1 Carat Oval Cut SI1 Diamonds

Yes, many are eye-clean. The oval's brilliant faceting is effective at concealing inclusions. At 1 carat, look for SI1 ovals where inclusions are away from the bowtie area and edges. Also check that the bowtie itself is minimal, as a prominent bowtie combined with visible inclusions creates a less appealing look.

Check two things: bowtie severity (minimal) and inclusion position (away from center and tips). The bowtie draws the eye, so inclusions there are most noticeable. Off-center, light-colored inclusions are least detectable. Confirm eye-clean at arm's length. A well-selected SI1 oval with minimal bowtie can be excellent value.

SI1 saves 15% to 25% over VS2. Combined with the oval's 20% to 30% savings over rounds, SI1 creates substantial total value. If you find an eye-clean SI1 oval with good proportions and minimal bowtie, you get a beautiful stone at a fraction of what a comparable round would cost.
