''Most good jewellery is graded as VVS1 or VVS2, very very slightly included. ''

Right Matatora. We see it differently due to the standards in practice here. That comment is not made with GIA, AGS or HRD standards in mind. ''Most jewelry'' out in the wide world is graded by softer labs, independent sellers, or not at all.

and also from a UK point of view where the main sales are of tiny tiny diamonds by US standards... 0.1-0.5ct being your average sales over here.

so things like clarity do go up in the stakes.

tho most of the main stream high street jewellers you are pushed to find VS or above diamonds, tho the independants have the higher clarity rocks for around the same price.

When you say large stones, how large are you talking? Is 3 carats considered large?

No desire to rain on your parade, but no, that is not big. Not unless it is pink

Garry, was the PINK comment a hint....??
