Hi there,
I am hoping for your advice! we picked out a diamond in London's Hatton Gardens and chose a 0.57 carat round cut diamond. The specs are G colour, excellent cut polish and symmetry, no fluoro and SI2
I'm concerned that we've been mislead and given the wrong information and in short, my diamond looks awful in certain bright lights, especially sunlight. The clarity grade is SI2, based on "cloud". I do not have the full report and only the GIA dossier so unfortunately there is no plot. The diamond looks milky / hazy and almost like I want to wipe the top of it but of course that doesn't help!
Our budget allowed us to either go for a 0.45 carat SI1 diamond or a 0.57 carat SI2 diamond. The two diamonds placed next to each other the 0.57 carat SI2 diamond looked "whiter" even though the colour grade was slightly lower. I questioned it at the time but was assured that it was a good stone. The GIA number is: 6183010947.
We were told that clouds are a good thing in terms of inclusions and that the cloud(s) do not affect the brilliance of the diamond at all and it has a lot of fire - gemologist's words.
Since reading the forums on pricescope I am really concerned that we've been mislead, and clouds are not a good thing especially when it seems that this is the only inclusion and the clarity grade is therefore based on this?
Could I have your advice/thoughts please? It is outside of the 30 day returns policy as we bought it about 4 months ago and my boyfriend kept the ring to surprise me at a later date, so I've been wearing the ring for about 2 months and it bothers me every time I catch it in bright lighting.
Thanks so much
