Is this "eye clean" pic attached

[michaell1999]

Will the inclusion be easy for people to see?

I''m down to two diamonds. This is .1 carat larger than the other but it has this inclusion on the top.

Thanks for any help. Making the purchase today!

Is this stone from GOG? If so, call them and ask them!!!

The stone is in house, so they can easily look at it and let you know what they see.

I agree w/ Stretch. Ask GOG. They will be honest with you! What is the clarity grade of the stone?

 

[michaell1999]

yes, its from GOG. I think they said it was eye clean. I''m going to call later today.
Just wanted a second opinion before making purchase. I thought it looks big enough to see.
I''ve been flip flopping for some time trying to decide between the two.

The clarity is SI1.

The other diamond I''m comparing is a VS2.

That inclusion is pretty obvious to me, but the picture could be way magnified. Call them ASAP!

Also keep in mind: I''ve seen people on PS agree that you cannot tell a visual size difference between two diamonds until there is a minimum difference of .2 mm in diameter. So perhaps the slightly larger stone won''t look any bigger...but I am sure you''ll save with with SI. Good luck!

Michael, I understand you wanting a second opinion, but really, we aren''t the people to be asking. The diamond is blown up tremendously in that pic, which means our guess is as good as yours. Hence why I said to ask GOG. Now, if they told you it was eye clean, then personally, I would trust them. If you are unsure, please ask them to tell you what they mean by "eye clean." Ask them if it is visible at any angle, etc. Tell them that you don''t ever want to see it with the naked eye, and see what they say. And if you are still uncertain, send it to an independent appraiser and get their opinion. Or, just go with the smaller diamond to be safe. But in the end, I would talk again with GOG and express your concerns and see what they say. I trust their opinion the most.

The eye clean issue is always a problem. Probably this diamond would qualify as eye clean by most sellers, but the ultra-honest will usually say, "Its very much eye-clean to me, but every person has their own power of vision and maybe you''ll see some tiny flaw there." If you don''t see it, then it is eye clean. If you do see it, then it isn''t. It really is not up to the seller to tell you what YOU might be able to see with YOUR eyes.

I don''t have a horse in this race, so my opinion is that probably it could or generally would be sold as eye clean. I might be able to see such a blemish in proper lighting if given enough time to find it. Does that really matter? What matters is that you are treated honestly, that the value is right and that you know the gemologically correct clarity grade. "Eye clean" has more to do with salesmanship and haggling, than it does for judging a diamond''s beauty or true quality.
