You have to know what you are buying. Always look at the clarity and color indicators. I got and I1 with an H. They sparkle and look great. For those who say they got a dull or bad diamond you need to look at what the color and clarity are and know before you buy. You can get some great looking stones for basment prices if you match the color and clarity right. Just becuse a stone has inclusions dosent make it a bad diamond and most can only be seen under 5x or 10x mag for 1/2cttw.
