I'm in a process of buying two 0.60+ ct GIA EX diamonds for earrings. I'm a bit sceptical because they are I1 clarity and inclusion might been seen.

The diamonds are

Do you see anything alarming with these diamonds? GIA Dossier report does not tell me where the flaws are. Hopefully if I can't see the flaws in pictures, I won't see them in person.

wow. so clean for I1. Curious of the price. I think they are good choices.

The 0.62 ct is $1,170 and 0.65 ct is $1,290 after pricescope discount.

They are quite lovely, malnik. Like you, I'm curious about why these stones constitute a grading of I1. Hopefully there aren't any hidden inclusions that would cause the diamonds to be structurally unsound. I'd definitely speak with your sales rep and a JA gemologist, and ask about the reason for such a low clarity grade. Most likely they'll be fine, but better safe than sorry.

Best of luck!Can't wait to see the final product!

Have you asked JA to exam the stones (eg, location of the feathers) for you? I got a 0.59 G/SI2 True Heart from them at around 1500 with all discount. Under X10 I can see the feathers for sure. But not with my eye in one feet.

I think it will be a good deal that for only $2500 you will get almost 1.3 cttw H/I1 earrings which will beat any pair from malls. Bluenile uses I/SI2 for their pre-set which will cost 5000 for a pair of 1.5 ct tw.
