FAQs

VS2 means 'Very Slightly Included 2,' with minor inclusions visible under magnification. In a 2 carat rose cut, VS2 is a risky grade. The flat bottom and transparent dome reveal inclusions that would be invisible in brilliant cuts. Many VS2 rose cuts at this size show faint inclusions visible to attentive eyes.
VS2 in a rose cut is significantly riskier than in brilliant cuts. The transparent dome acts like a magnifying glass, making inclusions more visible. At 2 carats, the enormous face-up area amplifies this effect. Some VS2 rose cuts are clean, but the percentage is lower than in any other shape. Thorough inspection is essential.
VS2 makes sense only when you can verify the specific stone's eye-clean status. The savings compared to VVS grades are meaningful at 2 carats. If the particular stone has inclusions positioned at the very edge or concealed by a dome facet junction, it may appear clean. Never buy VS2 rose cuts sight-unseen.
A 2 carat rose sits very close to the finger and appears larger per carat due to the flat base and wide spread. At VS2 clarity, minor inclusions visible under 10x magnification but not to the naked eye in most cuts. 2 carat natural diamonds are a wonderful spot and are well above the average natural diamond size. When looking for 2 carat natural diamonds, look between 1.9 to 2.2 carats so that you give yourself the best selection which will help find the best value.
