I am wondering this stone, anyone can help whether it is good or not? and the inclusion is acceptable or not?

Thank you very much for your opinion.

Thanks for your reply. whether the inclusion will be a concern?

 

[JulieN]

you have to ask JA.

I asked, they said no worry. But I want to hear other people's opinion.

The usual thing people worry about with inclusions in SI goods is whether or not the stone is 'eye clean'. The problem here is that it's not part of the GIA grading standards so it often comes down to the individual. How good are your eyes? Hows the lighting? Do you know what to look for? All is not lost, the answer becomes asking someone who you trust and who can actually look at it. 20/20 vision, the best lighting possible, yes they know what to look for. At the moment, the ONLY people can do that are the people who have the stone in hand and that means talking to JA. If you trust them, ask and listen to their advice. If you don't trust them, politely thank them for their time and shop somewhere else.

After it arrives, the next step is to look at it yourself. Can YOU see it? Look at it under magnification so you know what you're looking fro and then look again. If you're still worried about it, hire a professional appraiser to take a look. Their eyes, their environment. Live and in person. As with the seller, pick one you trust. They all have websites promoting themselves and the burden is on them to convince you that their opinions have merit.

This is how JA defines eye clean: http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/education/diamonds/diamond-clarity/eye-clean/

Is that the same as your specifications? JA also doesn't check that stones are eye clean from the sides and they told me to assume that SI diamonds are not eye clean from the sides. I don't know if that's important to you.
