1 Carat SI1 Diamonds

A 1 carat SI1 natural diamond has inclusions noticeable under 10x magnification that may or may not be visible to the naked eye. One carat diamonds have been the average size for many decades. At 1 carat, some SI1 stones are eye-clean while others are not, so each stone should be evaluated individually before purchasing.

Yes, many 1 carat SI1 diamonds are eye-clean, particularly in brilliant-cut shapes like round, oval, and cushion. The key factors are the type, size, and location of the inclusions. An SI1 with a small white crystal near the edge will be eye-clean, while one with a dark inclusion centered under the table may not. Brilliant-cut shapes offer the best chance of an eye-clean SI1.

Brilliant-cut shapes are the best match for SI1 clarity at 1 carat in natural diamonds. Round, oval, cushion, princess, pear, and radiant cuts all disperse light in ways that help conceal minor inclusions. Avoid pairing SI1 with step-cut shapes (emerald and asscher) at 1 carat, as their large, transparent facets make SI1 inclusions more likely to be visible.
