Getting worried: Please tell me these inclusions are normal

These are macro images of a I/ VS2/ 4.41 ctw pair of studs I had bought recently. In my mind I had done all the due diligence - H&A images, Idealscope, ASET, Gemex etc.

I took some macro images today and when I zoom in, I can some inclusions. Now I am guessing I am probably looking at 50x the zoom here and maybe it’s meant to be normal. At normal eye level diamonds are sparkly. Just want to check. I got a bit worried.

When was the last time you’ve cleaned these?

Well I got them only a week ago and my wife has worn them twice since then.

I’d try cleaning them and then take another look. Dust, oil, etc. build up quickly on diamonds. You mentioned no impact visually to the sparkle and performance, so I wouldn’t be concerned from that regard. Just think they need to be cleaned. Good luck!
 
I can’t see anything but if they’re only visible at 50x zoom I really wouldn’t worry. There are different definitions of eye clean but if they look ok to the naked eye (and no one will be getting that close to your wife’s ears) then it’s all good. Gorgeous earrings!
 
vs2 at 50x it would be a suprise if you didnt see something.
Yes it would be expected vs2 means something was visible at 10x.
 
Yes, at 50x, you should be very very worried, for your eyesight I mean, if you can't see anything. Don't worry. Yes, at 50X, normal to see something in a VS2.
 
If your wife has worn them twice - they’re most definitely grubby. Ditto @bps413. Give them a nice long gentle scrub with a toothbrush and some dishwashing detergent and I’ll wager the vast majority of what you’re seeing will disappear. Many of us clean our stones daily, as skin oils and hair product residues build up within hours.
