A diamond cut of high brilliance that represents the top 15% of diamond quality based on cut.This type of diamond cut has nearly as much light as the excellent cut, but with some darker areas in the center or around the edges.

Diamonds that are D in color have absolutely no trace of color (colorless). Because of its extreme rarity and incomparable brilliance, a D grade diamond is the most expensive and valuable color grade.

VS1 stands for Very Slightly Included. Diamonds of VS1 grading contain only minor inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye, and require 10x magnification to be visible. These diamonds offer an exceptional value, and are slightly of better value than VS2 diamonds.
