How do these look?

[Larry48]

I plan on buying a 1 ct round diamond to set in a simple 18k yellow gold, six prong solitaire setting. Any opinions on these two SI2 diamonds? I am waiting to hear back from the supplier to confirm if they are eye-clean. There don''t appear to be many markings on the GIA report; is this a good indicator that they are eye-clean?

Here they are:

No, the plot of inclusions cannot tell you whether the stone is eye-clean or not. If the stones are from the signature collection, then my understanding is that they can pull the stones and look at them for you as they are in-house. If not, I think the only thing you can do is order the stone, examine it closely yourself (or take it to an appraiser) and then return it if the inclusions bother you. I personally would not buy an SI2 virtual stone just because of the trouble and expense of returning a stone. Some SI2''s are fine and some are not.
