Will this SI2 clarity princess cut be eye clean?

[kev2cav]

I''m looking for some advice on this 1ct princess cut. I really like the specs, don''t mind that it''s a little rectangular, but am nervous that the low clarity will be very noticeable. Let me know what you think. http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?pid=LD00949208

there is really no way to tell from the plot. the inclusions could be big black boogers or undetectable white spots. good, eye clean si stones are hard to find. i wouldn''t take the risk of someone not being able to look at it first.

There''s a certificate on the link you''ve given, showing a map of the inclusions so maybe someone who knows more than I do can take a look.

Your best bet is just to give Blue Nile a call and ask them to examine the stone. If it''s in stock they should be able to do it quite quickly, otherwise they may need to order it in. Most stores are happy to check stones out for you before you buy to avoid the hassle of having goods returned all the time. Do bear in mind that definitions of ''eye-clean'' vary but if you discuss it with the sales rep you should be reassured whether or not you''ll be happy with the look.

Something to know about BN stones is that most (if not all?) are vitual, which means that you don''t have the option of someone "taking a look" for you.

How about this 1.06/I/SI2 from Whiteflash? http://www.whiteflash.com/princess/Princess-cut-diamond-2323748.htm#
The table is a bit large, but since it''s in house, you can have Brian take a look at it and give you a solid opinion.
Plus, with the PS discount, it should be a bit less than the BN stone.

I personally would not buy a 'drop shipped' SI2 stone - because there is a good chance inclusions at that clarity could be visible with the naked eye, and if no one can advise me of whether this is the case first, I wouldn't purchase the stone!!! (And no one who ain't lookin' at the diamond will be able to tell you!)
