When you’re searching for the perfect diamond—whether it’s for a moment that marks forever or simply to honour your own journey—you’ll likely come across terms like VVS, VS, or SI. These aren’t just technical grades; they’re part of the language that defines a diamond’s beauty. Among them, VVS clarity quietly shines as a near-perfect standard—pure, bright, and full of intention.
But what does VVS actually mean? And why should it matter when you’re choosing a lab grown diamond? Let’s take a moment to explore the emotion, meaning, and value behind this sparkling clarity—and why Ivana Jewels believes that VVS clarity is where brilliance meets balance.
What Does Clarity Mean in Diamonds?
Every diamond has a story—born of intense pressure and heat, whether deep within the earth or in a cutting-edge lab. Along the way, tiny marks are left behind—called inclusions or blemishes. Clarity refers to how many (or how few) of these natural quirks exist in the stone.
These tiny imperfections don’t always affect a diamond’s beauty to the naked eye, but they do add to its uniqueness—and influence its value. Like freckles on a face, they’re part of the diamond’s individuality. But when it comes to VVS clarity, these marks are so few and so faint, they become almost invisible—like whispers only a microscope could hear.
What Is VVS Clarity?
VVS stands for Very Very Slightly Included. It’s one of the highest clarity grades a diamond can have, meaning it has minuscule inclusions that:
-
Can’t be seen with the naked eye
-
Are incredibly difficult to spot even under 10x magnification
-
Don’t interfere with the diamond’s sparkle or light performance
There are two levels within this clarity grade:
-
VVS1: The inclusions are extremely hard to detect, even for a trained gemologist.
-
VVS2: The inclusions are still incredibly minor but may be slightly easier to see under magnification.
At Ivana Jewels, we carefully select only the most pristine VVS clarity lab grown diamonds, ensuring that each piece of jewellery radiates brilliance, ethics, and beauty—because we believe jewellery should feel as good as it looks.
VVS in Lab Grown vs Natural Diamonds
Let’s clear something up: lab grown diamonds are real diamonds—chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined ones. The only difference is their origin.
Natural VVS diamonds are incredibly rare, which makes them far more expensive. Lab grown VVS diamonds, on the other hand, offer the same purity and glow—without the heavy cost, both financially and environmentally.
That’s why today’s conscious buyer—especially the thoughtful millennial—is choosing VVS clarity lab grown diamonds:
-
They offer true value without compromise
-
They are guilt-free, sustainably sourced
-
They’re visually flawless to the eye
-
They’re ideal for everyday wear, proposals, and memory-making gifts
Why Choose VVS Clarity for Your Jewellery?
Here’s why VVS clarity feels like the sweet spot between opulence and practicality:
1. It Looks Like Perfection
When you glance down at your ring or catch the light from your earrings in the mirror, you want to see brilliance. VVS clarity ensures a diamond that looks immaculate to the eye—clear, crisp, and full of fire.
2. It’s Smart Luxury
Sure, you could go for an Internally Flawless (IF) diamond, but here’s the truth—VVS gives you nearly the same visual purity at a more accessible price. You’re not overpaying for perfection that’s only visible under a microscope.
3. It Elevates Your Statement Pieces
For larger stones—like solitaire rings or classic studs—clarity matters. A VVS diamond in these styles reflects light beautifully, bringing out the cut and craftsmanship with every sparkle.
4. It’s Thoughtful for Gifting
Whether it's a graduation, engagement, or an “I see you” gift to yourself, VVS clarity says: this is something special. It’s an investment in a piece that’s not only beautiful but meaningful.
