Have found a diamond. Your opinions please.

I have searched a few different sites and finally found a stone that might work. The service has been great and after a very informative phone conversation I think this may be the one. Please tell me what you think.

0.818 ct I VS1 A CUT ABOVE for just under $5000

Looks good to me but VS1 is overkill in the eye-clean department if that is all you needed, you can easily go down to SI1 for the size of stone you are looking at and still be eye-clean, to save some $ or improve a color grade.

For example this.

Thank you for your imput. I have had a look at both stones suggested and they seem fine I was told however by a representative from whiteflash that looked at the stones personally, that they were not eye clean below 8". I do like the idea of a higher color grade for the money but dont want to sacrifice on seeing inclusions in the stone. Still not ready to throw money down but getting close.

At VS1 or even SI1 grade, the stones should be eye clean. I personally won't go beyond VS2 on my purchases.

Well, I always prefer VS stones. But in this case, I would try to go VS2 if there was one available. But I didn't see one in their inventory, so that won't work! I think the stone you chose will be beautiful!

Thanks guys!

Maybe that is the problem right now. I cant seem to find a stone in a VS2 or SI1 in H&A right now that is eye clean. I guess that is why I am in the VS1 group and choosing an I color. I will have to decide by monday. But pretty content with the choice right now.
