Is there such a thing in GIA stones? Would you ever consider going SI2 on earrings?

That makes me feel a bit better : ) Looking at 1.75-2ct each for studs. My current studs are 'i' in color and face up white so I am fine with that color...but they are VS2's and I just can't afford VS2's in that size. Is the larger the diamond the more visible the inclusion? What is a proper way when I ask for someone to conduct a search for me with no black. Do I simply just say 'eye clean' and they get the drift? Thanks!

To me, for earings they only need to be eye clean at like 12 inches. If anyone I know is getting closer than that, they better be going in for a kiss, not inspecting my earrings.
ha! Only my husband is allowed to inspect my pendant at that distance.Date: 5/25/2010 9:58:16 PM

Ironically2, The implications for an SI2 of 0.15ct will be different than the implications for an SI2 of 5.00ct.
Let me guess. The inclusions in SI2 for stones less than 0.5 ct will be less visible than inclusions for SI2 in 5.00 ct, right? (inclusions proportionally bigger with size of diamond).

So, when you buy large diamonds just get VVS clarity.

Yes, with slight rewording. Every diamond is an individual case, but you nailed the principal.Date: 5/25/2010 11:19:18 PM

In my experience this kind of careful planning is how eye-clean I1s can be achieved.Date: 5/26/2010 10:08:30 AM

I never realized how important it is to have a cutter maximize the stone based on where they 'place' the inclusions in the cut.
