Why VVS Clarity Diamonds from Our Spotlight Collection Are Worth the Splurge
As a third-generation diamond expert, I've dedicated my career to helping clients discover extraordinary gems that capture both heart and value. VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) clarity diamonds represent the pinnacle of diamond perfection - these rare stones contain minimal inclusions that are virtually invisible even under 10x magnification.
I've curated our Spotlight Collection at Mike Nekta New York to showcase these exceptional VVS clarity diamonds. Through years of experience, I've learned that clarity plays a crucial role in a diamond's brilliance and long-term value. When light enters a VVS diamond, it travels unobstructed through the crystal structure, creating that coveted sparkle that turns heads.
These pristine gems offer:
- Exceptional brilliance from minimal inclusions
- Investment-grade quality that maintains value
- Near-perfect clarity visible to the naked eye
- Enhanced durability due to fewer internal stress points
I invite you to experience the remarkable difference of VVS clarity diamonds in person.

Understanding VVS Clarity Diamonds
VVS clarity diamonds represent exceptional purity. These rare gems contain inclusions so minute that even experts struggle to spot them under 10x magnification. The VVS grade splits into two categories:
- VVS1: Inclusions visible only to a skilled grader
- VVS2: Slightly more noticeable inclusions, yet still nearly impossible to detect
Clarity Scale Perspective
To understand where VVS diamonds stand in terms of clarity, here's a breakdown of the clarity scale:
- Flawless (FL)
- Internally Flawless (IF)
- VVS1 & VVS2
- VS1 & VS2
- SI1 & SI2
- I1, I2 & I3
Only about 10% of all diamonds achieve VVS clarity, making these stones truly special. Their near-perfect clarity creates an uninterrupted path for light, resulting in exceptional brilliance.
When examining VVS diamonds, their fire and sparkle stand out dramatically - light dances through these stones with remarkable intensity, creating a mesmerizing display that instantly catches the eye.
The pristine nature of VVS diamonds makes them ideal centerpieces for high-end jewelry designs, particularly in settings where the stone's clarity becomes a focal point.
The Sparkle Factor: Why Clarity Matters
Let me share what makes VVS diamonds truly exceptional when it comes to sparkle. Internal inclusions act like tiny barriers inside a diamond, disrupting the path of light. Each inclusion creates a detour for light rays, reducing the stone's ability to return light to your eyes.
VVS clarity diamonds shine with unmatched brilliance because they have minimal internal obstacles. Light enters these stones and travels through them almost unimpeded, creating that mesmerizing dance of light we call sparkle.
I've seen countless clients gasp when comparing VVS diamonds side-by-side with lower clarity stones. The difference is striking:
- SI clarity diamonds show visible dark spots under normal viewing
- VS clarity diamonds display subtle shadows under close inspection
- VVS clarity diamonds reveal pure, pristine brilliance
The magic happens when light hits a VVS diamond's facets. With fewer inclusions to interfere, these stones maximize their light performance, producing intense fire and scintillation that catches every eye in the room.
Spotlight Collection: Showcasing Pristine Brilliance
I created the Mike Nekta New York Spotlight Collection to celebrate the raw beauty of VVS clarity diamonds. Each piece embodies my commitment to design excellence through meticulous stone selection and innovative settings that maximize brilliance.
Halo Engagement Rings
Our signature Halo Engagement Rings feature VVS center stones elevated by delicate micropavé halos. The pristine clarity of these diamonds allows light to dance freely through the stone, creating a mesmerizing display of fire and scintillation.
Eternity Necklace Series
The Eternity Necklace series showcases VVS diamonds in minimalist settings, letting their natural radiance take center stage. I deliberately chose bezel settings to protect these precious stones while maintaining their exceptional light performance.
Lotus Ring
My inspiration comes from nature's perfect geometries. The Lotus Ring demonstrates this philosophy with its petal-like arrangement of VVS diamonds, each precisely positioned to catch and reflect light from multiple angles.
Every piece in the Spotlight Collection features thoughtfully engineered settings that lift the diamonds slightly above their metal foundations, allowing maximum light interaction and enhancing their inherent brilliance.
Investment Value of VVS Clarity Diamonds
I've seen many clients make wise investment choices with VVS clarity diamonds. These exceptional stones maintain their value remarkably well, often increasing in value over time due to their inherent rarity and consistent market demand.
VVS diamonds are a smart investment choice for three key reasons:
- Natural Scarcity: Less than 10% of natural diamonds achieve VVS clarity, making them increasingly valuable as global diamond supplies diminish
- Market Stability: High-clarity diamonds have historically shown strong price stability during economic fluctuations
- Generational Value: VVS diamonds retain their pristine appearance for generations, making them ideal heirloom pieces
The durability of VVS diamonds adds significant value to their investment potential. These stones resist wear and maintain their brilliance through decades of daily wear, unlike lower clarity diamonds that may show visible inclusions over time.
Our Spotlight Collection pieces feature VVS diamonds specifically selected for both their immediate visual impact and long-term investment potential. Each piece represents a blend of artistic design and strategic value preservation - an approach that has earned trust from collectors and investors alike.
Caring for Your VVS Clarity Diamond Jewelry
I've spent years advising my clients on proper diamond care, and I can't stress enough how crucial maintenance is for preserving your VVS diamond's exceptional brilliance. Here's my proven care routine for keeping these precious stones at their sparkling best:
Daily Care Essentials:
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your jewelry after each wear
- Store pieces separately in fabric-lined boxes to prevent scratching
- Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or applying cosmetics
Professional Cleaning Schedule:
- Schedule deep cleaning every 6 months
- Request ultrasonic cleaning for VVS stones
- Have settings checked for security during each visit
At-Home Cleaning Method:

- Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush

Warning Signs to Watch:
- Loose settings

These premium stones deserve premium care. I've seen VVS diamonds maintain their remarkable clarity for generations when properly maintained. A well-cared-for VVS diamond from our Spotlight Collection will continue to captivate with its pristine brilliance for years to come.
