What do you think this stone will look like? I am awaiting feedback from the vendor, but in the meantime I was wondering what the odds are that these inclusions won''t actually be visible? Also, will this appear fairly white because the faint blue may counteract the more yellow appearance of an H. I know this all gets magnified with a larger diamond. I really would love to WOW

her with a 2.0 ct, but I want to make sure it sparkles and looks great to the eye.

Wow 2 carats - that would be pretty impressive indeed!

The only thing that concerns me is the word "eyecleanish"... does it really say "eyecleanish" or does it say "eye clean". If it says eye cleanish, that sounds like it might not really be truly eye clean.

Definitely get the crown & pavilion angles and try to get some close up pictures of the inclusions. I would love to see the pictures.

anyone else''s opinions? I''m still waiting to hear from the vendor...

A scan of the cert (clarity plot included, decent quality scan), one picture and Ideal Scope and there will be oe to talk about !

You need more information to make an educated decision. You need to get crown and pavilion angle information and where's the girdle info? Should be on the cert?

As Val noted, try to get an IdealScope image of the stone and/or inclusion closeups to see what they look like. Also a scan of the cert itself would help to show you where the inclusion are located.

I would not personally buy anything sight-unseen without more information than what you have here. ESPECIALLY on an EGL graded SI2. You may have a winner but you may also have something that GIA would have graded an I1. You won't know without more information.

That said, if the angles check out, the girdle is nice, the inclusions are not visible, you could have a beautiful stone on your hands, and that H SI2 for me is the absolute sweet spot, BUT again you need more info.

Lastly, what is a Premium Cut C.E. ? C.E. to me could say Clarity Enhanced but your next note says No. ???

Good luck!
