"eye- clean" by the human eye but not 10x...

[Tammy296]

What would meet this spec and still give a diamond fire and brilliance?

 

[Tammy296]

In other words,

Is it possible to get this in an SI 1, 2 or I1?

My old diamond was an SI1 and I never saw one black spec by the human eye although you can see under 10x....

You can satisfy those parameters in most SI1's and a good bit of SI2's.

We reject approximately 30% of the GIA & AGS graded diamonds which we evaluate for not being "eye clean"... We reject most SI-2 clarity diamonds that we evaluate for not being "eye clean"... In a given year, we will reject maybe five or six VS-2 clarity diamonds for not being "eye clean"... But Todd has 19/20 vision corrected for astigmatism which may be a factor, in other words "eye clean" is in the eye of the beholder
