Need advice on this diamond.

Saw this diamond from WF in the ES section, do you think that it would be eye-clean??? It gets a 1.3 on the HCA, and everything else seems to look ok.

I would call WF on Wednesday and ask.

There's no way to know if it's eyeclean without asking Brian. Keep in mind, of course, that the same stone might be eyeclean to one person and not to another. It depends on your eyesight and how picky you are. If you never, ever want to see anything in your stone from any angle at any time from any distance, I might stay away from an SI2 grade. At least, that is what Brian told me when we were discussing clarity. But there are plenty of people who have well cut SI2s on this board who swear by them for the great beauty and value they represent. I am one of those super picky people with great eyesight and have even spotted an inclusion in my VS2, so it really depends on the person. Brian will be honest with you and tell you how clean an SI2 this is, but he won't be able to guarantee that it'll be completely and totally eyeclean to everyone.

I agree, what may be eye clean to one may not be eye clean to another. I bought an SI1 from WF and am very picky. They said it''s kaleigh eye clean.

I think it was actually JohnQ that came up with that phrase. Sure enough it was and am thrilled with the stone. Have Brian pull it for you and chat with him about it. I do trust his eyes. Good luck, so many people have gorgeous eye clean SI2''s on here. I hope it is eye clean, looks like a very nice stone!!!
