I bought my fiance a 2.48ct E color VS2 diamond (graded by GIA).
There is an inclusion (a feather I think) that is visible to the naked eye when looking at it on the side with it angled properly to the light (it seems to be on the girdle). Is this normal? I''ve heard that VS2s aren''t supposed to have visible inclusions, but I''ve also heard that the larger the stone, the more visible the inclusions. I''ve also heard that GIA only does their grading from the top of the stone which makes this inclusion invisible to the naked eye
I don''t mind the inclusion that much. My fiance is aware of it and we both feel it makes the ring more recoginzable to us. You could never see it unless you knew how to look for it and took the ring off her finger. My bigger concern though is that it wasn''t a correct grading of the diamond. The whole VS2 visible thing.
As you can imagine this stone cost me quite a bit of money. Her ring is beautiful and she gets millions of compliments on it, but for my own sanity I was curious for some of the thoughts of the experts here. Thanks in advance.
