1 Carat Cushion Cut SI1 Lab Grown Diamonds

Yes, some 1 carat cushion SI1 lab grown diamonds are eye-clean, particularly those with crushed-ice faceting that disperses light aggressively. Chunky cushions are less likely to be eye-clean at SI1 since their transparent facets reveal inclusions more. At 1 carat, look for crushed-ice SI1 cushions with off-center, light-colored inclusions for the best chance at an eye-clean stone.

First, choose a crushed-ice faceting style for better inclusion concealment. Look for SI1 inclusions that are white or transparent and positioned off-center. Avoid dark inclusions centered under the table. In chunky cushions, SI1 is harder to pull off eye-clean at 1 carat. Confirm the stone looks clean face-up at arm's length under normal lighting before purchasing.

SI1 saves 15% to 25% compared to VS2 at 1 carat in a cushion lab grown diamond. In a crushed-ice pattern with favorable inclusions, this savings comes with no visible compromise. The budget freed up can fund a better setting or slightly larger stone. The key trade-off is that SI1 requires individual evaluation rather than being a guaranteed eye-clean grade across all cushion styles.
