SI2 pics

[ajdubya126]

Does anybody have any pics of an SI2? when I look at diamonds that are magnified I can definitely see the inclusions in SI2 and some SI1''s, but I just wanted to see how they look set and on a hand.

Here's my eyeclean SI2, F colour, 0.591 carat, X-factor from Whiteflash.

It's totally eyeclean. I can only see a tiny speck of inclusion when I stare really hard with the stone almost next to my eye, and tt's only cos I know where the inclusion is. I've had pple asking me if it's VVS1. The trick is to find a good eyeclean SI2. Not all SI stones are created equal. Never buy them drop shipped. You need to at least have a reliable person eyeball the stone if you're not gonna see it for yourself.

This might help.

Oh man I wish I wasn''t at work! I have a TOTALLY eye clean SI2 as well...I LOVE IT!! You cannot see anything, I took some really great UP CLOSE pics a couple days ago. I will upload and post when I get in tonight!

Woo, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my SI2! Here''s the link with details. After buying this stone, I''ll never be able to bring myself to spend the extra $ on anything above SI1 probably. I''m all about CUT and SIZE! https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-new-new-rings-wf-tiffany-knife-edge-solitaire-with-elaineh-inspired-modifications.63794/

Jen, please. Could you act a little more enthusiastically about SI stones, for the sake of the poster?

 

[angeline]

I mean come on Jen, what''s with all the negativity?

Anyway here''s my old SI2 which I no longer have, Never saw a thing.

Are you looking for/at a RB? Inclusions seem to be hid much more readily in the rounds... i have a completely eye-clean RB SI2 (from both the top & the sides). It takes a bit more work/time/patience to find one but if you work with a good vendor, they'll tell it like it is...
sorry I don't have any pics - i dont have a digi cam

ETA: you'll have to be infinately more patient to find an eye-clean fancy SI2 tho...

Here is the link to my SI2. I love it. I can barely see the inclusion.

SI stones. Definitely the best kept secret!

I have VS1's and VS2's but if I had to do it over again, I would absolutely look into eye clean SI's with fabulous cuts! They are hard to find, but WOW, what a find when you do! I've seen some incredible photos on PS!

Definitely the most bang for your buck!

[diamondringlover]

My pictures of my SI2 just stink, but my 1.01 princess cut is a SI2 and you see nothing but shine from the top view...from the side, well thats another story

Great thread... definitely time to revisit these killer SI stones!

My diamond is posted on the SI thread linked above, but I can''t resist posting another picture of it here! It''s an AGS-0, 2.36 RB, J/SI2. I swear, not only are SI''s a huge *SECRET* but so are the "lower color grades"! I am still soooo enchanted by my diamond... love the color, love the clarity, and oh baby babeeeee, I especially LOVE LOVE LOVE the SIZE!!!
