5 Carat Hexagon SI1 Diamonds

SI1 inclusions are likely visible to the naked eye in a 5 carat hexagon. The step-cut faceting acts as an open window into the stone, and at this size, SI1 inclusions can be noticeable. Careful selection of the specific stone is essential to find one that faces up acceptably.

SI1 offers significant savings but requires a careful, stone-by-stone approach for hexagon cuts. The moderately revealing step facets mean inclusions are more apparent than in brilliant shapes. If you choose SI1, look for stones where inclusions are positioned near the edges rather than under the table.

SI1 clarity is in many brilliant cuts eye-clean in hexagon cut diamonds. Inclusions noticeable under 10x magnification, sometimes visible to the naked eye depending on the cut. At 5 carats, the larger face can make inclusions slightly more visible than at smaller sizes. The hexagon cut's geometric faceting can reveal inclusions more readily.
