Anything about this clarity plot raise red flags?

[ksluice]

Hi folks, and happy Sunday!

I’ve had a bit of a plot twist in my journey to my “you made it to 50!” aka “Age is just a number” aka “Don’t you wish you aged like a diamond?” aka “Sparkles make things better” gift. That plot twist is the possibility of a different stone.

Before I make any further steps, could folks take a gander at this GIA report, and in particular the clarity plot. Anything here raise any concerns? I have a hard time telling what is an “extra facet” v what is a “natural” (also out of curiosity, when dealing with an older stone are “extra facets” chips?)—and while VS2 would generally make me think none of these would effect the integrity of the stone, I just thought you wise folks might be able to assure me that my assumption isn’t off?

Thank you to everyone who has helped educate me along the way. Your words and thoughts have been more appreciated than you know.

I found advice through searching on PS that needles that touch the girdle from the pavilion aren’t an issue? Is the one on the crown too small to be concerned about stone integrity?

Hoping the same goes for the natural (I finally found it!): too small to be of concern on the corner?

And finally, and this is more just aesthetics/knowledge, given this is an old stone I expect some abrasion on the girdle, do you think those extra facets are chips that were polished out as part of a pre-Trip to the GIA rehab, or would GIA call areas of abrasion/chip an extra facet?

Sorry for the length of my original post, I was overcome with excitement.

Just popping back to thank you Sprinkles&Stones! The dealer answered me to say that the extra facets were likely in response to the rough, and original. So, I’m doing it, and super excited. Thanks for sharing my excitement today! I needed a little nudge.

Cheers, K.

Yay! Thanks MillieLou! I am still amazed I switched, but I felt sick when I saw this stone because it hit me that this was the one, not the other. But this one does mean I have to go through the whole process of designing a ring, so I’ll definitely be asking advice on that. I am thinking French cut traps.

Is there a link to pictures or videos that I'm missing? I cant see how anyone could think its "beautiful" without seeing
pictures, videos, aset images etc.

Can you post the links, please or, point me to where they are?

I agree it is a wholly unsatisfactory post. I will most assuredly post pictures just as soon and the sale is all officially complete. Hopefully, tomorrow.
