1 Carat Cushion Cut Diamonds

One carat offers a satisfying visual presence with the cushion's distinctive pillow-shaped silhouette. One carat natural diamonds have been the average size for many decades. 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 can appear slightly smaller face-up than a round or oval because cushions carry more weight in depth. To maximize face-up size, look for depth under 68% and table between 58% and 68%. An elongated cushion (1.10 to 1.20 ratio) can also appear larger by covering more finger area.

G or H color, VS2 (crushed-ice) or VS1 (chunky faceting), and depth under 68%. Choose between standard and elongated based on preference. Evaluate the specific stone's sparkle pattern, as cushions vary significantly in faceting style. The crushed-ice versus chunky choice affects both sparkle character and clarity visibility.
