white flash Clarity Question - crystal , feather, & Cloud

[alphagator]

Hello PSers,
I need some expert advice. I am looking for a stone from WihteFlash and I need some info on clarity. For a VS1 ACA Round stone from Whiteflash should I be concern about the cloud, crystal, and feather. I have read that feather might compromise on the structure(weaken) of the rock and is this true? Also is it safe to assume that the stone will be eye clean because it is a VS1 stone.

Most of the VS1 stone at white flash has cloud and crystal/feather and given a choice between a stone with only cloud and crystal and with a stone with only cloud and feather which one should I choose?

Can someone recommend an appraiser for me.



Thanks in advance for all your replies and help.

no worries at the VS1 clarity level. It will never be an issue and you will never see it. It is almost impossible to find even with a 10x magnification loupe.

If you want an appraiser to look at it, find one using this tool.

What Stone-cold said; the inclusions are so tiny that even a 10x loupe will struggle to see them.
I have no worries about VS inclusions of any type, because they''re so tiny.

If you wanted to be really picky, I suppose that a VS cloud would be least noticeable. But I''m not necessarily suggesting that clouds are always the best option because numerous or large clouds can seriously dampen light performance at lower clarity grades.

VS1 will usually be eyeclean ( although there can be exceptions depending on the vision of the viewer, size and shape of the diamond etc) and should not be prone to durability issues.

All looks good to me, like the hearts image of the 0.805c best, but that could be just image taking problem with the hearts.
