Need your opinion/thoughts on my first purchase! 0.9ct F/VS2

[hsiehjon]

Hi guys, I'm new to diamonds so I would like your inputs before I make this purchase. The diamond I am currently looking at is a round brilliant 0.9ct F/VS2 ex/ex/vg and has a feather inclusion. Should I be worried about this inclusion? I also entered in the table/depth/CA/PA into the HCA tool and it scored a 0.9. The link below is the diamond. Please let me know what you guys think, thanks!

On paper that diamond looks fine, and the HCA score is below 2, so that too is good.

For a VS2 diamond, the feather will not pose a durability risk nor is it likely it would be easily eye-visible, but as the GIA report does not include a plot, we do not know where the feather is located. You may want to ask BN where the feather is located and whether it is eye-visible.

For me personally, I would go to Very Good on Polish, but I would stay at Excellent for Symmetry - but there are others who would be okay with Very Good for Symmetry as long as the Cut was Excellent.

Are you buying this diamond loose? If so, BN has an excellent return policy, so it would be worthwhile for you to buy it and examine it in person under different lighting conditions to see if it meets your standards.

Thank you for your quick response! And yes, I am purchasing this diamond loose and just contacted BN about the location of the inclusion.

So the inclusion is on the outer edge and can only be seen from one of the facets. Should I be worried about the symmetry? What do you guys think

So it is eye clean or no?

Yes, the diamond in a general as a whole is eye-clean (according to the person who is helping me). Should I be worried about the feather that is located near the outer-edge of the diamond?
