Diamond Query: Difference Between an E and F Color, and Eye-Cleanliness of SI1 vs. VS2


| Anonymous Reader


Thank you for your webpage, it’s so useful. Would like your opinion regarding a diamond we are considering buying – is there anyway you can check if it’s eye clean?

GIA certificate number = 2267991513

 

GIA Certificate Number 2267991513 2

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for your inquiry. I am happy to help. My apologies for my delayed response.

My guess is that it will most likely be eye-clean. The only inclusion in question is the crystal inclusion. But you won’t know unless you see the diamond.

Is this diamond from an online retailer?  Do you have a link I could look at?

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks so so much for your reply. It’s not from an online retailer but I have a few pictures of it.. Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Oh, so, you have seen this diamond in person? It looks eye-clean from the photos you provided. Does the retailer say it is eye-clean?

Yes the retailer said it is eye clean – should I go with it?

Oh good. What is the price?

The price is 9602 dollars. Alternatively I can get an E colour 1.4ct (GIA number 6282093142) for 10,261 dollars

Which one would you recommend? Both supposedly eye clean. By the way it is very kind of you to help a complete stranger!

Definitely stick with the F, SI1. You will not see the difference between an E and F color. And the SI1 and VS2 will both be eye-clean.

In addition the diamonds are basically the same size, if you compare their millimeter measurements. It is my pleasure helping you!

Thanks so much.

There are not many people out there that would help someone so seriously I can’t express how much I appreciate it! I was never even expecting a reply to be honest so thanks 🙂
