Hey everyone,

I'm looking at a diamond of interest for an upcoming proposal (yay!). I've received pictures and details below and would like to get more expert opinions as I'm fairly new to this rodeo. My two major concerns are:

1) Color: I would prefer near colorless (like a G) and I'm worried the Color I grade might have too much color in it. I looked at EGLs that were a G, but have also read that those are more like I's on a GIA/AGS grading scale because they're more stringent.
2) Clarity: As noted below, it's an SI1 and I've received confirmation over email that it is 100% eye clean. However, it looks like there's a bunch of noticable specs throughout the diamond. I'm not sure if that is worrisome or if it truly is 100% eye-clean?!

Diamond Details
Attached are the photos and ASETs
1.95 carat
Round Brilliant
AGS certified; AGS Ideal 0 (for cut, light, polish, symmetry)
Flourescence: Negligible
Color: I; AGS 2.5
Clarity: SI1; AGS 5
HCA: 1.4 (Grade: Excellent) -> Table: 53%, Depth: 62.9%, Crown Ang. 34.3%, Pavilion Ang. 40.8%
Spoke with the Gemologist and the diamond is 100% eye-clean

Thank you very much for the advice!!

Looks like a nice diamond but as you said, I am concerned about the clarity. Is it eye clean from 12 inches away? 6 inches away?

I agree with Chrono. Ask what they consider to be "eyeclean" and from how many inches away, etc.
