Very, Very Slightly Included 2 (VVS2) diamonds fall into the premium segment of rare diamonds, representing the top 1%. No visible inclusions can be detected with the naked eye in any diamond shape, and even under magnification, spotting the inclusions that qualify a diamond as VVS2 requires years of training. Common inclusions include pinpoints, clouds, feathers, and naturals. Among premium clarity diamonds, we recommend VVS2 for its optimal balance of quality and value. Keep in mind that the premiums for diamonds start at this clarity range because these diamonds are free from crystal inclusions.
A VVS2 diamond, or Very, Very Slightly Included 2, contains minuscule inclusions that are only visible under 10x magnification by a skilled gemologist. The naked eye cannot detect any imperfections.
When considering a VVS2 diamond versus a VVS1 diamond, note that VVS1 diamonds have a higher rarity, resulting in a significant premium. However, since neither diamond shows visible inclusions, opting for a VVS2 diamond can save you money without compromising on appearance. The primary difference lies in 1 or 2 microscopic inclusions, and they look identical side by side. VVS2 diamonds maintain their sparkle, unlike SI1/SI2 diamonds and lower grades. If clarity is crucial and you don’t want to see inclusions in your engagement ring, aim for the VVS2 or VS1 range. This allows you to focus on other factors like cut, color, and carat without overspending.
