1 Carat Emerald Cut VS2 Diamonds

VS2 is eye-clean in many 1 carat emerald natural diamonds but not all. One carat diamonds have been the average size for many decades. The step-cut's transparent facets can reveal VS2 inclusions that would be hidden in a brilliant cut. At 1 carat, the smaller face reduces this risk versus larger emeralds, but individual inspection is still recommended.

VS2 is good when you can inspect the specific stone and confirm eye-clean quality. Look for VS2 emeralds where inclusions are near the edges or truncated corners rather than centered under the large table. Off-center, light-colored inclusions are less visible. VS2 is a calculated value play that requires evaluation.

Check that no inclusions are centered under the table facet where the step-cut's transparency makes them most visible. Edge or corner inclusions are much less detectable. Confirm eye-clean face-up at arm's length under normal lighting. White or transparent inclusions are less visible than dark ones. If unsure, VS1 is the guaranteed safe choice.
