Emerald Cut SI1 Lab Grown Diamonds

Finding an eye-clean SI1 emerald cut lab grown diamond is challenging. The step-cut's transparent facets reveal inclusions more openly than any brilliant-cut shape. SI1 inclusions are often visible through the emerald's large, window-like table facet. Some SI1 emeralds with very favorably positioned inclusions near the edges may be acceptable, but eye-clean SI1 emerald cuts are the exception rather than the rule.

If considering an SI1 emerald cut lab created diamond, look for stones where inclusions are positioned near the truncated corners or along the edges rather than under the center table. Choose white or transparent inclusions over dark ones. Realize that the emerald's transparent facets make concealment much harder than in brilliant cuts. A three-stone setting where side stones partially overlap the center can help mask edge inclusions.

SI1 is generally not the recommended clarity for emerald cut lab grown diamonds. The step-cut facets are too transparent for SI1 inclusions to be reliably hidden. The standard recommendation for emerald cuts is VS1 for guaranteed eye-clean quality, or VS2 with individual stone inspection. SI1 offers the most savings but carries the highest risk of visible inclusions in this particularly transparent shape.
