Criss cut cushion lab grown diamonds vary in facet density overall, with a more elaborate pattern producing finer, more numerous flashes of light and a simpler version delivering bolder, more contained sparkle across the stone’s rounded outline. Buyers who want maximum brilliance tend to prefer the denser pattern, while those seeking a calmer look opt for the simpler version.
Adapting the criss cut technique to a cushion’s curved corners takes more specialized skill than applying it to a shape with straight sides, since the crosswise facets need to follow the stone’s continuously changing outline. That precision, combined with carat weight and clarity, plays a significant role in the price of a lab created diamond finished this way.
Buyers often compare a lab grown criss cut cushion diamond against a standard cushion brilliant when weighing their options, since both aim for increased sparkle, though the criss cut’s specific facet arrangement produces a visibly different pattern of light. The dense faceting used here can also help mask minor inclusions somewhat more effectively than a traditional cushion’s broader facets.
Because this faceting style remains less common than either the traditional cushion or the cushion brilliant, sourcing a well-proportioned criss cut cushion lab diamond sometimes takes additional time compared to those more widely available options. Metal choice shapes this stone’s overall presentation much like it does for other cushion variations, with white metals emphasizing the crisp brilliance.
Buyers who love cushion’s romantic outline but have found the traditional cut’s broader flashes too subtle for their taste often land on the criss cut version as a way to keep that classic silhouette while gaining more sparkle. It’s a popular middle ground for anyone who loves cushion’s shape but wants more visual energy.
Loose Grown Diamond also offers custom criss cut cushion lab grown diamond creation, giving you options well beyond this collection. Provide your specifications, or simply share a reference image of the look you’re after. What comes back will be the stone you had in mind, made real.
This cut’s facet pattern trims some depth off the stone’s base, spreading more weight across the top. A criss-cut cushion lab diamond can look a bit larger face up than a deeper cut stone of the same weight.
This cut’s bold, lively sparkle works well with a simple, plain band or a thin pave setting that lets the facets do the talking. A criss cut cushion lab diamond also looks great in a halo setting for even more brightness.
