Hello all,
I am at my witt''s end for purchasing a diamond online. I have come up with two candidates for your approval. And I need to make a decision by today. My biggest issue is the clarity. All VS2 inclusions that I find online are crystal, cloud, or cloud feather. Can I buy a stone with these types of inclusions, sight un-seen, with any confidence? I know VS2 means that I will most likely not see anything with my naked eye, but I don''t trust that the "cloud" will not hinder light return. Please give me your honest thoughts on this matter.
These are the two stones that I am considering...
$989
round brilliant
44 pt.
excellent polish
excellent symmetry
VS2 clarity -- cloud,feather
F color
no fluorescence
4.98mm diameter
60% depth
57.4% table
34.1 degree crown angle
40.9 degree pavillion angle
0.9% culet
1.4% girdle (faceted)
$1084
round brilliant
43 pt.
very good polish
very good symmetry
VS2 clarity -- crystal
E color
no fluorescence
4.91mm diameter
59.7% depth
57.6% table
33.3 degree crown angle
40.5 degree pavillion angle
1.1% culet
1.7% girdle (faceted)
My fiance tells me that she is willing to forego "fire" (color sparkle) to get more "scintilation" (white sparkle). I realize that 0.4ct diamonds are somewhat trivial, but I look forward to whatever advice you can offer me. Thank you.
