Hi Everyone - I just got engaged and LOVE my ring not to mention my fiance (what a weird word), but after being on Pricescope and looking at over 200 loose rocks I got really good, maybe too good at spotting little inclusions (any others out there with this problem!!??). ANYWAY, It's a BEAUTIFUL 1.5 Princess in a Vatche X-prong, F color, Ideal cut, EX polish - VS2 - BUT I can see little inclusions if I turn it upside down and look up from the bottom!! Is this normal?? I thought VS2 was supposed to be EYE-CLEAN!! I loved working with Whiteflash - but did we get ripped off? No one else will ever see the inclusions, and I TRULY don't mind them , but just want to know. PLEASE, PLEASE help. PS - I'll Post pics soon - & thanks for all the advice over the past 6 months!

Sometimes it is good not to be experts. Since now you know what to look for and where to look for, you are able to see the inclusions. VS doesn't mean there aren't any inclusions. Of course if you are going to keep staring at it you should be able to locate them, especially through pavilion. I took courses on movie special effects where I learned behing the scene issues, after which when I see special effects movies, instead of me enjoying the scene, my mind wavers on how they made the shot and what all they used to get the scene right. I feel it frustrating that I am not able to enjoy the scene without thinking about the details. My friend, you are having the same problem

I'm sure one of the experts will chime in, but according to the GIA site, VS2 inclusions are "somewhat easy" for a trained grader to see, face up, with 10X magnification. So I think you are just dandy. Whiteflash is quite reputable, I don't think they would misrepresent a stone. Try to stop obsessing, and just enjoy your yummy new ring! Congratulations on your engagement!

The inclusions on a VS2 aren't supposed to be seen with the naked eye when the stone is viewed face up. You're not supposed to look for the inclusions by flipping it upside down or looking from the side. I believe that's how it is. I'm not a jeweler, but that's what my research led me to believe.

Diamonds are graded table up, not thru the pavillion. The VS grading applies to what the grader saw, thru the table, with a 10X loupe. WF is extremely reputable. You have to be to survive doing business in this fishbowl!! 
Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! |

Hello AE. Not to worry... Date: 1/4/2005 6:42:57 PM Author: codex57 I think there's your problem right there.

You're not supposed to look for the inclusions by flipping it upside down or looking from the side. I believe that's how it is. I'm not a jeweler, but that's what my research led me to believe. ...Codex and the others speak truly. VS2 indicates eye-clean in the face up position. I'm so glad you love the ring - CONGRATS on the engagement. We'll be watching for those pics. John |
