This afternoon while trolling for a diamond for an engagement ring, I found the diamond below at what I think is an fair price. I will send the bank wire tomorrow (Thurs), to a vendor who is well represented here. The picture has all the details, and I have the GIA report, but it did not include a 'map' locating the inclusions. It did have the picture, and for the life of me I can only make out very small imperfections, and even those I'm not sure about. I can usually see the imperfections of S1s when the image is this large, but here I'm pleasantly surprised that I cannot see much of anything. Can you folks help me? This is the only picture I have, and as I said there is no specification of includion location on the report. Thanks for this and all the help the site has given me.

I have an SI1 actually but I couldn't even find the inclusions under a loupe even after I had the attendant draw a 'map' for me of where things were, so even though it's not technically graded a VVS2, I'm certainly very happy with it and the saleswoman agreed that it was very clean for an SI1. I'd try to see if you could get more images since it's hard to tell from just one angle/picture, but it looks good from here!

The report says only 'Feather'. Thanks folks for the kind words. Looks fine, just check that this diamond is eyeclean according to your comfort level with the vendor. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
