Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

IF is a strong clarity choice for a 1 carat emerald lab grown diamond. The step-cut's transparent facets let you appreciate the absence of internal inclusions more than brilliant cuts would. IF costs less than Flawless while being virtually identical, making it the best premium clarity value for the emerald's demanding transparency. At 1 carat, IF ensures the hall-of-mirrors effect reflects only pure crystal.
Both IF and VVS2 are eye-clean at 1 carat in an emerald lab grown diamond. The visual difference on the finger is zero. VVS2 saves 15% to 20% over IF. The emerald's transparent facets theoretically make higher clarity more appreciable, but VVS2 inclusions are still invisible through the step-cut at 1 carat. VVS2 is the better value for most buyers.
IF is worth choosing for a 1 carat emerald lab grown diamond when you want near-perfect internal quality that the transparent facets can showcase, or when the grading report is personally important. The emerald cut is the shape where high clarity grades are most appreciable, so IF has more justification here than in brilliant cuts. For pure on-finger beauty, VS1 delivers the same visual result.
