3 Carat Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamonds

A 3 carat cushion cut is about a carat above the average engagement diamond, making it a substantial, romantic choice. The cushion's soft, rounded corners and pillow-like silhouette create a warm, vintage-inspired look. At 3 carats, the cushion's chunky fire and broad light flashes are dramatic and eye-catching. If considering this size, look between 2.9 to 3.3 carats.

A 3 carat cushion typically measures about 8.5mm x 8.5mm (square) or 9mm x 8mm (elongated). Its soft, rounded corners create a substantial, pillow-like presence on the finger. At this size, the cushion's broad light flashes and chunky fire create a warm, romantic sparkle visible from across the room.

At 3 carats, choose between a square cushion (1.00-1.05 L/W ratio) and elongated cushion (1.10-1.20 L/W ratio). The cushion's chunky faceting creates large flashes of colored fire, which are especially dramatic at this size. The broad facets also mean clarity and color may be slightly more visible than in round brilliants.

A 3 carat cushion natural diamond looks best in halo settings that add size, solitaire prongs, and bezel settings. At 3 carats, the stone has significant presence, so a simpler setting lets the diamond take center stage. Look for depth under 68% and table between 58% and 68% to maximize face-up size.
