hobbies and interests jewelry makingIs a vs1 diamond better than vs2?
Then, is there a big difference between vs1 and vs2?
In terms of their definitions, there aresome difference between VS1 and VS2 Diamonds. WhileVS2 diamonds are usually eye-clean, some outliers exist,especially in larger-sized stones like 3, 4 and 5 Carat diamonds.These outliers often barely make it past the SI1 grade and containinclusions visible to the naked eye.
Keeping this in consideration, is vs2 a good diamond?
VS2 diamonds are the sweet spot for getting agood quality diamond while saving money. They havevery small inclusions that are difficult to see to the naked eye.While the inclusions are visible under 10x magnification, they areusually considered minor. Cut is most important.
According to GIA and AGS, diamonds that areconsidered Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), Very, VerySlightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2) and Very Slightly Included (VS1and VS2) are considered eye clean. On the other hand,Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) diamonds may or may not beeye clean.
