HELP!? Is VS2 really invisible to the naked eye?

[jootyhuynh]

My friend is getting his gf a VS2 with a crystal close to the middle. It kind of looks like this in video: https://www.jamesallen.com/mobile/l...l-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2614544. Can a person really not see it in real life? Please help us.

Have you asked James Allen to inspect the stone and provide their opinion if possible? Eye-clean to one person may not be eye-clean to another. The video that you are looking at is highly magnified.

In my experience, small inclusions in the table are visible in some lights fairly close up - usually I can see them if there is strong light is coming in from the side. Whether or not that bothers a person is different - I'm not bothered by it as long as I can't see it from 1-2 feet away in most lighting situations, which would be the case with that stone. But some people would be bothered by it.

It's very possible that this inclusion is visible to the naked eye. This is not good VS2 clarity!

Agree with the above. VS2 inclusions can definitely be visible to the naked eye!

Have you/they requested an idealscope image of this stone?

Please advise him against purchasing this stone. It scores over 5 on the HCA scale. The cut is terrible.

The clarity grade is not based on visibility but rather the size of the inclusions. So this one could be visible. Also visible is a very broad term that depends on who and where.
