I’m looking at buying this diamond and wanted a professional opinion. I haven’t seen it outside, but the floresence inside didn’t seem to be a big deal. It was clear and sparkly compared to other diamonds I saw. My only concern is the cavity. Is this a big deal due to the location and VS1 clarity?
My understanding is it isn’t a big deal at all. Please help! I had the jeweler place the diamond in the wedding set I’m purchasing.

| Thank you for your inquiry. I am happy to help! The cavity does not need to be a concern due to the location and the clarity grade, you are correct!
Feel confident with your purchase! The ring and diamond look beautiful! |

I’m definitely feeling more confident. Do you believe $19,000 is a good price for this diamond?
I was a little worried about the medium blue floresence but read it can be hit or miss on diamonds with the color grade this one has.
Also, with the cavity, should I worry about dirt and oil being trapped inside?

| You do not need to be concerned about dirt and oil with the cavity.
Regarding fluorescence, this is nothing to worry about. As long as you don’t mind seeing a possible blue glow under UV light. There are articles that say fluorescence can make a high color grade diamond, such as an E color diamond appear hazy, however it is rare….and if you don’t see it with this one, then you have nothing to be concerned about. As for the price, of $19K for the diamond is a reasonable price for a local retail store. Just for your information, I did find a very similar diamond on JamesAllen.com, for $17,270, take a look at diamond sku 2211532:

What about this diamond? (https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=6261409380)
Are the feathers a big deal? I was shown this today and the lady seems to think I’ll like it more.

| The feathers are a non-issue. The GIA report looks good. At this point, it just comes down to which one you prefer. |
