1 Carat Cushion Cut VS2 Diamonds

VS2 is the best value for crushed-ice cushions, where it is reliably eye-clean. One carat natural diamonds have been the average size for many decades. For chunky cushions, VS2 is eye-clean in most cases but should be evaluated individually. VS2 in a crushed-ice cushion is the most budget-efficient eye-clean option.

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

G or H color, VS2 (crushed-ice) or VS1 (chunky), and depth under 68% for maximum face-up size. Evaluate the specific stone's sparkle pattern. The crushed-ice versus chunky choice affects both character and your optimal clarity selection.
