Hi all,
I've been around this forum for a while and absorbing all the knowledge. Thank you to the group that makes this awesome. Now I am keen to get your advice on a shortlist of 4 stones. My top priorities are clarity and best brilliance/ radiance/ least leakage from the diamond and I am trying to hit the 1.5C mark. Having said that, inclusions like cavities, feathers, and twinning wisps seem to be an eyesore for me when they can be seen through a gemscope, not to mention I am unsure how they affect brilliance/ radiance..
I have shortlisted the following 4 stones-
1. 1.43C, G-VS1, Triple Ex, Depth-62.2%, Table-56.0%, Crown-36deg, Pavillion 40.6deg, HCA 1.8

Inclusions include cloud, crystal, feather, needle. The GIA report image does not show these prominently. However, it mentions 'additional clouds/ pinpoints not shown'. Should I be worried? Also, doesn't really hit the 1.5C mark for me.
2. 1.53, G-VS1, Triple Ex, Depth-62.3%, Table-55.0%, Crown-35.5deg, Pavillion 40.8deg, HCA 2.6
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-1825408
This one has medium fluorescence. Not sure if this is a bad thing. Also, the HCA is above 2 which is worrisome.
3. 1.56, F-VS1, Triple Ex, Depth- 61.7, Table- 56%, Crown-34.5 deg, Pavillion 40.6 deg,HCA 0.8
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...f-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-1796821
This one has strong fluorescence. Not sure if this is a bad thing.
4. 1.5, G-VS2, Triple Ex, Depth- 62, Table- 56%, Crown-35 deg, Pavillion 40.6 deg, HCA 0.9
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-1108088
This shows quite a few twinning wisps in the GIA report image. This is worrisome.
Please let me know your top 2 recommendations and help me make a decision. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
