Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

Yes, many 1 carat round SI1 lab grown diamonds are eye-clean. The round brilliant is the best shape for finding eye-clean SI1 stones because its optimized faceting creates the most effective inclusion concealment. At 1 carat, the compact face-up area further reduces inclusion visibility. Each SI1 stone should be evaluated individually, but the round brilliant gives you the best odds among all shapes.
Look for a 1 carat round SI1 lab grown diamond with white or transparent inclusions rather than dark carbon spots. Inclusions positioned off-center or near the girdle are preferable to those centered under the table. Excellent cut quality helps further, as superior light return creates more sparkle that masks minor inclusions. Confirm the stone is eye-clean by viewing it face-up at arm's length under normal lighting.
SI1 typically saves 15% to 25% compared to VS2 at 1 carat in a round lab grown diamond. If you find an eye-clean SI1, this savings is pure value, as the on-finger result is identical to VS2. The budget freed up could fund a meaningful carat weight increase or a more elaborate ring setting. The trade-off is that SI1 requires individual evaluation rather than being a blanket eye-clean guarantee.
