Should I buy this diamond? round0.9ct, H, SI2, excellent cut

[tombeetom]

Hi...I would really appreciate any opinions on the below diamond. I want a diamond that looks stunning but my budget is only $3400.

I am looking for 1ct diamond and settled on 0.9ct to reduce the cost. What are your thoughts on the below diamond that fits my budget? I also attached the certification report. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

GIA 1159396955
Round Brilliant
6.20 - 6.24 x 3.77
0.9carat
Color = H
Clarity = SI2
Cut = excellent
Polish - excellent
Symmetry = excellent
Fluorescence = none
Girdle = medium to slightly thick (faceted) 4.0%

Is it eyeclean? Cause it has one grade setting inclusion at SI2 and it's a crystal... there's a high chance it's not going to be eyeclean. And that's a deal breaker for me.

And since it is under a carat, there is no clarity plot.

So I gotta tell you, I wouldn't buy it without images and an assurance that it is eyeclean to your standards.

Hi Gypsy...thanks for replying. Is indication of eye clean normally reported on the certification? Where can I obtain this information?

It isn't... Who are you looking at buying it from? An online vendor presumably? Have you been talking to them?

For this diamond, I am looking to purchase from Solomon Brothers. I haven't contacted them yet, but if clarity plots or indication of eye clean is not available on the certification is there really anything the vendor can do reassure me if I am purchasing online?

On a separate topic...is Solomon Brothers a reputable online vendor?

Well Solomon Brothers is an advertising vendor on here. So they are held to a certain standard. So yes, you can call and speak to the gemologist (if they have one that you can talk to, most of our other vendors do) and ask if it is eyeclean. Do not suprised if it is not, the changes are high that it is not.

I personally do not recommend them because A) I have no experience with them and B) they don't provide images and idealscopes.

I think there are better vendors for diamonds. Those that provide you with what you need to make an educated purchase. That's why they are routinely recommended here and have rave reviews:

Here's an example of what these vendors offer:
1) Magnified Images of the stone
2) Idealscope images to verify light performance.
3) Gemologists that can examine the stones to tell you how it performs (and who understand performance) and how clean it is.

Here is what I mean:
