Wing curvature, the shape of the sides between the corners, is one of the finer details that separates lab grown cushion diamonds from one another. Gentle, even curves tend to give the stone a softer, more traditional look, while straighter wings create a slightly more angular, modern silhouette overall and a distinctly different personality on the hand. It’s a subtle detail, but one that shapes how the stone photographs and wears.
A 0.55-carat, IGI-certified, Ideal cut, I color, VS1 clarity lab grown cushion diamond is priced around $188 when buying from Loose Grown Diamond. At this size, the stone’s proportions and clarity grade both play a meaningful role in the final price, more so than color, since I still reads warm but pleasant against most metals and settings you might choose. Carat weight remains the largest single factor in the overall cost.
VS1 clarity holds up well here, keeping the stone eye-clean without paying extra for a grade the eye wouldn’t be able to appreciate anyway. Cut quality equally matters, since a well-proportioned lab grown cushion makes the most of whatever clarity and color it’s paired with overall and at any size or price point. A stone cut with care tends to outperform its grades on paper.
Setting choice can highlight different aspects of a lab-created cushion diamond. A split-shank design draws attention to the stone’s corners, while a solitaire setting keeps the focus purely on its soft, rounded silhouette and outline without distraction from other elements. Either approach can complement the stone’s proportions well, depending on personal taste.
