This one is solid gold throughout, hallmarked, and built around a certified stone. The cushion outline was chosen because it carries weight visually - at 2.0 carat it reads larger than a round stone of the same weight. See the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\"\u003ediamond collection\u003c\/a\u003e for other shapes and carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty is rarely taste. Most people know quite quickly which shape they want. What stops them is the gap between the stone they imagined and what a natural diamond of that size actually costs in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Solid Gold Changes Everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLab grown diamonds close that gap without asking you to accept a lesser stone. Identical hardness, identical brilliance, identical certification categories - a different origin and a different price. Combined with a solid gold setting, that means a bigger stone on a ring built to be worn every day. Every cushion three stone engagement ring we make is hallmarked and built to the same standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicture This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicture the moment you take it out. The stone catches the light before anything is said, and the size registers immediately - that is what a 2.0 carat centre stone does at arm's length. Years later it is still the ring being noticed, because solid gold does not wear thin and a diamond does not dull. A cushion three stone engagement ring is the piece people remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questions below are the ones buyers ask most often before choosing a cushion three stone engagement ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much is a 2 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 2 carat lab grown solitaire starts from around £1,790 in 9ct gold and £2,370 in 18ct. The same stone as a natural diamond would sit between £12,000 and £20,000 at UK retail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a three stone engagement ring mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA three stone ring has a centre diamond flanked by two side stones. The three stones are commonly read as past, present and future. Practically, the side stones add width and make the ring read larger on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a cushion cut diamond look like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion cut is a square outline with rounded corners, named after the shape of a pillow. Its larger facets produce broader flashes of light rather than the fine sparkle of a round brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich gold carat should I choose - 9ct, 14ct or 18ct?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e9ct is the most common choice in the UK: it is harder, so it scratches less in daily wear, and it is the most affordable. 18ct gives a richer gold colour and is softer. 14ct sits between the two. All three are hallmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIGI and GIA both certify lab grown diamonds. The certificate confirms carat, colour, clarity and cut, and states clearly that the stone is lab grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean a lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, a few drops of washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush are enough. Doing this once a month keeps the stone bright. Avoid chlorine and abrasive cleaners - the risk is to the gold setting rather than the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLab grown diamond or moissanite - which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not a diamond; it is silicon carbide. It throws more colour and costs less, but its hardness is 9.25. A lab grown diamond is harder at 10 and is certified as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds acceptable for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown engagement ring is no longer a minority choice in the UK. It is a common decision among younger buyers, largely because the same budget buys a noticeably larger stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qutahia Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794016995,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_YG-CT_9-LAB","price":3135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794049763,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_YG-CT_14-LAB","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794082531,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_YG-CT_18-LAB","price":4036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794115299,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_WG-CT_9-LAB","price":3135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794148067,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_WG-CT_14-LAB","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794180835,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_WG-CT_18-LAB","price":4036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794213603,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_RG-CT_9-LAB","price":3135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794246371,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_RG-CT_14-LAB","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658794279139,"sku":"101-10506-2-0-CU-COL_RG-CT_18-LAB","price":4036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7180\/8995\/files\/large_90b4fbf8-bca9-420b-b71e-3f9f8e6645a1.webp?v=1788324220","url":"https:\/\/qutahia.com\/products\/cushion-lab-diamond-three-stone-engagement-ring-2-0ct-101-10506-2-0-cu","provider":"Qutahia Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
