I would want to see the grading report. Have you seen a plot for inclusions in this diamond?

Ah! I have not. I will get it from the retailer tomorrow and post it here.

Question - if it’s “eye clean”, do the inclusions matter in relation to the overall value? (I note that there are different ratings for “eye clean”)

 

[MissGotRocks]

In a GIA graded diamond, a VS1 should certainly be eye clean. However, I would always want to see the plot with inclusions. The value should be in the VS1 grade it received for clarity. Do they have any other images for the diamond or have you seen it in real life viewing?

it's probably eye clean if you don't have super unaided closeup vision but i'd like it better if it were more honestly graded vs2 or Si1....

Is the pricing closer to a vs2? I’m not really concerned about eye visible inclusions in a vs1 since I can’t even see inclusions in si2 stones, but value wise I would wonder about it. Also in the future it you needed the stone regraded for some reason — like 20 yr resale— it’s possible it could get a different grade.
