1 Carat Cushion Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Rings, grown in light.
Rounded corners and a soft, pillowed glow.

The pillow shape, explained
Cushions are square or gently oblong stones whose corners are rounded off, with chunky facets that produce bold, slow flashes. The cut dates back to the 1800s, and next to a princess or radiant it looks gentler and more romantic. Under candlelight, those wide facets give off a slow, rolling glow.
Picking a shank style
- Solitaire: a rounded, unadorned shank so the pillow outline speaks alone.
- Pavé shoulders: petite lab-grown diamonds stud the upper shank and add a quiet shimmer.
- Hidden halo: melee encircles the cushion's base over a pavé shank, a detail most visible in profile.
Warm metal or cool
Yellow and rose gold flatter those softened corners and give an heirloom air. Platinum and white gold suit a sharper, contemporary mood. Most shanks measure about 2.2 mm, narrow enough to welcome a wedding band beside them later.
Looking after a cushion
A cushion's open crown shows fingerprints fast. A microfiber cloth handles daytime smudges, and a weekly bath in lukewarm suds handles the rest. Keep it in its own compartment, since its center is hard enough to scratch gold.

What is the price of a 1 carat cushion cut diamond?
Novara's rings with a 1 carat cushion cut lab-grown diamond begin below $1,000 with the mounting included, and most styles cost roughly $1,100. Your cushion arrives with paperwork from IGI or GIA describing it. A mined one-carat cushion typically sells for several times this.
