Finding the Right Diamond - AGS Ideal SI2 thoughts?

[Noah Hersch]

Hello!

Trying to find a round natural diamond under 30k that is preferably AGS ideal. Came across this diamond on whiteflash that isn’t ACA but AGS ideal. Thoughts? Hard to tell if it would be eye clean w/ just wisps and feathers. Trying to figure out if it is worth bump up to 31k for a ACA diamond that is 2.5ct like this one instead.

Thanks all for the input!

That would be a no on the first one...too many inclusions that IMO would affect the brilliance. I'd much rather go smaller than
deal with all those inclusions.

Talk to WF and see if they can make any suggestions.

A quick google search found this for diamond 1:

If this is actually diamond 1, this would be a hard pass for me.

I wouldn't consider diamond #1.

Thanks All! Seems like SI2 shouldn’t be a consideration. Will start the search at SI1.

Whoops, missed that. In any event it does appear to be the same diamond, which would be a pass for me, simply based on the inclusions. Thanks @tyty333

Not all SI2s are no-no’s so don’t totally take that out of the equation in your search.
