What are SI2 clarity diamonds?

When shopping for a diamond, the clarity grade is an important factor to consider. SI2 (Slightly Included 2) is a clarity grade on the GIA Diamond Clarity Chart, which describes diamonds that have inclusions that are visible under 10x magnification.

SI2 diamonds have inclusions that may be visible to the naked eye, but are often minor and do not significantly affect the overall appearance or durability of the diamond. These inclusions may include small crystals, clouds, or feathers.

SI2 diamonds are a more affordable option compared to higher clarity grades, making them a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry. However, it's important to note that the visibility of the inclusions can vary between diamonds, so it's important to inspect the diamond in person or view detailed photos before making a purchase.

When shopping for a diamond, it's important to consider your budget and what qualities are most important to you. While SI2 diamonds are of high quality, they may not be necessary for every individual. It's important to weigh the cost of the diamond against the other 4 Cs (carat weight, color, and cut) to determine the best value for your money.
