That grading report clarity plot looks scary! but the stone looks very clean in the video.
Nice find! (As always! )
Thanks for posting. Ok, to me the diamond very clearly has transparency issues due to cloud being the clarity setting inclusion and “additional clouds not shown”. I thought I saw that the stone looked cloudy/not crisp in the photo, but this confirms it for me. I am actually quite surprised that one else is seeing this. Nonetheless, don’t feel that you need to stick with a diamond that doesn’t make you happy. Exchange it for the E/VVS or another stone. There are so many diamonds out there, so my advice is not to settle.

I was worried about the clouds in the clarity plot.
This should not be a transparency issue with VS2...

You would think that but personally, I have been many VS2 stones in the recent years that have transparency issues due to clouds, which is why I avoid them. It’s totally fair if others don’t feel the same way.
If you don’t love your diamond, you should definitely exchange it. I don’t see any transparency issues with your current diamond, but maybe my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be. I have a VS2 stone that has a similar clarity plot and the additional clouds not shown statement, and I don’t think mine has clarity issues. But every stone has to be reviewed in person to make sure. The E stone you like looks like a beauty if you don’t mind dropping below 1 carat.
Or what about this diamond? Why do you think the diamond looks so bright and white?

@Krista Williams - I am not sure if your upgrade is tied to a certain jeweler (BN) or if Canada makes it more complex to purchase through PP, but there is a pendant priced to sell on the PS preloved board that has an ideal diamond sized a smidge bigger, and you would get a sweet pendant setting to boot! Seller seems “motivated”... https://www.pricescope.com/communit...8k-white-gold-4-prong-martini-pendant.252714/
Wow it's gorgeous... I love the pendant and how you can see the diamond from the back.
I am tied to BN with upgrading my 0.76 G SI1. Also, the pendant is selling for $8000 USD, and I paid $8500 CAD for my diamond. $8000 USD is alot more then $8500 CAD

It's kinda a story ... I don't really have a top budget.... After I bought my G VS1 0.76, I said I was going to save up to upgrade to 1 carat. My mother, who lived with us and was very sick with COPD said to do it with her money when she passes away...... So this is what I am doing. I spent $8500 CAD on the H VS2. That was the max I wanted to spend.... But at this point, I am willing to spend a bit more to get a diamond I love.
I do really like the 1.20 H VVS2... It's more money but I can do it..... I'd rather it be a G, but it's not a big deal
I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your mother I understand and that is so very sweet and generous of her.
Ok let me see if I can find anything else interesting on BN. What was the trade in value of your 0.76?
I took care of my Mom for 5 years.... this past year was really really tough. My mom was always so thankful for us, and everything we did for her. We were also living across the country from her, but when she got sick (7 years ago) we came home to be with her, take care of her, and give her all the time she wanted with her grandbabies.
My trade in value was $3200....(I made a mistake above, it was a G SI1 0.76) I would love it if you had a look on BN and sent anything interesting my way!
