1 Carat Cushion Cut Internally Flawless Diamonds

IF is premium clarity ensuring no internal inclusions. One carat natural diamonds have been the average size for many decades. The cushion's larger facets can show interior details more openly, so IF provides extra confidence. IF is especially well-suited for chunky-faceted 1 carat cushions. For crushed-ice cushions, IF exceeds what is needed.

Both are eye-clean at 1 carat in any cushion faceting style. In crushed-ice, both look identical. In chunky, IF provides extra assurance through the transparent facets. VS1 costs 15% to 25% less and is typically sufficient even for chunky patterns at 1 carat. The choice depends on confidence preference.

IF is worth choosing for chunky faceting where transparent facets showcase the interior, for the grading report's significance (heirloom, investment), or for personal satisfaction. For crushed-ice cushions at 1 carat, VS1 or VS2 delivers identical visual results at a lower price.
