Inclusions in 1.08 ct G/SI1 stone (AGS)

[irinarina]

I requested a copy of the certificate for the diamond I was going to look at tomorrow, but after I so the inclusions I am not sure if I should consider this diamond. A copy of AGS I obtained from the Webas my jeweler provided the number only. Would someone please take a look at this diamond and share your opinion? Thank you!

The size of the clouds and crystals would concern me as well. Crystals and clouds can be okay but when they're large, clustered or dark they can be noticeable to the naked eye. I am not the most experienced person here so don't take my word for it. Other more experienced members will also comment.

They seem to be consolidated all onto one side of the stone. I would certainly still go look at it, and when you do, see if that area of the stone appears more dull than the rest. See if there are transparency issues in that area due to the consolidation of the inclusions. Look at it in a lot of different lighting and be sure it is eye clean. If they won't accomodate that request, walk away.

What the others have said is solid. Stone plots frequently look scary. They are designed to positively identify the stone, not to communicate appearance. Don't reject the stone until you have carefully examined it yourself.

The pdf you posted looks wild. The red and blue are reversed! (But it looks normal at the AGS report check site)

An important point often overlooked by those disseminating advice!

The worst looking plots are generally the best looking inclusion patterns, while 1 small inclusion on the plot is generally the worst

I wasn't able to find it in normal color. Would you please share a link to the AGS report check site? Thank you!

dear OP
this will entirely depend on what you wish to do with the stone
if you are purchasing this stone to invest then it does appear to be
something that does resemble an investment grade stone as
all the cut characteristics on the stone seem to be pretty top end(meaning its brilliantly cut stone)
(this is due to the fact that AGS 0 is in some respect,second to none in terms of the cut dimensions in which i am reffering to)
if your buying it to invest then for the SI1 clarity you will need a corresponding colour in the region of
h,i,j(which you have) and also you will need for the stone to have a high quality/ideal cut(which you have)
these types of diamonds tend to increase in price year after year because they have been coordinately graded.

if on the other hand you wish to purchase the diamond with the intention to set it into a ring,
its best to take not of the severity of the inclusions that are approaching the girdle/crown and hope that
the thickness and integrity of the girdle is not tarnished to high degree to hence prevent cracking when it is set.

i hope that this answers your question,
if not,you are more then welcome to view and consider purchasing many other of the great stones listed on
the price-scope diamond search feature

kindest regards,
Ethan

It's best to disregard "investment" advice regarding diamonds, and to be skeptical of anyone suggesting it.
