- Is D color worth it over E or F?
- D is the highest color grade, but E and F are also colorless and look the same to the eye once set. Choose D if you want the top grade on paper; otherwise E or F puts more into size or cut.
- Is VS1 eye-clean?
- In a round brilliant, VS1 inclusions are minor and usually visible only under 10x magnification. The faceting hides small inclusions well, so most VS1 rounds look clean without a loupe.
- How does it compare with D VVS2?
- VVS2 has fewer and smaller inclusions, but both are invisible without magnification. The visual difference is negligible; VVS2 mainly buys a higher clarity grade on the certificate.
- What does IGI certification mean?
- IGI is an independent lab that grades color, clarity, cut and carat and issues a report. It is widely used for lab grown diamonds, though its grading is generally considered less strict than GIA's.
- What is included?
- The diamond is sold loose with its IGI certificate. A setting, ring or pendant mount is not included and must be bought or made separately.
- Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and optical properties as a mined diamond, and only a lab instrument can tell them apart.
