If one of the flaws is a "chip"

[adom]

Reviewing a listing of a stone which is a VVS1 that only has two flaws. One is a pinpoint and the other is labeled a "chip" that is a tiny red mark right on the girdle. How big of deal is that vs an "indented natural". It sounds bothersome, but of course it would be placed under a prong. Would that be a deal breaker or not?

Probably shouldn't cause a structural issue in a vvs1 stone. However I don't like chips and the price would have to be adjusted accordingly before I would consider it.

thanks solgen

at vvs1 everything would be very minute of course. and pose no risk to structure or beauty. It's just an undesirable clarity characteristic and may trade 2-5% discount over a stone that doesn't have this clarity characteristic.

Greatleo, thanks for the further clarification about the clarity rating with that flaw and for explaining how the price would be impacted.
