Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

Yes, many princess cut SI1 lab diamonds are eye-clean. The princess cut's brilliant faceting is particularly effective at masking inclusions, making it one of the best shapes for stretching clarity value. An SI1 princess cut with inclusions positioned near the edges or under a prong will often appear completely clean to the naked eye. Each stone should be individually evaluated, but princess cuts offer good odds at SI1.
When evaluating a princess cut SI1 lab grown diamond, look for stones where the inclusions are white or transparent rather than dark, and positioned off-center (near corners or edges) rather than directly under the table. The princess cut's corner facets are particularly effective at concealing inclusions. Also check that no SI1 inclusion creates a durability risk near the pointed corners, which are the most vulnerable part of the stone.
SI1 is an excellent value in princess cut lab created diamonds for buyers willing to select carefully. The price difference between SI1 and VS2 can be 15% to 25%, which is meaningful at larger carat weights. Since the princess cut's faceting gives you good odds of finding an eye-clean SI1, the savings can be redirected to a larger stone or better cut quality. The key is viewing the specific stone before purchasing.
