How to Choose the Best 1 Carat Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond
Choose Your Preferred Facet Pattern
Cushion cut diamonds are available with chunky facets that create bold flashes of light or crushed ice facets that produce a finer, glittering sparkle. Both styles are beautiful, and the best choice depends on your personal preference.
Prioritize Symmetry and Polish
Excellent symmetry and polish enhance the cushion cut's brilliance and ensure the diamond displays an attractive and balanced appearance.
Select Color and Clarity Carefully
For most buyers, E–F color and VS1–VS2 clarity offer an excellent balance of brilliance, eye-clean beauty, and overall value.
Always Choose IGI Certified Diamonds
An IGI grading report independently verifies your diamond's carat weight, color, clarity, proportions, and other important quality characteristics.
