There's no way to accurately judge an asscher by a static photo. We need video at the very least, and preferably an ASET too. Can you get those?

That inclusion looks like it would be visible even though it's a VS2. Step cuts are not as forgiving with inclusions unfortunately!

 

[Matthews1127]

I agree! An ASET would be so helpful! Being able to see how she performs in action would help, too! The inclusion is in a terrible location...but the nature of the inclusion may not affect her performance as much as one may think. You'd have to see how she flashes in different environments to tell if the inclusion is glaring or faint....the fact that it's located in the center of the stone, where the steps lead to the dead center of the windmills, where most of the mesmerizing effect is derived, may cause a distraction that you may not like or want...

Whether or not visible inclusions bother you is completely up to the individual.

For me, I'm a clarity-freak so like stones to be very definitely eye- and mind-clean - so for me, the 'blemish' right in the middle of the table would completely rule this one out as I would see it every time I looked at it.

It is quite dark head-on, though, so I'm not keen on it for that reason either.


It is certainly a large stone at a reasonable price, though

Inclusion looks bad in the video. It is possible to get good VS2a and even SI1s in step cuts if the inclusions are placed well or are colorless. This one just doesn't appear to be a clean one.

The inclusion needs to be looked at and evaluated by a person.
It does look bad and eye visible vs2 inclusions are possible but it is not possible to draw a solid conclusion from the information presented.
An ASET would also help judge the cut.

 

[OoohShiny]

Am I correct in thinking that inclusions permitted under each grading level can be larger as the stone increases in size?

So a 0.5ct VS2 grade-setting inclusion would be smaller than a 2.0ct VS2 grade-setting inclusion?

If so, would that explain why the VS2 in this 4ct is seemingly quite obvious to the naked eye?

Thank you everyone for your inputs, I will request for an aset picture

I finally received the Aset images

This is a tough one to call based on the information provided.
The ASET confirms what I thought I was seeing in the video.
An in person look if possible might be good.
You could judge the inclusion and check out the stone.
