Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

Two carat cushion cut lab grown diamonds are a wonderful spot, just above the average lab diamond size. A 2 carat cushion measures approximately 7.3mm x 7.3mm (standard) or 7.8mm x 6.8mm (elongated). Two carats gives the impression of slightly larger than average, without looking too big or gaudy. When looking for 2 carat cushions, look between 1.9 to 2.2 carats for best value.
A 2 carat cushion can appear slightly smaller face-up than a 2 carat oval or round because cushions carry more weight in depth. To maximize face-up size at 2 carats, look for depth under 68% and table between 58% and 68%. An elongated cushion covers more finger area. The pillow-shaped silhouette is substantial at 2 carats.
G or H color, VS2 clarity (crushed-ice) or VS1 (chunky faceting), depth under 68%. At 2 carats, the choice between crushed-ice and chunky faceting matters slightly more since the larger face amplifies faceting differences. When looking for 2 carat cushions, look between 1.9 to 2.2 carats for best value.
Lab growing produces consistent green coloring that is extremely difficult in nature. At 2 carats, the larger stone allows the green hue to display with greater depth and saturation than in smaller stones. The cushion cut's larger facets with rounded corners in a pillow-like shape distribute the color evenly across the face. Natural green diamonds are exceptionally rare in nature, available through lab creation, making them highly collectible.
