Does this SI1 inclusion look scary?

[jennykuang]

Dear all: I love everything about this diamond, but the inclusions table on GIA paper look so scary to me and I also see the inclusions in the 360 degree video on JA. However, per JA this is an eye clean diamond. Do you guys think I should give it a try? It is for a halo ring setting with F color diamonds on the halo and band. Thanks all!

Well it's a shame you cannot see the stone for yourself, before it is set. That may well put your mind at ease.
It can be very difficult to pick up inclusions in a MRB, because of the brightness and faceting.

Our modern technology shows up the inclusions in a way that is just not accessible in normal wear.
The stone is very large on the 360 degree rotation is it not?
Imagine at the actual size of 7.43mm.

Having said that, if you have the stamina and the time, personally, I would keep looking.
I prefer twinning wisps as my 'favourite' inclusion lol... this is due to the influence of my canny old diamond merchant, who is expert in choosing eyeclean SI2!

I would keep it in reserve, but keep looking. Preferably something eyeclean with twining wisps without negative effect.

Alternatives:
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.53-carat-h-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-157306 Good HCA score. H color. If the feather doesn't break the surface and it is eyeclean could be an option.

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.53-carat-i-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-265220 Is it eyeclean, do the twinning wisps have a negative effect, does the feather break the surface.

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.53-carat-i-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-265220 This one is a 60/60. If eyeclean get an IS. I like this one.

Not at all. Just imagine this stone is 200 times smaller than what you are seeing. (Hit Ctrl -) on the key board. You will see that it is not noticeable!
