About to buy this ring but still concerned about slight inclusion. Please help!

Hi all,
Almost ready to buy the following ring:
https://www.bluenile.com/build-your...MONDS&track=viewDiamondDetails&action=sameTab

As you can see, near the center there is a small black mark. I've been assured by bluenile it will be eye clean. I know it is in their interest to tell me that, but given the size of the inclusion and the fact that the video is 20X magnification, I'm thinking it will probably be already.

Do you think it will be eye clean? Any other issues you can see? Thank you for your help!!!!

Really depends how good your eyes are (how young are you). Honestly, I'm personally not feeling this stone. If it didnt have the crystal on the table,
or if the faceting was better, I might be able to do it. The combination of typical light return with a crystal on the table doesnt thrill me.

That being said...I trust what BN tells you. Do you know at what distance BN determines eye-clean? Some vendors are 10 inches. If you want
to see eye-clean closer than there could be an issue.

I think considering the size of the stone and the size of the dark inclusions...I think it will be eye clean. I see more than one dark speck but they are small..and the stone is in the size range that I think will hide the inclusions...You can always return it after you see it in person.

I really don't think you will be able to see it unless you look closely. The good news with Blue Nile is that you can always exchange it if need be.

I am not thrilled about this oval either, here are some other suggestions

This one is not on the list because it is my favorite

Thanks so much for your reply. What about this one? I found the same diamond elsewhere for a lower price so I think I can get a price match.

This last one...the inclusion is gone but the faceting isnt really any better.

The area of mush in a typical oval is circled in blue below. When the stone turns slightly you would like to see these facets that go out towards the long ends
light up (or turn on and not be mushy).

This stone shows facets lighting up (coming into focus, well defined and not mushy). These facets return light well (what you want to see).

Not a huge fan--I think the faceting is still pretty messy.
