Without pics it is very difficult to say anything...

Something like this is the best you can do with those proportions: http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.78-carat-I-color-SI1-clarity-Very-Good-cut-sku-196854

Hi JulieN,

Thanks for your reply.

I have managed to request for a photo but this is what given.

According to the shop:
"The attached image of the diamond is NOT taken under the Hearts and Arrow scope. It is taken under magnification scope. Magnification scope is not held at a perfect parallel angle with the crown surface of the diamond"




From the GIA Cert mentioned "Clarity Characteristics : Feather"
Do you think the middle line is the feather inclusion?

I think it looks good. I'd ask about that feather though and make sure it won't be an issue...

 

[JulieN]

Probably it is the feather, it is a very small feather. I think it looks fine. I would try to maximize the amount of thin girdle that is covered by prongs.

The shop mentioned "the feather is the furthest away from the girdle."
That should sounds safe, shouldn't it?

Is that the normal amount of feather inclusion for VS2?
i actually expect bigger amount of feather inclusion since the "Clarity Characteristics only stated Feather"

 

[JulieN]

It is possible there is more than one feather, as reports do not tell you how many, just what they are... Anyway, Vs2 feather in a half carat is no cause for worry.

Yeah, it should be fine.
