- Is SI2 clarity good enough for an engagement ring?
- SI2 is the lowest clarity grade that is still commonly sold in rings. Inclusions are easy to see under 10x magnification and this listing says they can be visible to the naked eye. Ask for close-up photos or video before buying, and check whether the main inclusion sits under a prong.
- Is D color worth paying for over F or G?
- D is the top colorless grade, but once a diamond is set, most people cannot tell D from F or G. If budget is tight, dropping to F or G color and keeping the excellent cut usually gives more visible sparkle for the money.
- Does an excellent cut make up for SI2 clarity?
- Cut drives brightness and fire, and excellent cut, polish and symmetry are the top grades. But cut does not hide inclusions. A well-cut SI2 can look lively, yet dark or central inclusions may still be visible.
- What does no fluorescence mean for this diamond?
- None means the stone does not glow under UV light. That is the safest choice for a D-color diamond, since strong fluorescence can sometimes make high-color stones look milky.
- Is $1,030 a good price for a 0.82 ct D SI2 diamond?
