I have begun to narrow down my diamond search. I am vering some diamonds for potential purchase this weekend.
I am planning on Ideal cut diamonds (0.75ct size) and around H color. However, as for clarity I am a little confused. I have decided nothing less than SI1 but nothing greater than VS1.
If I understand correctly SI1 you can see the inclusions using a 10x magnification and VS2-VS1 you can see the inclusion under 40x magnification. Well if you can''t see them with the naked eye than who cares? It seems as though you are paying extra money for something no one will ever see. In fact, once that ring goes on the finger I can almost guarantee it will never be magnified again.
Is the only "real" difference between SI1 and VS2-VS1 stones the fact that there is something you can see only through increased magnifcation?
If I view two dimaonds of similar specs and both look equally sparkly but one is SI1 and the other VS1 and there is a price difference shouldn''t I just get the SI1 diamond?
