I received my engagement ring yesterday. Today I noticed that there was, for a lack of better words, "line" in the middle of the pavilion when looking at the diamond profile (without using a loupe). Is this a visible inclusion that I am seeing? When I look at the diamond face-up though, I don''t see anything (with and without a loupe). I was planning to have it appraised, but if this is something significant, I might just return it and put in a different diamond.

Pics were taken through the loupe that was provided with the ring for magnification. I drew orange arrows to the area of concern. Thanks for your help.

Loki, it''s okay. What you''re seeing is called a girdle reflection. Do a search and you''ll see how many people have seen this same phenomenon and scared the pants off themselves!

Oh, good lord. Thank you for the fast response!! Definitely put my mind at ease. I thought it was a huge crack or something haha.
 
On the up side...

You have really mastered the art of taking great photos! Well done.
 
It is indeed girdle reflection, many times we get worried posters asking about this, its normal!
