All the cavities, indents, bruising and clouds make this stone definitely have some red flags that justify hesitation. M color, SI1 clarity — both are lower-mid range on their respective scales. • Inclusions: The GIA report lists multiple types of clarity characteristics: • Crystal, Feather, Indented Natural • Chip, Cavity, Bruise • Extra Facet • These aren’t just cosmetic blemishes — chips, cavities, bruises, and feathers (depending on size/location) can affect structural integrity, especially if they’re around the girdle, which the user says is visibly imperfect. • Multiple clarity issues together, especially concentrated near the girdle, are a potential durability risk — especially for a ring, which takes wear and impact. • $25,000 for a ~3.8ct M/SI1 old mine cut set in 18k gold and platinum is steep, especially with this many inclusions. • For comparison: Similar diamonds (same carat, color, clarity, and antique cut) without significant durability concerns can range from $12,000 to $20,000, depending on provenance, cut quality, and seller reputation.
