About Cut This is the best cut grade assigned by GIA (to Round shapes only) producing the maximum sparkle in a diamond. An excellent (or AGS Ideal) cut diamond has optimal proportions as determined by GIA and thus reflects the maximum light producing the greatest brilliance and scintillation.

About Color This grade of diamond has a minor tint that is barely noticeable especially when mounted. I-color diamond is still in the near-colorless range. In yellow gold, I-color diamonds face-up colorless. Additionally, medium or strong blue fluorescence gives an I-color diamond whiter appearance.

About Clarity The inclusions in this Slightly Included diamond can be visible at 10x power magnification. SI1 characteristics usually are not visible to the unaided eye face-up. SI1 grade diamonds are not as rare as VS and VVS grade diamonds, hence they are less expensive and offer a great value.
