{"product_id":"2ct-cushion-cut-solitaire-engagement-ring-14k-gold","title":"2ct Cushion Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring – 14K Gold","description":"\u003ch2\u003e2 Carat Cushion Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 2ct cushion cut Lab-Grown Diamond, D–F color, VS+ clarity, IGI certified, four-prong set on a plain polished band in solid 14K gold. Made to order in 7 to 10 business days on my bench in Woodside, Queens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big is a 2 carat cushion cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 7mm across, with the corner-to-corner spread running wider. A 2ct round measures around 8.1mm, so a cushion faces up a little smaller edge to edge — like a princess, it carries more of its weight in depth. What it gains is a softer outline and a warmer light return, which is why a cushion reads fuller on the hand than the millimeters imply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCrushed ice or chunky facets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the question that only matters once you get to two carats, and almost nobody explains it. Cushions are cut two ways. A crushed-ice cushion has many small facets that scatter light into a glittering, grainy sparkle. A chunky or brilliant-style cushion has fewer, larger facets that flash in distinct blocks, closer to what a round does. At one carat the difference is subtle. At two carats it is the whole character of the stone — a 7mm crushed-ice cushion looks busy and bright, a chunky one looks clean and deliberate. Tell me which you want and I will source to it. If you do not know, I will show you both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCushion or round at 2 carats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round is brighter and faces up marginally larger. A cushion is softer in outline, less expensive per carat, and less expected — which for a lot of people is the point. If you like round but do not want the ring everyone else has, this is the shape to look at. They are close cousins rather than opposites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the corners fragile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is a real advantage at this size. The corners are rounded rather than pointed, so there is nothing sharp to chip against a doorframe the way a marquise or pear tip can. Four prongs hold a 2ct cushion securely with no V-prongs or reinforced head required. Along with the emerald cut it is one of the two most durable large stones you can wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat color and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eD through F, the colorless range, and VS+ clarity, eye-clean at any angle. Cushions are brilliant-faceted so they hide inclusions better than a step cut — but at two carats there is far more surface for tint to show, and cushions in particular hold warmth in the corners. Staying in D–F keeps the whole stone even from center to edge. The IGI report ships with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich wedding band fits it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA contoured band. There is a second gallery under the head — an extra rail of gold beneath the basket that carries the stone's weight and stops the prongs flexing over years of wear. It is why this head will still be tight in a decade, and most makers leave it out. It is also why a straight band will not seat: the band meets the gallery rather than the shank and stands off, leaving a gap under the stone. A curved band dips at the center, clears the gallery and nests flush. I make both to order, so tell me and I will cut the pair to meet properly — or start with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/curved-wedding-band-plain-contour\"\u003eplain contour band\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/curved-diamond-wedding-band-contour\"\u003epavé contour\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take, and can it be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order in 7 to 10 business days, sizes 4 through 9 including halves. Resizing is complimentary within 60 days of delivery, craftsmanship carries a lifetime warranty, and you have 14 days to return it if it is not right and you have not had it engraved.
