Feather on the outside edge... risky business?

[sundevil16]

To all of the experts out there:

Please take a look at this Ideal-scope image and tell me your thoughts. It is a GIA VS-2 princess cut diamond, but it''s flaw is a feather on the upper, outside edge. Should I be worried about this? Will it expand? Would you spend 13 K on a diamond with this flaw?

Any help is appreciated....

IS looks good.
The feather is vs2 and far enough from the corner I dont think its an issue.

Thank you for taking the time to reply....

I guess that begs the question of how close to the corner does it need to be to become an issue?

If it was closer to the corner would that increase the odds of it expanding?

I dont know but I know when I see it lol
I dont like inclusions near the corners in princess cuts.
That one isnt what id consider near.
From what iv heard from the princess cut experts around here I dont think they would see it as an issue either.

Dont worry about expanding..., just a fact that the Princess cut sharp corners are prone to chipping..., especially when set with prongs!

Okay... so all the experts out there wouldn''t not pull the trigger becuase of this alone. Thank you.

You say it is prone to chipping... is there a way to set the diamond that it is less likely to chip ot os it just a fact of life?
