1 Carat Criss Cross SI2 Lab Grown Diamonds

Moderate risk of visible inclusions. The X intersection areas are somewhat more transparent. Individual evaluation essential. The geometric pattern can draw attention to shape.

Some may with favorably positioned inclusions. The X-pattern draws the eye to geometry. Eye-clean not guaranteed.

Budget option requiring evaluation. VS1 is the standard recommendation. SI2 works for buyers prioritizing the unique X-pattern character and carat size.

A 1 carat SI2 criss cross natural diamond looks best in simple solitaire prong settings and clean bezel settings that let the X pattern take center stage. At 1 carats, the stone has good presence, so both minimalist and detailed settings work well. At SI2 clarity, inclusions easily seen under magnification, may be visible to the naked eye. Avoid heavily embellished settings that compete with the stone's built-in geometric pattern. All Do Amore rings include free lifetime maintenance covering inspections, polishing, cleaning, stone tightening, rhodium plating, and resizing.
