Old Mine Cushion Internally Flawless Lab Grown Diamonds

IF is premium clarity ensuring no internal inclusions, which is visible through the old mine cushion's larger facets. The antique-style faceting shows clarity slightly more openly than modern cushion cuts. IF provides the confidence of near-perfect clarity in a stone whose larger facets make the interior somewhat more visible.

Both are eye-clean in old mine cushions. The larger facets make IF slightly more appreciable than in tightly faceted modern cushions. VS1 costs 15% to 25% less and is still visually clean. For the vintage aesthetic, the choice between IF and VS1 produces no visible difference on the finger.

IF is worth it if the grading report matters, for larger stones (2+), or if you want to take advantage of the old mine cushion's larger facets showing the pristine interior. For on-finger beauty at standard sizes, VS1 or VS2 delivers the same visual result.

A Internally Flawless old mine cushion natural diamond looks best in vintage and antique-inspired settings, milgrain bezels, and ornate solitaire designs. At Internally Flawless clarity, no inclusions visible under 10x magnification, only minor surface blemishes. The antique proportions create broader flashes of light compared to modern cushion cuts. All Do Amore rings include free lifetime maintenance covering inspections, polishing, cleaning, stone tightening, rhodium plating, and resizing.
