Mysterious inclusion

She noticed that there seems to be a line which looks like an inclusion that is parallel to the table and about 1/2 way between the girdle and the facet. There certainly should not be any major visible inclusions, but I am wondering if this could be a reflection from the setting or something else that is perfectly normal. I saw the stone before they set it, and I assume they set the stone I selected, but I guess you never really know for sure. Any ideas, or should I just take it to a jeweler to double check? Do jewelers usually charge for that and if so how much?

It's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about! If you do a PS search on girdle reflection you'll find a lot of very similar posts, some with pictures of the reflection. I do hope you'll be sharing pics of your lovely ring! x x x
