Would you be comfortable with this feather?

Hi all, my BF and I have been lurking here for a while learning as much as possible, and we're finally past the 'overwhelmed with info' stage and are now down to decision stage.

I've read the PS article about durability risks of feathers (https://www.pricescope.com/journal/diamond_feather_inclusions_durability_risk) and am reasonably comfortable that the feather in this stone is small enough and not touching the edge to cause too much panic, but still would like to get some other opinions from the PS community, seeing as this is the first diamond we'll have ever bought!

The feather is on the underside diagram, on the bottom left. This is a 0.9 VS2 and will be set in a 6-prong solitaire setting. Would you be confident with this stone or would you worry that a knock in the wrong place could be an issue?

Thank you in advance!

I would be comfortable that feather, or likely any feather in a VS stone.

That feather has survived the cutting process and white hot friction heat, it is not likely to open further during normal wear.

I would be comfortable with that feather.

Thank you both for your comments, that's good to know this shouldn't be a concern.
