Oval Cut SI1 Diamonds

Yes, many are eye-clean. The oval's brilliant faceting is effective at concealing inclusions. Look for SI1 ovals where inclusions are positioned away from the bowtie area and edges rather than centered under the table. 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 and inclusion visibility. The bowtie area draws the eye, so inclusions there are most noticeable. Look for off-center, light-colored inclusions. Confirm eye-clean status face-up at arm's length. A well-selected SI1 oval with minimal bowtie can be an excellent value.

SI1 saves 15% to 25% over VS2. Combined with the oval's inherent 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.
