Full details
A round brilliant is faceted for brilliance and sparkle, and at 0.52 carats this one measures about 5.20–5.22 mm across. F is in the colorless range (D–F): it will face up icy white, in white metal or yellow gold. VS1 inclusions are minor and usually need 10× magnification to see. In a round of 0.52 carats that typically means eye-clean, though the grade does not say where the inclusion sits. It suits almost any setting: a classic four- or six-prong solitaire, a halo, or a three-stone ring.
