To start off, Let me just say, this website is an absolutely awesome resource for somebody starting out in the diamond world like me, so thanks to anyone I may have read info from. I knew absolutely nothing about diamonds prior to my recent search/quest to find an engagement ring for my beautiful gf. After doing a lot of research and spending a lot of time searching James Allen and this website, I found what I think is a great value diamond.

In order of importance, I prioritized eye clean, cut, carat, color, clarity (beyond eye clean).

Here is the diamond and setting I have purchased:

http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/three-stone/18k-white-gold-three-stone-pear-shaped-blue-sapphire-engagement-ring-item-1643

I'm really happy with my purchase, I'm just a little anxious that the diamond is indeed eye clean. From looking at it I believe it will be, I asked the James Allen reps and they thought it was, and have left a note with the gemologist to please attempt to detect if it is eye clean and if not they will email me so I can select another diamond. And if it arrives and is not eye clean, I can always return it as well. Clearly it has some inclusions, but to me (and my gf as we are very alike) the only thing that matters is that the imperfections are eye clean.

Just thought I would ask the opinion of some of you on here who have a lot more experience than I, do you think the diamond above is eye clean? On the GIA report the clarity report only has "twinning wisp".

Much appreciated in advance!

I could not get a screen capture but there does look like just the tiniest speck at about "530" on the table, centre, when you are looking at the rotating picture face on. Is that just a piece of fluff?? This video is also magnified far larger than what your eye would pick up... but that's all that I could observe from the site.

I can't understand why they don't provide the inclusion plot. I'd want to know what SI2 inclusions are. The second one certainly appears to be eyeclean, but I'd still want to know what gives it the SI2 grade.

GIA often does not include the diagram of inclusions on diamonds under a carat. They have a diamond dossier instead of a full report.

the 0.96 stone should be eye clean.

To get an honest opinion on the clarity, you should ask the gemologist or wait to see what it looks like in person. We can't guess on here and that's what we'd be doing especially since there is not plot diagram.

I agree the .96 should be eye clean.

I think it will be eye clean as well.
