Can someone help me analyze the IGI certification?

Hi all,

I am really interested in this diamond but cannot tell if it's good or not... the inclusion seems rather big but it is a VVS2. Any comments or suggestions? Thank you!

I don’t think the inclusion is big but I do think it’s reflected in the diamond.
The crown is a bit shallow to me, but it does fall right in Garry’s parameters for bright brilliant Here are some updated guidelines
Given how good everything else looks, I think it would be worth requesting pictures and video so you can see the inclusion yourself.

That is a weird inclusion - I'm wondering if it's an effect of stria that can be caused by the CVD process as it lays down the layers.

I know he's a busy man but perhaps @John P might be able / willing to offer comment, as I know he's done some work on MMD inclusions!

I'd be interested to see the pics/video if you get them!
