Is it for an e-ring?

It was in response to the comment about the SI1 being a better balance of specs for price.

I wasn't sayingbl she should buy an si1. I was using a personal experience to say both are good opinions but offer different looks, so its a matter of balancing budget and preferred specs.
Have you seen inclusions in stones of this cut quality or are you basing that on these images? Because these images are at 40x magnification.Kalliope|1421852338|3819837 said:#2 is my favourite as it's a nice size at a decent price. As I am selecting some stones for DBF to choose from I don't want to go too high up in price (though he would even buy me the classic Tiffany for a lot more if I wanted one). So I guess I'll show him #4 as a " budget friendly" alternative .
ame,
You're right. Unfortunately I can see inclusions very easily, so I have chosen only VS2 or higher clarity.
