Hi Monk, to be perfectly honest I had no idea you were asian
I just remember reading a thread saying that many asian cultures prize clarity in a diamond over any other C because of the purity/chastity it signifies. I saw that you were very adamant about the stone being IF and thought that might be a valuable insight for you. Pure coincidence that your ethnic heritage happens to coincide. I''m half asian myself though so perhaps I paid more attention to that detail
. I still stand by my previous statement however, that if I found a well cut eye-clean SI1 asscher I would DEFINITELY consider it for economic reasons. My reasoning behind this includes monetary savings, but also the idea that we all have flaws that make us unique as do all stones at some magnification. Also, if you take the diamond to anyone for cleaning/appraising etc. knowing the inclusion plots of your particular diamond is like a thumbprint identifier to verify your diamond is in fact YOURS. JohnQuixote has some great input on eye-clean SI1s as well. Btw storm, JohnQuixote, and other PSers we asscher lovers are fortunate to have expert opinions to guide our purchases.
