What SI units are used in diamond cutting?
In diamonds, the initials SI represents the term slightly included. From Wikipedia:"Slightly Included category (SI) diamonds have noticeable inclusions that are easy to very easy for a trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification. The SI category is divided into two grades; SI1 denotes a higher clarity grade than SI2. These may or may not be noticeable to the naked eye."SI, then, is not a unit used in diamond cutting.

Images of a H diamond with Si1 clarity diamond?
Hi there. While images of an actual H SI1 diamond are hard to come by on the internet, it is for good reason. Video cameras, even the most advanced ones, cannot magnify a diamond 10x to show the inclusions in the diamond, and even if it did, you may have a hard time finding where they are and what they look like anyway. So what I found was an illustration of an SI1 diamond. The link lets you actually play with different clarities and compare one to the other. The second link that I found gives you a good indication of what an "H" color diamond looks like. I would also have to congratulate you on choosing an "H SI1" because that is in the range where you get more "bang for your buck." Staying in the top of the near-colorless range and in the slightly included clarity range ensures that you get an eye-clean, face up white stone. In this situation, you can get a bigger stone for less money than if you went whiter or cleaner. Once you get any higher in clarity or color people won't notice a difference between an H SI1 and a D VVS2 to their naked eye. If youre not one of those guys that needs a D Flawless diamond just to say he has one, then save yourself the money and stick with a diamond with a quality similar to this one. So, hats off to you. Anyways, dont forget those links to get a better idea of what Im talking about.

What are quality enhanced diamonds?
Clarity enhanced diamonds are real, mined diamonds that have had their clarity/quality improved by cleaning and cloaking any visible imperfections in the diamond. Clarity enhanced diamonds are lower in price than 100% natural diamonds and therefore for every given carat weight and quality, the price will be lower. Clarity enhanced diamonds are graded after the enhancement and therefore if the diamond was originally F/SI1 and is now F/VS2, it will be priced lower as if it were still F/SI1, however will look like F/VS2.
