Hi, looking to buy an engagement ring for a platinum setting. Have been offered a princess cut diamond. Seems pretty good from most measurements (see below) but has a comment which I'd like some advice on please. Gia certificate is .77 carat, F colour, IF, VG polish/symmetry, depth 73%, table 72%, thick girdle and no fluoresence. The comment on the bottom of the report is "minor details of polish are present  ". What does this comment mean and should I be worried. Many thanks for any help.Marty |

""minor details of polish are present" That's just what kept the diamond from having a flawless clarity grade. Joker.... Terry Murray (AKA: The Joker) |

----------------But if GIA called it an IF, the comment must be about the Polish/Symmetry. Calling an expert to educate us newbies  Todd(aka Ricardo, aka Cowboy) |

Info from the GIA Diamond Grading Class: FL: No blemishes or inclusions under 10x (disregard extra facets not visible face-up; naturals confined to and neither thickening nor distorting the girdle; and internal graining which is not reflective, white, or colored, and does not affect transparency) IF: No inclusions, and only insignificant blemishes under 10x Blemishes: Abrasion - tiny chips along facet junctions, producing white fuzzy lines instead of shart facet edges Extra Facet - a facet placed without regard for symmetry and not required by the cutting style Natural - part of the originial crystal surface remaining on the polished stone Nick - a small notch near the girdle or a facet edge Pit - a tiny opening, often looking like a white dot Polish Lines - tiny parallel scratches left by polishing; fine parallel ridges on a polished facet, caused by crystal structure irregularities; or tiny, parallel, polished grooves produced by irregularities in the scaife surface Polish Mark - surface clouding caused by excessive heat, or uneven polished surface resulting from structural irregularities Rough Girdle - a graininy or pitted girdle surface, often with chips Scratch - a linear indentation normally seen as a fine white line, curved or straight Surface Graining - surface indication or structural irregularity; may resemble faint facet junction lines, or cause a grooved or wavy surface
