INTENSITY
FANCY VIVIDAs the name indicated Fancy Vivid color diamonds have very strong color saturation. The Fancy Vivid is often the most expensive intensity grade.
Clarity
VS1Very slightly included. Easier for an expert to see inclusions under 10x magnification, and generally not visible to the naked eye.
EXCELLENTHigh-quality cut with near-perfect proportions that return nearly all light that enters.
INTENSITY
FANCYThe “Fancy” intensity indicates the diamond has significant color. The shade of the color is neither light nor too intense.
Clarity
VS2Very slightly included. Easier for an expert to see inclusions under 10x magnification, and generally not visible to the naked eye; slightly more inclusions than VS1.
