There are really no obvious inclusions looking down at the table. There is a natural on the edge of the girdle. From the side, I can see some inclusions. Under a scope, there are noticable inclusions. When I saw this stone I thought it was at least a SI1. When the jeweler told me it was a I1, I was shocked. I didn't know at first if I would keep it because I told myself that an I1 couldn't be a nice stone. I've gotten so many compliments on it that I know it must be pretty. I don't have a Sarin Report but I think the cut must be good for as much fire as it puts out. The photos were taken with my digital camera with outdoor light & a flash. The BIG picture is a very creative idea that Tim had. I really got tickled when he sent me his "doctored" photo of my ring!
