Diamond Query: Will this Slight Feather Be Visible to the Human Eye Without Magnification and Will a ‘J’ in Colour Be Suitable for a Platinum Setting?

Hi Sebastian,

Firstly I would just like to thank you for providing invaluable information on your website, its the most informative site on the internet by far.

I have selected the diamond below and was wondering whether you can reassure me that I have followed all the tips you mention on your site, I’m looking for immense sparkle from the stone.

Firstly on the report there is a slight feather that is highlighted on the edge of the stone, would this be visible to the human eye without magnification and also would a ‘J’ in colour be suitable for a platinum setting and then just your thoughts on the performance of the stone please.

Thank you for your inquiry. I am happy to help. And I am glad to hear that the information on my website has been so helpful! The diamond is eye-clean and the feather will not be seen. The diamond’s proportions/ angles are excellent.

As for the color, this is a very warm J color. It is warmer than other J color diamonds. Is the platinum ring setting from James Allen? A platinum setting will make a warm color diamond appear even warmer.

Thanks for the prompt response. The setting is from James Allen, its the 1.5mm comfort setting. When you say warm is that a bad thing?

Most people look for a diamond that is as white as they can afford. Meaning they want the diamond to have as little yellow/ brown tint as possible. A diamond with more yellow/ brownish tint is considered a “warmer” color.

Hi Sebastian,

I found this diamond and would like your opinion on it, I have come down in carat weight because James Allen said they can only mount up to 1.1 ct in the 1.5mm setting I like.

Can you please tell me if this stone is eye clean and does it meet all the criteria for it to shine bright like a diamond! I look forward to hearing from you!

The diamond from James Allen is perfect. It is eye-clean. It is a high “I” color, which means it is closer to an H color than a J color.

The crown and pavilion angles are perfect. And these are two important angles for the best light reflection. I would snatch this one up!

Thank you for verifying the stone for me, I’m just a little bothered by the inclusion on the table, would that not be noticed by the naked eye? Thank you!

You do not need to be the least bit concerned about the inclusion on the table being visible. 🙂
