Advice Dealing with a Knot

[Walter89]

Looking for some advice.

Should I be worried about the structural integrity of this diamond given what looks like a very large knot.

GIA Graded diamond. 1.06 CT, H colour, SI1 Clarity with excellent cut. Cost is 5,500.



Thank you kindly.

Is the stone eye-clean?

From what I've read, knots are close to the surface by definition, so it's rare for them to be eye clean. Also, there is mention of durability issues in knots as well. I don't have experience with them, though. Best of luck!

Yes I have been told that the stone is eye clean.

This one, but it'll cost you an extra $2300..

Appreciate the replies thus far. I am specifically looking to see if a knot this size should be adeal breaker and/or what the ramifications of aknot this size are?

Thank you in advance,

I just discovered the HCA calculator and the HCA score was 1.3. Perhaps this adds some additional context.

It depends on both the location of the knot and whether it is the clarity grade setter.
