They are either clarity enhanced or I1-I2 and a lower color at that price. They wouldn't sell them for that if they were worth $25k, I promise. My .75 each, H VS2 pair cost $6000 a couple of years ago, but top cut quality and good quality stones was my highest priority. If I wanted more size, my absolute limit would be J S11, but I'd still have to have excellent cut. And $13,700 is what ONE 1.7 J SI1 costs!

You can always get an appraisal on the stones during your return period to find out exactly what you have. But stones that size don't sell uncertified if they are good stones. A recut might not help them at all if they have clouds, etc.
Fully agree with diamondseeker. This vendor has more than one set of large stones to sell. He knows what he's doing. My hunch - clarity enhanced and/or treated.
I don't think any reputable cutter will touch a non-eye clean, treated stone for a recut. Send them back if you don't like them.
