I am thinking about having this diamond brought in to see for a possible upgrade from my 0.81 F GIA EX (VS1).
HCA Score is 1.1 EX EX EX VG
Why am I looking to upgrade? Because I want that magic 1 ct. mark now and something about my diamond just doesn't make my heart go pitter patter like my old .53 AGS0. Also my birthday is at the end of May - what else would a self respecting PS girl want for her birthday other than something that sparkles?
One big concern on this one is whether it would be eye clean (see link below). I know none of us can be sure till we see an Si1 in person and some people can see things better than others - but I thought I would ask your valued opinions. There are some G VS2 AGS0 available but I like the icy whiteness of my F (my .53 was an E). DH might push towards one of G diamonds though because once he looks in the loupe he doesn't like to see a lot of inclusions. The G diamonds are at least $500 more which is at the high end of my budget. Right now I can't afford to look at E or F one carat diamonds in VS1 or VS2 clarity.
They do have another F Si1 for the exact same price and same HCA score with less inclusions - it is listed as an AGS0 not one of the Platinum diamonds.
