VS1 Diamonds With Exceptional Eye-Clean Clarity


Blue Nile's VS1 diamond collection features stones with very slight inclusions that remain invisible to the naked eye during normal viewing. Each VS1 clarity diamond undergoes professional grading that confirms inclusions require magnification to detect, ensuring a beautiful appearance for everyday wear. Available in round, princess, cushion, oval, and all popular shapes, these diamonds balance clarity quality with smart value. VS1 diamonds pair beautifully with solitaire settings, halo engagement rings, and pavé designs where clarity visibility matters most. The grade sits just below VVS2 and well above VS2, offering the sweet spot between perfection and practicality for most buyers. A VS1 diamond ring provides confidence in quality without paying premium prices for imperceptible clarity improvements, making this grade popular among informed shoppers seeking maximum value.

Style Tip: Choose a VS1 diamond for bezel or prong settings where the stone remains highly visible, maximizing the value of eye-clean clarity without concern for inclusion visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does VS1 clarity mean?

VS1 stands for "Very Slightly Included 1," indicating very minor inclusions visible only under 10x magnification. These diamonds appear flawless to the naked eye, offering exceptional clarity that satisfies most buyers' standards for beauty and quality.

Is VS1 clarity good for an engagement ring?

Yes. VS1 clarity is excellent for engagement rings, providing eye-clean appearance that looks identical to higher grades during normal viewing. This makes VS1 diamonds smart choices for those prioritizing visible beauty over microscopic perfection.

What's the difference between VS1 and VS2 diamonds?

VS1 diamonds have slightly fewer or smaller inclusions than VS2 stones. Both grades typically appear eye-clean, though VS1 offers extra assurance of clarity, especially in larger carat weights where inclusions become more visible.

How does VS1 compare to VVS2 clarity?

VVS2 diamonds have inclusions that are more difficult to see under magnification than VS1 stones. However, both appear flawless to the naked eye, making VS1 the better value since the clarity difference isn't visible during normal wear.

Are VS1 diamonds eye-clean?

Yes. VS1 clarity diamonds are consistently eye-clean across all shapes and sizes. The inclusions are so minor that they remain invisible without magnification, providing the appearance of perfect clarity for viewing and wear.

Should I choose VS1 or SI1 clarity?

VS1 offers guaranteed eye-clean appearance, while SI1 may show visible inclusions depending on stone and placement. Choose VS1 for confidence in clarity, especially in emerald cut or asscher shapes where inclusions show more easily.

Does VS1 clarity affect diamond sparkle?

No. VS1 inclusions are too small to impact light performance or sparkle. The diamond's brilliance depends on cut quality rather than clarity grade, so a well-cut VS1 diamond sparkles just as beautifully as higher clarity grades.
