Are these 2ct+ diamonds eye clean and good value?



Q: Are these 2ct+ diamonds eye clean and good value?

 I think I have narrowed my search down to the below two:
2.06 H SI2

2.08 H SI1

Would both of those appear eye clean? How about the twinning wisps - is that something to worry about? They seem to be white and fairly small, even though they go through the table.
In terms of setting, would putting this in platinum cause any issue?
thanks!!

A:Yes, they're eye clean IMO.

Twinning wisps only become a major concern if they encompass more than a few % points of the diamond. As long as they aren't too close to the girdle it's usually fine.
Will look good in platinum.

Q: Thank you!! What do you mean "more than a few % points of the diamond" ? Do you mean specific locations (e.g. girdle) ?

A: Twinning wisps and feathers are breaks in the diamond. If they are too big they threaten the integrity of the stone. If they are near the girdle they risk getting larger if they are subjected to shock.
