If the SI2 is eye-clean . . . I would choose that.

When I ask about eye clean they say "borderline". How much more is SI1 worth over SI2? Cut between excellent and very good? Is one''s dimensions better than the other?

Here''s a couple more in your price range that have Ideal Scope images, and additional information available:

1.51 ct H SI1 Round Ideal Cut Expert Selection Price Scope Price $9210

1.521 ct H SI1 Round Ideal Cut Expert Selection Price Scope Price $9797

I remember reading somewhere in an old post, after cut, clarity is the next most expensive factor. Here is the thread where Garry said clarity costs more than color. How much?? I don''t know.

It is best when in this situation to ask the vendor exactly what he means when he says borderline, compared to what your expectations are and own idea of ''eyecleanliness.'' However I would toss out this SI2 as it faces up smaller too.

What exactly does that mean? Which dimension are you looking at for this? What is acceptable for 1.50? Thank you so much!

1.5 is about 7.4 mm.

Lorelei said throw out the SI2 which is 1.6 (7.43x7.51) and actually faces up smaller than the 1.52 (7.46x7.55)
