VS1 Diamonds

VS1 (Very Slightly Included 1) clarity means the diamond has minor inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification. These inclusions are typically small crystals, feathers, or pinpoints that have no effect on brilliance or structural integrity. VS1 natural diamonds are always eye-clean across every shape and are one of the most popular clarity grades for buyers balancing quality and value.

Yes, VS1 clarity is eye-clean in every diamond shape, including step cuts like emerald and asscher that tend to show clarity more openly. This makes VS1 the safe choice for any shape if you want guaranteed eye-clean quality without paying VVS or Flawless premiums. For brilliant-cut shapes, VS1 is considered a premium selection since even VS2 is typically eye-clean in those cuts.

For brilliant-cut shapes (round, oval, cushion, princess, radiant, pear, heart, marquise), VS2 is typically the better value because both VS1 and VS2 are eye-clean, and VS2 costs less. For step-cut shapes (emerald and asscher), VS1 is the safer choice because their large, transparent facets can sometimes reveal VS2-level inclusions. If you want guaranteed quality regardless of shape, VS1 covers all bases.
