While color D would be a very clear diamond, a clarity grade of VS-2 is only
one step above "coal" and would hardly be considered "excellent clarity".
An oval cut diamond of clarity VS-2 may be less than exciting.

Just a little note about buying jewelry on usenet.

"One step above coal"???  Doesn't the rating go:

I, SI, VS1, VS2, VVS1, VVS2, IF, F?

This would put VS2 a few steps above "coal".

Not defending the original poster's price - which I think is about
50% too high, just don't want folks with VS2 to feel bad.

A diamond with D-colour and clarity VS-2 may be an excellent diamond depending 
on where the inclusions are located on the stone.  Generally, colour and cut 
are far more important to the "look" of a stone than clarity (unless, of 
course, you can actually see the inclusions).  If the stone in question has a 
good make, there would be little difference to the naked eye between a D-colour
diamond with VS-2 clarity, and a D-colour diamond with VVS1 clarity.

By the way, VS-2 isn't one step above "coal".  I believe there are 3 grades 
below VS-2 (namely, I-1, I-2, and I-3).  VS-2 is still in a "good" range 
for jewelry because you cannot see the inclusions with the naked eye, but you
are correct that VS-2 is not considered "excellent clarity".
