1 Carat Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamonds

One carat is popular for cushion cut lab grown diamonds because it offers a satisfying visual presence with the cushion's distinctive pillow-shaped silhouette. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds came around. A 1 carat cushion measures approximately 5.5mm x 5.5mm (standard) or 6mm x 5mm (elongated), creating a soft, romantic presence on the finger.

A 1 carat cushion cut lab created diamond can appear slightly smaller face-up than a 1 carat round or oval because cushions carry more weight in their depth. To maximize face-up size, look for a depth percentage under 68% and a table between 58% and 68%. An elongated cushion (1.10 to 1.20 length-to-width ratio) can also appear larger by covering more finger area than a square cushion.

The best specifications for a 1 carat cushion lab grown diamond are G or H color, VS2 clarity (crushed-ice) or VS1 clarity (chunky faceting), and depth under 68%. Choose between standard (square) and elongated based on your shape preference. Evaluate the specific stone's sparkle pattern, as cushions vary significantly in their faceting style. The crushed-ice versus chunky choice affects both sparkle character and clarity visibility.
