Hi, JED.

There is not enough information here to give us any clue. You should look at the reports for crown and pavilion angles. Also, pictures are generally helpful.

It seems like you are buying online? You can use this to find stones: https://www.pricescope.com/panning.aspx

Yes I''m buying online. What would be the appropriate angles for these diamonds? should I call about any inclusions? or will SI2 be fine, I don''t care about what I see under 10X. thanks again.

Definitely check w/ the vendor to make sure it''s eye clean to YOUR definition. I recently bought a SI1 stone that was "eye clean", but I can see the inclusion at some angles so I may end up switching it out for a VS2 clarity just to be sure. All I''m saying is be careful about this if it''s important to you and if you have a sharp eye. But there are definitely 100% eye clean SI1''s and even SI2''s out there.

There are a number of angles that could work for these stones. Best thing is to get the numbers from the cert and enter them into the HCA (under TOOLS above). Any stone that scores under 2 is worthy of further consideration. Use it as a tool to reject stones OVER 2, but otherwise don''t read into the score. Just know below 2 is good.
