1 Carat Cushion Cut Moissanite Ring+ 1.0-Carat Cushion Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones available. Only diamonds score higher at 10. For an engagement ring worn daily, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching and chipping, and holds up exceptionally well over time. Choosing 1 carat means choosing the size that has symbolized engagement rings longer than any other. It is a classic for a reason.

Yes, for most couples it is. Engagement rings are high-value items worn daily, making them susceptible to loss, theft, and accidental damage. Jewelry insurance is typically inexpensive relative to the ring's value, often 1 to 2 percent of its worth annually. Many homeowner and renter insurance policies cover jewelry with a rider, or you can use a dedicated jewelry insurer. One carat has been the benchmark engagement ring size for generations, and it remains one of the most popular choices today.

A cushion cut's rounded corners and large facets produce broad, pillowy flashes of light that fill the stone's roughly 5.5mm frame. Because moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, those flashes carry even more fire and rainbow color. The result is a romantic, vintage-inspired look with eye-catching brilliance.

Both. The cushion cut has roots in 19th-century cutting styles, which gives it a romantic, antique feel that suits vintage-inspired settings beautifully. But it has also been modernized with updated facet patterns that produce brilliant light performance. It is one of the few shapes that works equally well in a Georgian-inspired setting and a contemporary minimalist ring. A 1 carat stone hits the sweet spot that has defined engagement rings for decades: substantial enough to catch the eye, refined enough to suit any style.

Yes. Do Amore offers free engraving up to 27 characters. Standard fonts are included at no cost. Custom fonts or images can be added for a small fee. Engraving is a meaningful way to personalize the ring with a date, initials, or short phrase. Note that resizing after engraving may affect the inscription, so it is worth considering sizing carefully first. At 1 carat, this was the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds made larger sizes accessible, making it a classic, proven choice.
