1 Carat SI1 Lab Grown Diamonds

A 1 carat SI1 lab created diamond has inclusions that are noticeable under 10x magnification and may or may not be visible to the naked eye. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds came around. At 1 carat, some SI1 stones are eye-clean while others are not, so each stone should be evaluated individually before purchasing.

Yes, many 1 carat SI1 lab grown diamonds are eye-clean, particularly in brilliant-cut shapes like round, oval, and cushion. The key factors are the type, size, and location of the inclusions. An SI1 with a small white crystal near the edge of the stone will be eye-clean, while one with a dark inclusion centered under the table may not be. At 1 carat, brilliant-cut shapes offer the best chance of an eye-clean SI1.

Brilliant-cut shapes are the best match for SI1 clarity at 1 carat in lab diamonds. Round, oval, cushion, princess, pear, and radiant cuts all disperse light in ways that help conceal minor inclusions. Avoid pairing SI1 clarity with step-cut shapes (emerald and asscher) at 1 carat, as their large, transparent facets make SI1 inclusions more likely to be visible to the naked eye.
