Good morning, Rocky Talkers. I'm back with a question about my recently purchased 1.85 ct, G, VVS 2, HCA 1.8 diamond. I posted it on this forum before purchasing and got some good input and no negative feedback on the knot, but now I am reading posts about knot inclusions being a cause for rejection that are causing me great concern. Since my diamond is still returnable, I thought I would get some reassurance from you fine folks about this knot. I've taken the diamond in for appraisal and no comment was made about the knot, but I did not specifically ask about it either. Since it is a VVS 2, the polish grade is "excellent", and the knot is listed after the pinpoints, does that mean that the knot is not of any concern or significance? My main concern is that it will affect the structural integrity of the stone since it is obviously not visible (hence the VVS 2) and presumably does not affect the polish (hence the "excellent" polish grade). So is this an instance where the knot is insignificant (if there is such a thing)? Or do the opinions on knots just vary and there is no "absolute" with regard to them? Sorry for all the questions...I think all this diamond research is getting to my head LOL Thanks again for all your help!
