5 Carat Criss Cross SI1 Diamonds

SI1 (Slightly Included 1) means the diamond has noticeable inclusions under 10x magnification. At 5 carats, some SI1 inclusions may be visible to the naked eye depending on their size and location. The criss cross cut's woven facet pattern provides moderate concealment, which can help mask inclusions positioned away from the center.

Some SI1 stones can be eye-clean in a 5 carat criss cross diamond, particularly when inclusions are positioned near the edges where the woven facet pattern conceals them most effectively. However, careful inspection is essential at this size. Review the diamond's certificate and imagery to confirm the inclusion placement before purchasing.

When looking for 5 carat natural diamonds, look between 4.8 to 5.5 carats so that you give yourself the best selection which will help find the best value. Value is very important in this carat weight range. Searching within this range across different SI1 clarity options gives you the widest selection to compare cut quality, clarity grades, and overall value. A well-chosen diamond with these characteristics at the lower end of this range can look identical to one at the exact 5 carat mark while costing less.
