I'm debating between a DSI1 and EVS2 (about 1.2 carrot). Any suggestions if the cut quality is the same? |

Is SI1 stone flawless for the naked eye? Is there any price difference? |

I'm still in the looking phase and needed to narrow the choices down but I would try to find a SI1 that was not visible to naked eye. It seems that the difference between a SI1 and VS2 and D and E are not noticible to the naked eye when in a setting (so I guess the choice is more for getting a better value). |

All other things being equal, I'd take the E VS2. |

I agree with Lawmax. Ususally price difference is bigger for a grade of clarity than a grade of color. However, on today's market white goods become more rare and in higher demand so the situation can change. |

In 100 years time the difference in price for the DSI1 will be less than it now is for the clarity premium on EVS2. If I am wrong  who cares? garry |

Actually, I just think that, for me, it would be the better trade-off. It would depend on the types of inclusions in the stones. |
