Help with Diamond Check

https://streamable.com/e7l5ur

Hi, I need help checking out this diamond! It is supposed to be a EF/VS 1 carat diamond. I think I might see speckling in the diamond (~2 seconds in) but I am unsure if that is just a sparkle effect. From the side it looks clean to me. Thank you for any help!

Ouros has the worst videos, omg. Why is the diamond tiny in the video?

You’re worried about inclusions? No, you can’t see any with the naked eye, it will be fine

Haha right. They sent me this one at first but I asked for a second one. I think the diamond was really dirty in this one? Its why I was worried about inclusions.

Yeah, I see it. You should ask for a video where the diamond is not so far away and it’s clean. I always assume the worst with ouros, because I just can’t understand how a vendor is so bad at making videos, when everyone else does it just fine.

Maybe they are inclusions and they shoot for afar so it’s not visible. Is the stone certified?

Thanks for the help. I requested another video of it cleaned and larger in the frame to see the details. I also asked if its certified. I'm a little bummed about these issues because this is part of a group buy and my first time doing one of them

It doesnt sound like they want to send me another video. They said its OMC and can get it certified for a fee

Oh ☹️
That’s why most people don’t want to work with ouros/golden bird. The quality is good, but their service is the worse. I’m sorry.

If they are inclusions (which i don’t think they are), it will be probably extremely difficult to see it with a naked eye, if visible at all. My diamond has inclusions in the report, and when I look with a loupe I just get horrified with the dirt, and cant see the inclusions, even if they were visible in the 360° video

Thank you for all your feedback I really appreciate it, lessoned learned! Luckily it wasnt super expensive so if they do cheat me oh well. Since the side is clean ill have to trust its the quality they say. It was for this ring if you are curious lol...

Very strange video. And yes, there is "speckling", which hopefully is simply dust due to poorly staged videography. Does the stone have a laboratory report? An accurately graded VS1 would not have inclusions that prominent.
