Hi Everyone,
I have this SI1 on hold that I am considering for my upgrade:
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-f-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-370248
The rep says it should be eye clean, but a see quite a few black crystal/carbon inclusions when I rotate the diamond. I know these images are magnified a ton, so I am having a hard time imaging their real life perspective. I am a little nit picky and am wondering what opinions are regarding whether or not the inclusions would be noticeable to a picky person after the diamond is placed in a setting? My color preference is F/G, so I'm thinking I could sacrifice clarity to get the size I want within my budget, as long as my eye isn't going to be constantly drawn to visible inclusions. Do you think these would be visible at all?
Any thoughts on this diamond otherwise? It has a HCA of 0.7 and a small 55% table. I have noticed lots of PSers like small tables. Any opinions would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Edited to add: The inclusion that concerns me the most for eye visibility is located at about 2 o'clock on the rotatable picture of the diamond.
