Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

Yes, VS1 clarity is always eye-clean at 1 carat in a lab diamond, regardless of the diamond shape. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds came around. At 1 carat, VS1 inclusions are small enough to be invisible to the naked eye across every shape, including step cuts like emerald and asscher that tend to show clarity more openly.
For a 1 carat lab grown diamond in a brilliant-cut shape (round, oval, cushion, princess, pear, radiant, heart, marquise), VS2 is typically the better value since both grades are eye-clean and VS2 costs less. For a step-cut shape (emerald or asscher) at 1 carat, VS1 is the safer choice because step cuts reveal clarity more openly. VS1 is the universal safe pick if you want guaranteed eye-clean clarity regardless of shape.
G or H color paired with VS1 clarity at 1 carat creates one of the best-value combinations in lab created diamonds. Both the color and clarity appear top-quality to the naked eye while sitting at price points well below the highest grades. This combination gives you a 1 carat diamond that looks colorless and flawless on the finger at a price that allows room for a quality cut and setting.
