Facet style is one of the more interesting variables within lab grown cushion diamonds. Modern cushion cuts often use a finer, denser faceting pattern sometimes called crushed ice, which produces a bright, glittery effect, while more traditional cushion cuts use larger facets for broader, calmer flashes of light across the lab diamond’s surface. Both styles carry their own distinct charm depending on personal taste and the setting they’re placed in.
A 0.27-carat, IGI-certified, Ideal cut, E color, SI1 clarity cushion cut lab grown diamond costs around $110, at Loose Grown Diamond. SI1 clarity brings the price down while still keeping the stone looking clean at typical viewing distance, since any inclusions present are minor and generally require magnification to spot with the naked eye or a loupe, even by a trained jeweler.
Because a cushion’s broad facets can reveal more of the stone’s interior than a densely faceted round brilliant, it’s worth paying attention to where any inclusions sit rather than just the clarity grade alone. A well-cut stone tends to hide minor flaws more gracefully than a poorly proportioned one, regardless of the grade on paper or the certificate it comes with.
Setting choice can shape how a lab grown cushion diamond reads on the hand. A trellis mount lifts the stone for extra light, while a bezel setting offers a sleeker, more protected profile for daily wear and active routines throughout the week.
