1 Carat Emerald Cut VS2 Lab Grown Diamonds

VS2 is eye-clean in many 1 carat emerald cut lab grown diamonds but not all. The step-cut's transparent facets can reveal VS2 inclusions that would be hidden in a brilliant cut. At 1 carat, the emerald's smaller face reduces this risk compared to larger emeralds, but individual stone inspection is still recommended. If you find a clean VS2 emerald, it saves 10% to 15% versus VS1.

VS2 is a good choice for a 1 carat emerald lab grown diamond when you can inspect the specific stone and confirm eye-clean quality. Look for VS2 emeralds where inclusions are positioned near the edges or truncated corners rather than centered under the large table. Off-center, light-colored inclusions are less visible through the step-cut facets. VS2 is a calculated value play that requires evaluation.

Check that no inclusions are positioned centrally under the table facet, where the step-cut's transparency makes them most visible. Edge or corner inclusions are much less detectable. Confirm the stone is eye-clean face-up at arm's length under normal lighting. White or transparent inclusions are less visible than dark ones through the emerald's clear facets. If unsure, VS1 is the guaranteed safe choice.
