Hi everyone! Long time lurker but first time poster. I am currently in the market for an OEC that will be set in an engagement ring and have identified a potential option. All of the specs (color = N, clarity = VS1, size = 2.9 carats) are exactly what we are looking for in the stone (pictures attached). Unfortunately, the GIA report (also attached) shows that the stone has a cavity, which looks like it's at the top of the pavilion right under the girdle (but that's from a novice's perspective).
From everything I have researched, cavities seem to be a big no-no when buying a diamond but most of this information has been about round brilliants/modern cuts and I am curious if the "buyer beware" advice applies to an OEC/this particular stone's cavity. If it helps with the evaluation, we are planning on setting it in a bezel! Any and all advice here is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
