Our take on the Brilliant Round 1.16 Ideal H SI1

This is a VRAI lab-grown round brilliant diamond, about 1.16 carats, graded Ideal cut, H color and SI1 clarity. VRAI is known for selling lab-grown diamonds direct, which keeps prices well below natural stones of the same grade. The best new price is $1,230 at VRAI as of November 5, 2026, and two stores list it new. That is a low price for a 1.16-carat Ideal-cut H/SI1 stone, though it is listed as an employee store item, personal use only, final sale.

Questions and answers

Is this a good price for a 1.16-carat lab-grown diamond?
At $1,230 at VRAI as of November 5, 2026, it is inexpensive for an Ideal-cut H/SI1 stone over one carat. Comparable lab-grown rounds often run higher at retail.
Is SI1 clarity good enough?
SI1 is eye-clean in most round brilliants, but inclusions can be visible up close. Ask to see the IGI report and a magnified image before buying.
What does Ideal cut mean here?
Ideal is the top cut grade, meaning proportions and symmetry are tuned for maximum light return. It is the grade that matters most for sparkle.
Can I return it?
No. The listing says final sale, so confirm the stone suits you before ordering.
How does it compare to a natural diamond?
It looks the same to the eye and costs far less, but lab-grown stones resell for much less than natural ones. Buy it to wear, not to invest.
When is the best time to buy?
Lab-grown diamond prices have been falling, so waiting rarely costs much. Watch for VRAI promotions, but this final-sale price is already low.
