SI2 Diamonds

SI2 diamonds — common questions

Is a SI2 diamond eye-clean?

Sometimes — it varies. Some SI2 stones are eye-clean, others show a visible inclusion, so SI2 is best chosen stone-by-stone with the image and certificate in hand.

What does SI2 clarity mean?

SI2 means 'slightly included, second degree' — inclusions are easier to see under magnification and can sometimes be visible to the naked eye.

Is SI2 clarity good value?

SI2 stretches a budget furthest — the trade-off is that you should review each stone, since eye-cleanliness is not guaranteed.
