The key is the nature of the inclusions, the number and where they are. You really have to view the inclusions under a scope to see how comfortable you are with the stone. I wouldn't pass on it because of it. Just make sure it is a GIA cert or AGS diamond quality grading document to start.

Pyramid Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,910 Last Post: 6/6/2009 Member Since: 11/10/2002	Thank you for your reply. I was always led to believe that surface breaking inclusions were in the Imperfect grades I1, I2 & I3. How long has this been allowed in an SI1 graded diamond?

Rook Cut Rock Total Posts: 294 Last Post: 2/9/2004 Member Since: 10/4/2002	I have seen vs stones with surface breaking inclusions. Just make sure that the jeweler setting it has insurance if it breaks. After that I would not worry about it any more than any other inclusion. Hope this helps! Rook.
