Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

VS2 is the most recommended clarity for a 1 carat round lab created diamond because the round brilliant is the single best shape at concealing inclusions, and VS2 is the lowest grade at which eye-clean quality is consistently guaranteed. This makes VS2 the exact point where spending more on clarity produces zero visible improvement on the finger. It is the clarity sweet spot for round cut value optimization.
A 1 carat round VS2 lab grown diamond is eye-clean in the vast majority of cases. The round brilliant's 57-58 facets create such intense light dispersion that VS2 inclusions are essentially invisible at this size. In very rare cases, a poorly positioned dark inclusion could be marginally detectable, but for practical purposes, VS2 in a 1 carat round is a reliably eye-clean grade.
The ideal specification for a 1 carat round lab grown diamond is: Excellent or Ideal cut (the single most important factor), G or H color (faces up white), and VS2 clarity (eye-clean). This combination is recommended by the majority of independent diamond experts and delivers a stone that appears colorless, flawless, and maximally brilliant at the best possible value. Prioritize cut quality above all else.
