avs Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 2/21/2003 Member Since: 2/20/2003	Hi, Found one in my price range : 1.44 C, H/SI-1 depth 60.8 table 56 crown angle 34.6 pavillion angle 40.7 quoted for $7,635 The only 'thing' that bothers me a little is clarity - SI-1? Question: would I be able to see inclusions with naked eye? What do you think about the price? Thank you.

If its graded as an Si-1 should be, you should not be able to see it with the naked eye. My SI-1 is completely eye clean. I've gone into some jewelery stores recently & of course the salespeople always ask to see it. Well, a couple of them asked me what the clarity is as it was so "clear" that they couldnt tell. I told them an SI-1, in which they said it was a nice one. Then they took the loop (they always bring out a loop haha) & saw the inclusion. So, its there, it can be seen with a loop, but to the naked eye, no way. Unless you have eyes like a hawk, maybe. Just be sure that the inclusions are white, not black so that should give you an edge in regards to the inclusions. For us the SI-1 worked out well. Why pay for something you cant see? We got a larger stone, & thats something I can see. Judy :-)

Question: would I be able to see inclusions with naked eye? What do you think about the price? Thank you. ---------------- Hi, AVS: You have learned well! Ha....I just love a success story! About the SI-1......as long as it's eye-clean to the naked eye, don't sweat it. You can have it sent to an appraiser for evaluation right from the vendor if that would give you peace of mind. You'll likely need the appraisal anyway for insurance, and the only additional cost is shipping. I guarantee that cost is a drop in the bucket compared to what you almost donated to BB&B. Good luck finding the right stone for you! _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.

Giangi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,530 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 1/23/2003	Who graded this diamond? AGS or GIA? The diamond, being over a carat, could have slightly visible inclusions... Why don't you ask the seller if he/she can see the inclusions? Also, the plot of the stone could help us... If the grade-setter inclusion (the first listed in the key to symbols) is a cloud, probably you won't be able to see it. The location of the inclusions is very important too. Can you post a copy of the cert??? Giangi _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi
