like people, diamonds are flawed but beautiful, but how flawed is too flawed?
i can use some help here today. my now fiance got a ring, & it's very pretty, but i wanted to stay SI1 & above. he got an SI2. it's a round cut, F, excellent cut (ex polish, vg symetry), h&a (thought i can't see it), with a twinning wisp. they have no diagram plotting out the flaws, but i can see something running around the outside of the entire stone. it's in the pavillion portion, and i can't see it from the top down, but the 4-prong setting is very open and it's easily seen at a side view. the jeweler said they only sell eye-clean stones, but maybe they mean from the top down?
1.) does the fact that i can see it all the way around mean it goes all the way through, and if so, could it break?
2.) is it worth it to go back and exchange it for a lesser color to get a better clarity or to add in a bit of money for an improved stone?
the ring is still beautiful, and sparkles like crazy in the sun, but my biggest fear is that the stone will actually crack. i really felt positive about the jeweler, and want to believe that they've sold us a quality product. they offer a buy back policy whever you wish to upgrade, so if it's not going to break i can always upgrade it down the road. i hope one of you can help me out!
