1.5 Carat Round Lab Grown Diamond D VVS1 vs 1.5 Carat Round Lab Grown Diamond

Both are 1.5 carat round lab grown diamonds with Excellent cuts, IGI reports and about 7.4 mm spread, so on the finger they look nearly identical. The D VVS1 stone is the top of the grading scale and appeals to buyers who want the best paper grade and the reassurance of near-flawless clarity. The F VS1 stone is the smarter buy for most people: F is still colorless and VS1 is normally eye-clean in a round, so the visible difference is negligible while the stone leaves more room in the setting budget. Reviewers and owners consistently say clarity above VS is invisible in a well-cut round; the real differences are cut quality and the certificate, which both share here.

• Choose the D VVS1 diamond if you want the highest color and clarity grades IGI issues and the peace of mind that comes with a near-flawless stone.
• Choose the F VS1 diamond if you want a colorless, eye-clean 1.5 carat round and would rather put the difference into the setting or band.
