[Kidkat]

Dear all users:
Would you please kindly advice what questions or concerns should I ask JA about this diamond? per JA rep: it is a eye clean SI2. I am very close in buying this one. Do you think if it is a good choice? Thanks all! And this forum is very informative, love it!

I personally could not handle large feathers (cracks) as the primary inclusion in an SI2, but that's just me. I'd far rather have an F-G-H SI1 or VS2 with less significant inclusions. I'd also be sure to ask if it is eyeclean from the sides if it is going to be set in a solitaire setting where the sides are open. The cut of the stone looks nice.

It looks like a nice stone except for the feathers. I will go to SI2 for clarity, but usually only for twinning wisps. SI2 feathers for me would cause me concern. Do any of them break the surface? If they do then, absolutely not.
