Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

VVS1 is excellent clarity for a heart shaped lab grown diamond, delivering near-flawless quality at less than IF or Flawless. The heart's brilliant faceting makes VVS1 completely eye-clean. The savings versus higher grades can fund finding a heart with the excellent symmetry (matching lobes, defined cleft, centered point) that defines this shape's appeal.
Yes, VVS1 saves 10% to 15% over IF with no visible difference. Both are eye-clean. In the heart shape, where symmetry is the critical beauty factor, those savings are especially well-directed. A VVS1 heart with excellent symmetry will look better than an IF heart with mediocre symmetry every time.
G or H color pairs well with VVS1. The heart's color-concentration areas (point, cleft) make color slightly more impactful than in symmetrical shapes. G/VVS1 provides near-colorless, near-flawless quality. H/VVS1 offers more value. Both deliver a heart that looks colorless and flawless on the finger.
VVS1 clarity is always eye-clean. Extremely difficult to see inclusions even under 10x magnification. The heart cut's brilliant-cut faceting helps mask minor inclusions.
