Amidst the sea of information, the \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/4-cs-diamond\">4 C’s of diamond\u003C/a> quality rise as crucial players in decision-making.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">If you made yourself familiar with the intricacies of \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/lab-diamonds\">lab diamonds\u003C/a>, you’ve probably noticed the intimate connection between a diamond’s pricing and its clarity. While some diamonds have a whopping price tag, others come at a more reasonable cost. In all the confusion, one grade of clarity hits the sweet spot and stands out the most while capturing the hearts of many: VVS diamonds. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">In this blog, let’s delve deeper into the intricacies of VVS diamonds and uncover the secrets that make them truly captivating.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch6 dir=\"ltr\">Table of Content:\u003C/h6>\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"What are VVS Diamonds?\" href=\"../\">What are VVS Diamonds?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"How Do Inclusions & Blemishes Look Under a VVS Diamond?\" href=\"../\">How Do Inclusions & Blemishes Look Under a VVS Diamond?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"The Further Division of VVS Diamonds\" href=\"../\">The Further Division of VVS Diamonds\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"What to Consider When Buying VVS Diamonds?\" href=\"../\">What to Consider When Buying VVS Diamonds?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003C/ul>\r\n\u003Ch2>What are VVS Diamonds?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">A VVS diamond falls third on the list of diamond clarity charts. Before that, there are Flawless and Internally \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/flawless-diamonds-and-vvs-diamonds\">Flawless diamonds\u003C/a>, which are regarded as rare and brilliant-looking. Along with being highly radiant, they also come with a slightly higher price tag. If you are someone who is looking for luxury and sophistication at a price that doesn’t burn a deep hole in your pocket, then a VVS Diamond is the best choice for you.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">VVS stands for Very, Very Slightly Included. The term ‘VVS’ is a measure of a diamond’s clarity, as it refers to the visual appearance of a diamond and its external blemishes or internal inclusions. When a diamond is of VVS clarity, it has very small inclusions that are difficult to notice even when viewed under 10x magnification.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/what-is-a-vvs-diamond/image_1.jpg\" alt=\"Diamond Clarity Charts\" width=\"1152\" height=\"1066\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes, VVS diamonds are also called eye-clean diamonds because you are unable to spot any blemishes or inclusions with your naked eye. On the clarity \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/what-is-diamond-grading\">grading \u003C/a>scale, VVS diamonds fall one step away from an internally flawless diamond. Hence, VVS diamonds, with their characteristics of having very few inclusions and blemishes, enjoy splendid-looking status.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">How Do Inclusions & Blemishes Look in a VVS Diamond?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp>VVS diamonds have inclusions and blemishes in very minute versions. Inclusions look like pinpoints, needles, internal graining, or clouds, while blemishes are on the surface and in the form of chips, cavities, or feathers.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2>The Further Division of VVS Diamonds\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Just like in other \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/know-the-best-diamond-clarity\">diamond clarity\u003C/a> grades, the VVS diamond range is further divided into two parts: the VVS1 and the VVS2. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">What are VVS1 Diamonds?\u003C/p>\r\n\u003C/li>\r\n\u003C/ul>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The VVS1 diamond ranks higher than VVS2 on the clarity chart. The inclusions in a VVS1 diamond are not visible even under 10x magnification and can only be detected if placed under a powerful microscope.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n\u003Cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">What are VVS2 Diamonds?\u003C/p>\r\n\u003C/li>\r\n\u003C/ul>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The VVS2 diamonds are graded under the second degree of the VVS clarity chart. Just like VVS1 diamonds, VVS2 are also graded on inclusions' number, size, and location. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Now, you must think about how a diamond falls under the category of VVS1. For that, graders watch for the size of inclusions; if they are larger in size and can be seen under 10x magnification, then the diamond gets categorized lower than VVS1.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/what-is-a-vvs-diamond/image_2.jpg\" alt=\"Further Division of VVS Diamonds\" width=\"1152\" height=\"940\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Along with that, graders also look for the number of inclusions in a diamond. The more inclusions and blemishes, the lower the grade the diamond falls under. Lastly, the graders also observe where the inclusions are located. If they are found directly beneath the diamond’s table area, they will be more prominent than those present in the pavilion or crown facets. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The prime difference between VVS1 and VVS2 diamonds is that in the VVS2 diamonds, the inclusions are visible from the crown when inspected at under 10x magnification. But to the naked eye, there will be no difference between a VVS1 and a VVS2 diamond. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">What to Consider When Buying VVS Diamonds?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp>One mistake that people make while \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/how-to-buy-diamonds\">buying a diamond\u003C/a> is that they eye a stone that is simply too high on the grading scale. That is because they want to invest in a diamond of the highest quality, though it comes with a hefty price tag. In terms of clarity, especially when viewed by an untrained eye, there is little to no difference between an IF and a VVS diamond. Hence, opting to buy a VVS diamond is a smarter choice because it will not only come at a price that is not too heavy on your wallet but will also give you just the right amount of sparkle and fire. But there are a few things that you should keep in mind while looking for a VVS diamond.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/what-is-a-vvs-diamond/image_3.jpg\" alt=\"Diamond Shapes\" width=\"1152\" height=\"748\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds\">SHOP LAB DIAMONDS\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">When you are looking for a diamond of a specific cut, shape, or size, it becomes important to inspect it closely. In step-cut diamonds, which have large, rectangular facets, like \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/asscher-cut-diamond\">Asscher \u003C/a>or \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut-diamond\">emerald cut diamonds\u003C/a>, inclusions, and blemishes appear prominently because the open facets create transparent and clear spaces that highlight the clarity and color of a diamond over its sparkle. Therefore, it is important to inspect where the inclusions or blemishes are located on such shapes of diamonds. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The last and one of the most important pieces of advice is to opt for a diamond with the clarity that you desire. Whether it’s a stone that is in the VVS range or the VS range, you should be comfortable with your purchase.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">What is the Price of VVS Diamonds?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to buying a VVS diamond, you can expect it to be less expensive than diamonds of higher clarity grades. Also, if you choose to buy a lab diamond instead of a mined one, it will help you save heaps of money. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Choosing a VVS diamond from Friendly Diamonds is an easy and breezy task. Although there are other grades apart from the clarity that affects the price of a diamond, a VVS diamond of 0.50 carat starts in the $250-$300 price range. The prices vary as per the changes in the carat, color, and quality of the cut.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>Since picking a lab diamond for an \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/engagement-rings\">engagement ring\u003C/a> or any other \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/fine-jewelry\">type of jewelry\u003C/a> is a journey of many tiny decisions, the end result should be a jewel that invokes a feeling of admiration, sparkle, and sophistication. Thus, choosing the right clarity in lab diamonds becomes the first and foremost task. By learning in-depth about the interesting features of a VVS diamond and also focusing on how to buy one, you will surely gain insights into finding the best pick for you and your loved one.\u003C/p>",null,"Thomas Cooper","Decoding Diamond Clarity What Is a VVS Diamond","In this blog, let’s delve deeper into the intricacies of VVS diamonds and uncover the secrets that make them truly captivating.","what is a vvs diamond, vvs diamond","Diamond Guide||https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/category/diamond-guide",899,0,"2023-12-29","2023-12-31T19:06:30.000000Z","Diamond Guide","diamond-guide","Friday, Dec 29 2023",[29,35,41,47],{"id":30,"image":31,"title":32,"slug":33,"created_at":34},624,"https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/25-10-23/724392968855bbdd789a14d24eb39cfde8fd9979.jpg","The Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry Sale You Can’t Miss","exclusive-jewelry-sale","2025-10-23",{"id":36,"image":37,"title":38,"slug":39,"created_at":40},623,"https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/25-10-15/efb9cf77cacdc2a831458a572bb8092e8c2663f7.jpg","20th Anniversary Jewelry and Gift Ideas That Celebrate Your Journey","20th-anniversary-jewelry-and-gift-ideas","2025-10-15",{"id":42,"image":43,"title":44,"slug":45,"created_at":46},622,"https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/25-10-08/980695a5c7ab2b80c70b9d3535a7e3eeca1ce06a.jpg","The Halloween Gift Idea Guide You Didn’t Know You Needed","halloween-gift-idea-2025","2025-10-08",{"id":48,"image":49,"title":50,"slug":51,"created_at":52},621,"https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/25-10-03/a2f4c4362ba1f2b406f9f89a6d82d53495136f02.jpg","The Secret Glow of Hidden Halo Oval Engagement Rings","hidden-halo-oval-engagement-ring-special","2025-10-03",{"id":54,"title":55,"slug":56,"image":57},200,"White Gold Stud Earrings For Teens, Twenties, Professionals & Beyond","white-gold-stud-earrings-for-all-ages","https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/23-12-29/5c497e048f24495ce4c60d75f6526c8786723f74.jpg",{"id":59,"title":60,"slug":61,"image":62},197,"Necklace Lookbook: Styling Inspiration with Different Types of Necklaces","different-types-of-necklaces","https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/23-12-27/bdf0b28168d9ad258830e8918adde5d5f2986767.jpg",[64,70,76,82],{"id":65,"cat_id":7,"image":66,"title":67,"slug":68,"short_desc":69,"category_name":25,"category_slug":26},306,"https://inventory.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fdl/backend_blogs/24-05-15/9b5a07c84a13e7945d520f3dd0a675c1c821a0fa.jpg","Busting Myths for Lab Grown Diamonds","myths-for-lab-grown-diamonds","Not every diamond myth is true, read on to find out what exactly is true!",{"id":71,"cat_id":7,"image":72,"title":73,"slug":74,"short_desc":75,"category_name":25,"category_slug":26},149,"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/backend_blogs/23-09-08/4ac17632e97f4bd58b6802caf4764924d6b8c057.jpg","The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Diamond Clarity","know-the-best-diamond-clarity","The clarity quest: Unearthing the secrets of exquisite lab diamonds.",{"id":77,"cat_id":7,"image":78,"title":79,"slug":80,"short_desc":81,"category_name":25,"category_slug":26},150,"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/backend_blogs/23-09-12/069432ed6bd1bdb896801a13da4a5285390a6320.jpg","Cubic Zirconia Vs.
