Would a vs2 be clean to the naked eye though?

What are the crown and pavilion angles? http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca
It’s a 60/60 diamond, which some people love and some people don’t. http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/news/6060-ideal-cut-diamond/

As cmbr indicated, Without knowing the other angles, it’s almost impossible to say. A 60/60 diamond could perform very well, or not so well. The GIA rated it “ideal” cut, but their parameters for that are a lot looser than some other labs.

bento11: A GIA VS2 shouldn’t ever have visible inclusions. I have a VS2 and can’t find anything with a 30x loupe.

I’m not sure how to tell what’s good and what’s bad but that’s the proportions!!

bento11: a vs2 will be eye clean for sure you would need a loop to find anything in it. I saw you’re thread earlier about the si1 and si2 can you request a photo? Either way I think you’ll be fine with the vs2 but is the color I what you really want?

The other diamond option I have has similar specs But priced 200 dollars more:
.90, ideal cut, 610 X 616 X 387, everything else same as the previous diamonds except also has a “feather” in the characteristics of clarity.
would the 57 % table And 63.2 % table be a better option than 60/60 ?

bellaamore523: yes I’m currently in the process of having them send me a photo! i will post as soon as they send me! As for the I colour I think I rather have that and still get a vs2 rather than an SI1 or SI2.. It’s going in 18k gold hopefully it will be okay!

I would absolutely not buy that first diamond. You can run the numbers through the calculator yourself, but it scores a 5.7 on the HCA. Anything under 2 is ideal. I understand that not everyone is in the market for a superideal diamond, but that one really doesn’t score well.
