Hi all:
I just put the below-listed JA diamond on hold and have 48 hours to make up my mind if it''s a keeper.
The GIA report is not online but it was faxed to me and the plot looks amazingly clean for an SI2. Also, it is ideal cut and not an H&A but the numbers on it place it in a AGS0 range on the HCA. The JA rep. says it is eye-clean from the table and that all SI diamonds are going to show inclusions if viewed from the side or the culet. In any event, he says that once it is set, it''s a moot point because you are just going to see the table. I''ve used the JA 18x online loupe and it is still hard to find the inclusions, at least to my very untrained eyes.
So, am I missing something here or is this diamond a great find? What am I losing by not having it an H&A when the numbers look so good?
Thanks in advance for your continued assistance.
