1 Carat Cushion Cut VS2 Lab Grown Diamonds

VS2 is the best value clarity for 1 carat cushion lab grown diamonds with crushed-ice faceting, where it is reliably eye-clean. For chunky cushions, VS2 is eye-clean in most cases but should be evaluated individually. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades. VS2 in a crushed-ice cushion is the most budget-efficient eye-clean option.

VS2 is eye-clean in the majority of 1 carat cushion lab grown diamonds. Crushed-ice cushions conceal VS2 inclusions very effectively. Chunky cushions with large transparent facets are mostly eye-clean at VS2 but occasionally reveal inclusions. For guaranteed eye-clean quality across all cushion faceting styles at 1 carat, VS1 is the safer universal choice. VS2 is the better value for crushed-ice patterns specifically.

The best overall specification for a 1 carat cushion lab created diamond is G or H color, VS2 clarity (crushed-ice) or VS1 (chunky), and depth under 68% for maximum face-up size. Evaluate the specific cushion's sparkle pattern, as faceting style varies more in cushion cuts than in most other shapes. The crushed-ice versus chunky choice affects both the stone's character and your optimal clarity selection.
