of the diamond give it a classic yet modern feel, with just the right amount of sparkle and individuality.”

Brown says the elongated cushion is particularly flattering and elegant on the hand, and a shape he personally prefers over a square shape cushion cut. “I always recommend going elongated because it also gives great finger coverage without looking bulky,” he reports. “For a modern alternative, I also really love an emerald cut diamond. The clean lines and soft, refined sparkle make it the perfect quiet luxury choice.” —Alison McGill
