Hi guys

I have been looking at various different stones and yesterday after examining this stone (GIA 17521948) decided to place an order. It is a .70ct E color SI1 with excellent cut, excellent polish and excellent symmetry. Even has H&A laser in scripted in the girdle. I have looked at the stone through 10x microscope and didn't really notice much other than a few round bubbles scattered throughout the stone. When viewing the stone through the naked eye I was not able to see anything because the stone was jumping around with sparkles. But, I am no expert and I have read some discussions here in this forum to avoid stones with cloud as the main characteristic may be "hazy or milky". I may have totally missed out to look for the stone to be milky but really could not tell especially through my naked eye. I was also viewing other stones but this one spoke out to me very loud and the price was just right.

With all that said, should this cloud characteristic on this stone be a concern when it is less than a carat?

Thanks guys...
 
if it looks good, it looks good. I doubt anyone is going to see the cloud in the setting and on her finger. It spoke to you, you've seen it first hand, you said the stone drew your attention and such. I'd say its good to go! but thats just me. E color its going to be so nice and icy white for one, and you've already said its not showing to the naked eye!
 
Thank you for your insight...makes me feel good about my purchase.... although I hope the diamond is not "milky" as I may have missed that part... what does cloud inclusion mean any way? Bubbles?
 
If it looked good to you in person- in all lighting and angles then I wouldnt worry.
