i have checked the stone again. the black spot can only be seen from side view. despite of this spot, it seems very clear at all other parts. So do you think it is big bad?
whether or not this is bad depends on your definitions of good and bad. will it bother you to know that it is there? if not, then it is not a problem. if it will bother you, then go with a different stone or go to higher clarity.
i have also compared it with other same grade H SI1 stone with 0.9 HCA. yes, i admit it has difference but seem very very very little difference in my mind. for other higher clarity like VS grade, it does have differences. Maybe it is because of clarity difference, right?
probably not because of clarity difference if yours is eye-clean. does yours have clouds? sometimes SI clouds can impact brilliance. it also could be because one of the diamonds is dirty.
it seems that my budget hinders me much to choose other stones. what i can choose is the stone much more sparkling but with some clear defects that i can see from naked eyes, maybe i am getting to be expert to see thru stone. once i can see the defects on surface by my naked eyes. i will reject it. Is this rejection correct?
it is 'correct' if that is important to you. some people are OK with visible inclusions. you need to decide what is important to you. if you post your budget/preferred specs we can help you find some good candidates for comparison.
anyone can help me? thank you
