In the diamond world, GIA is generally regarded as the most stringent and prestigious grading laboratory. An "I" color or "VVS2" clarity grade from GIA is often held to a higher standard than the same grade from other labs. Why this Stone is a "Top-Tier" Contender GIA Certification: GIA is the "gold standard." Their grading for Natural Diamonds is conservative, meaning a GIA I color is almost guaranteed to face up white, and a VVS2 is practically flawless to anyone without a laboratory-grade microscope. The "I" Color Logic: In a brilliant Heart shape, the "I" color is the perfect efficiency point. VVS2 Clarity: For a 1.52ct heart, VVS2 is exceptionally clean. Heart shapes have a "point" and "lobes" where inclusions can sometimes hide, but at VVS2, there simply aren't any inclusions large enough to worry about. The stone will be "crystal clear." The 1.52ct I-VVS2 GIA Heart is a "safe" and "prestigious" investment. It’s large enough to be a showstopper, white enough to look traditional in any metal (including Platinum), and carries the most respected certificate in the industry. A quick tip for the setting: Because this is a GIA "I" color, you can easily set this in Platinum or White Gold and it will look icy white. Important Information for Buyers: 1.
