I thought it might be helpful to show a recent purchase because the stone is an I1 clarity diamond. A lot of people seem to ask questions about I clarity stones in terms of value for money vs quality. This is the first I clarity diamond I have bought and I selected it after seeing in person a huge umber of stones.
This is an unusual stone because the inclusions which result in the I1 grading are transparent feathers which are almost entirely eclipsed by the diamond's brilliance due to an excellent cut. I have a personal aversion to carbon spots of even the smallest dimensions in my diamonds but can happily live with the feathers in this stone. Most people when they look at your ring will seek out black spots and look into the depths of the stone so twining wisps, small clouds or feathers are often seemingly invisible to the lay person.
Of course it is vital to inspect especially I clarity stones with your own eye as a grading report simply cannot adequately give an adequate description.
If you enlarge the pics below you will see the feather on the left side of the stone.
This diamond is graded k colour but has a strong blue flouresence meaning it appears whiter than its grade. It's 4.06 carats and radiant cut with very good polish and symmetry.
Price per carat was $4,700 ($19k for the stone). Great value for money if you're looking for a larger diamond.
