Reading this specification
At VVS2 no inclusion is visible to the unaided eye, so the premium over a lower grade buys rarity rather than appearance. If budget is the constraint, this is the first attribute most buyers should relax.
F is graded colorless, and D, E and F are not distinguishable from one another once mounted. The premium here is for rarity, not for anything a wearer will see.
A lab-grown stone of this exact specification runs about 90% below the natural equivalent. If the origin is not important to you, that is the single largest saving available on this page.
Dropping to 0.75ct saves about 55%, and the difference in visible diameter is small enough that most people cannot pick it without the two stones side by side.

How this is measured
Measured on October 29, 2026 from 198 certificated diamonds between 1 and 1.14 carat, carrying 1267 current listings across 31 retailers. Each stone with a recently confirmed price contributes the cheapest price we last saw for it, so the distribution reflects what a buyer comparing retailers would actually pay. These figures summarize many stones, so they carry the day they were measured rather than the date of any one listing.
Certificated stones with a current listed price only, and every price figure uses only prices we confirmed recently. Uncertificated inventory is excluded because its grades cannot be verified against a laboratory report.
