That looks good as well. Did you check the HCA? It should be under 2 or very close to it

Yeah it’s around 1.7 I believe. Them damn inclusions just make me worrisome!

On which stone? The newer one you posted? It's super unlikely you'll notice them IRL. They are incredibly small.

Yeah, but even any I look at for that matter. I guess I always assumed VS1/2 would have next to nothing

It will have next to nothing. You are looking at a giant image. VS2 means "inclusions seen at 10x magnification".

So circling back around, how much different do you think the original Tianyu stone would differ from the most recent one I sent? Like, a side by side difference once in a platinum setting?

I honestly can't say. But I know for sure if I was spending 4-5K I would want something with a solid return policy and numbers in the "safest" range since you won't be getting advanced images like ASET or IS that we recommend with natural diamonds. In the end it's completely up to you. If it weren't an engagement ring (e.g. if it were a right hand ring or a fun ring), then I'd probably say that the Tianyu one is good enough and not to worry and save money, or that you could ask Tianyu for a stone within a more ideal cut range. But I just think this is an important purchase that you want to get right.

I REALLY like that one!!!!

Nothing looks off to you with it? Some of the ones around $6500 look better, but it might just be the lighting/camera angle and distance
