I recently bought a gorgeous diamond and IT SPARKLES like crazy. Its 1.26 ct I, VVS2, GIA XXX Ideal, medium blue flo, HCA score 1.3. Its really beautiful and I love it .... EXCEPT it can be very yellow in different lighting more than half the time even though face up its white outside and in stores. Its definitely something you can notice. I took a gamble on it because I've read so much that medium flo and a great cut can help mask a lower color stone.
So I've been looking at another stone and this one comes from Blue Nile. I've read mixed reports about BN and their version of "eye clean" but since I bought the above stone from them and its so pretty and sparkly, I figured I'd give it another whirl and exchange it for another with an F color. But, I need some advice because in order to do that within my budget, I needed to come down in clarity. I know really nothing about SI1's and have heard that you can find an eye clean stone. BN has told me this particular diamond already has a manager's report on file stating the diamond is eye-clean. The inclusions are limited to twinning wisps only and I've heard those are hard to see with the naked eye.
Can someone take a look at this and give your opinion.
