As determined by the GIA, this diamond has been cut to allow it to reflect most light that enters. A good cut is often significantly less expensive than a very good cut and is an acceptable choice for most jewellery.

This diamond, when cut to ideal proportions, produces a warm brilliancy not found in the higher grade colours. I-colour diamonds are less expensive than other diamonds, so you can buy a larger diamond for the same price as a higher colour grade. Note: If this diamond has medium or strong blue fluorescence, its slight tint will be partially masked, making the diamond appear whiter to the eye.

The inclusions in this diamond can be visible at 10x power magnification. Inclusions in diamonds with SI grade clarity might be visible to the unaided eye. SI1 grade diamonds are not as rare as VS1 and VS2 grade diamonds, so they are less expensive and present a great value.
