kenny Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,871 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Anyone care to live dangerously and stick their neck out taking a stab at this? Here are the odds I'd give to a stone being eye-clean. For this thread let's use the description of eye-clean that is on Whiteflash's website: WF's eye-clean definition Using GIA's clarity standards: I1 and below 0% SI2 10% SI1 30% VS2 95% VS1 and up 100% Do you agree? What percentages would you assign? ___________________ Keep asking questions.

When I was shopping 4 years ago everyone told me you had to go down to Is to get visable inclusions and I thought GIA's own grading sheet suggested SI inclusions were visable under a loop, not to the naked eye. *new and improved*

Also, shape of the stone, and, per Garry's charts, age of the person. Storm, you're getting older like Garry. Very recently, he told someone to fugget about VS2 and go for SI 1 & 2.

But there are other reasons people choose VS or VVS over SI or I. Just like some people enjoy a $6 bottle of wine from the grocery store and others enjoy a $100 bottle (thinking of Dee Jay the other night!) I think it is not wasteful to buy a well cut diamond with high color and clarity if one desires to and has the money, regardless of visual acuity! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

LOL actualy if I take my glasses off and hold the stone close to my left eye I can see some vs2 inclusions and many si1 inclusions. In wifey2bs diamond I can see the inclusion easily that way but have a very hard time finding it with a loupe.. its a vs2. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K
