1 Carat Emerald Cut SI1 Lab Grown Diamonds

Finding an eye-clean SI1 in a 1 carat emerald cut lab grown diamond is difficult. The step-cut facets are the most transparent of any standard shape, and SI1 inclusions are often visible through the window-like faceting at this size. Some SI1 emeralds with very favorable edge inclusions may be acceptable, but eye-clean SI1 emerald cuts are uncommon. VS1 is the safer recommendation for this shape.

SI1 is generally not recommended for 1 carat emerald lab grown diamonds. The step-cut's transparent facets make concealing SI1 inclusions very challenging. The standard recommendation is VS1 for guaranteed eye-clean quality, or VS2 with individual inspection. SI1 offers savings but the emerald's transparency makes visible inclusions highly probable. If budget is tight, a smaller emerald at VS1 often looks better than a larger SI1.

If choosing an SI1 at 1 carat in an emerald lab created diamond, look for inclusions positioned near the truncated corners or edges, far from the center table. Choose white or transparent inclusions over dark ones. A three-stone setting with side stones that partially frame the center can help. Be realistic: the emerald's transparency makes most SI1 inclusions visible. Inspect carefully before committing.
