1 Carat Marquise Cut SI1 Lab Grown Diamonds

Yes, many are eye-clean. The brilliant faceting is effective at masking inclusions. At 1 carat, look for SI1 marquise diamonds with inclusions away from the bowtie area and both tips. Off-center inclusions along the curves give the best chance. Also check that no tip-area inclusions create durability concerns at the vulnerable points.

Check bowtie (minimal), inclusion position (away from center and both tips), and symmetry (aligned tips, matching curves). The bowtie draws the eye. Tip inclusions create durability risk. Curve-area inclusions are least noticeable. Confirm eye-clean at arm's length.

SI1 saves 15% to 25% over VS2. Combined with the marquise's largest-face-up advantage, SI1 creates maximum visible size per dollar. If you find an eye-clean SI1 with great symmetry, the dramatic 1 carat marquise presence is preserved at a significant savings.

A 1 carat SI1 marquise natural diamond looks best in solitaire settings with V-prongs at each point, bezel settings, and halo designs. At 1 carats, the stone has good presence, so both minimalist and detailed settings work well. At SI1 clarity, inclusions noticeable under 10x magnification, sometimes visible to the naked eye depending on the cut. The two pointed ends need v-prongs for protection, and symmetry between the two halves is essential.
