Opinion on Slight Graining - 1.52 D VS2

[dalagniappe]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I appreciate any comments on the following diamond. My current concern is the slight graining. I have read and watched youtube videos about graining. How obvious is it to notice, or am I going to have to wait and check out the gem?

I should receive the diamond in the next couple of days and will post a better photo for people to use in the future. The HCA tool rates at 1.4 with excellent in all fields but spread (very good). Below are a photo and the sketch of inclusions from certificate.

Shouldn't be a problem.

I think I can see the carpet's texture right through the stone... Use HCA with the angles, not the height percentages.

No angles provided in certificate due to being an EGL certified diamond. I am sure most have figured that part out and I dont care much about certification. Just wanted a clean looking diamond between D-G with a nice cut. It arrives this afternoon, am anxious to get off work and check it out in person.

Just to update for anyone curious about EGL certificates.

As you can see, the diamond is not a D. It is still a nice stone, and the inclusions are very small. I am still up in the air on if I should keep it or look for a better diamond. The graining is not noticeable unless you know to look for it, it does make the diamond less firery I think.
