Pave stones VS vs Si1/2

[AntiqueLover]

When working with tiny accent stones, is there really going to be a visible difference between these grades?

 

[AprilBaby]

I would take the vs if it was affordable. I wouldn't drop to si2

If they are truly SI1/2 and not I1/I2 there should not be any eye visible difference. There would be a LOT more visible difference between singe and full cut.

It's important to remember that melee stones are graded by the seller- as opposed to GIA.
Therefore the answer really depends on the way the person grading the diamond did their job.
Also very important is how well cut the stones are.
Properly graded Si1-2 stones that are super well cut will look far better than poorly cut VS stones
