Hi, I'm new to buying diamonds and was wondering if I could get some advice. I've read a few articles online regarding what to look for and am considering purchasing this diamond: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.61-carat-j-color-i1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-368299 (currently on hold). The diamond is going to be for a promise ring with a 6-prong solitaire setting. The inclusions on it are quite large, although I was told that it might still be eye-clean, especially if a prong is used to mask one of the inclusions. According to the GIA report one of the inclusions is "feather" so I was wondering if it is a durability risk since it's so large and close to the edge? If it's not a durability risk, would it be okay to have a prong over it? Or would it be better for the prong to be next to the inclusion? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
I would doubt that it is eye clean. The feather might be a durability risk. I personally would pass on this diamond.
 
If this is for a ring stone, I would not get an I clarity stone period for a ring. And no, I don't think that is eyeclean or safe, though the gemologist at JA would be the best to advise you of that.
