Hi Shanna

Can't tell much by the numbers, do you have any images such as photos or ASET? Or have you seen it in person in a store? IGI are said to grade less strictly than GIA or AGS, this page explains further.

Info on ASET images and how they work.

Yup, can''t say much without more info. What I can say is:

1) Depth and table are not red flags, but that''s not saying much
2) It faces up a bit smallish for a 1ct princess
3) IGI is known to be soft on color/clarity, so the color is a bit of a concern to me. It may turn out to be a "real" I (as in GIA or AGS would grade it an I), but it may be closer to J or K. Same with clarity, although with VS1 you''re more likely to at least have an eye-clean stone.

If you''re open to buying online and willing to post your budget, we''d be happy to suggest some rocks for you!
