1 Carat Asscher Cut VS2 Lab Grown Diamonds

VS2 is eye-clean in many 1 carat asschers but not all. One carat lab grown diamonds are a great starting point. The step-cut's transparent windmill-pattern facets can reveal VS2 inclusions. At 1 carat, the smaller face reduces this risk, but individual inspection is recommended. If confirmed clean, VS2 saves 10% to 15% over VS1.

Check that no inclusions are under the center table where the windmill-pattern transparency makes them most visible. Edge or corner inclusions are less detectable. White or transparent inclusions are less visible than dark ones. If unsure, VS1 is the guaranteed safe choice.

VS2 is good when you can inspect the specific stone and confirm eye-clean quality. A VS2 asscher with favorable inclusions saves money while delivering the same vintage elegance as VS1. It is a calculated value play requiring evaluation.

A 1 carat VS2 asscher natural diamond looks best in solitaire settings that showcase the Art Deco character, bezel settings, and vintage-inspired designs. At 1 carats, the stone has good presence, so both minimalist and detailed settings work well. At VS2 clarity, minor inclusions visible under 10x magnification but not to the naked eye in most cuts. The large open facets make clarity and color more visible than in brilliant-cut shapes. All Do Amore rings include free lifetime maintenance covering inspections, polishing, cleaning, stone tightening, rhodium plating, and resizing.
