The premium is more painful on natural diamonds than on lab-grown ones.
Step up to VS1 only when the VS2 stone in front of you has an inclusion you can see, or when you want the higher grade written down.
A VS2 with a pinpoint at the edge is a quieter buy than a VS1 with a crystal under the table.
Filter VS2 and better, then upgrade one stone at a time. Carat Mate ships the certified loose diamond and its lab report to United States addresses. Prices on the site are in USD. Wrong-item returns may be considered within 3 days of delivery, subject to review.
