Help on an SI1 cloud please.... possible impact on fire etc... (see pics)

[MrChops]

Hi all!

I am buying an engagement ring and have done a ton of reading prior to selecting a stone. I have 1 reserved, but would really like some more knowledgeable opinions on the possible impact of the cloud on the sparkle/fire of the stone.

The stone is a 0.74c GIA SI1 triple ex. Colour E, no fluorescence.

The inclusion listed is a cloud, but to my eye from the video I think the cloud is quite diffuse and under the star/crown facets.

Is this one you would stay away from? The cloud points are only visible from the bottom on the video, but I'm finding it hard to tell from the video how much of what I'm seeing is reflections of the same inclusions.

Is this one to steer clear of due to the effect of the cloud on the brilliance/causing it to look milky or is it worth seeing in person?

Can you post a picture of the certificate? I don't love it from these pics.

Apologies for the image quality. Thanks for taking a look though! Much appreciated!
Unfortunately as its under 1 carat, there's no plot diagram to work off.

I tried to add the "worst" angles of the stone from the video but can take some more stills.

Yeah I think it looks milky for sure. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.

Thank you, I'll ask to look at some other stones! Really appreciate your time.

I'd stay away too. If you give us your budget we can help you look.

Agree that the stone looks milky. The GIA cert confirms this - SI1 with cloud inclusions only.

We can help you find alternatives if you like once we know your budget.

Is that your budget arena?
