I am looking at a diamond that a feather in it and I wanted a little advise. Do you think the feather is anything to worry about? The feather is on the right sida at 3 o'clock. I was told that the "feather does not reach the girdle and will not cause any durability issues when mounting this diamond" and the diamond "faces up 100% eye clean". Can anyone confirm this? From the picture the diamond looks close to perfect. Why is it an SI2? What do you think about the value?

The specs are:
Shape: Round
.78 carat
Excellent Cut
F Color
SI2 Clarity
depth: 60.6%
table: 57%
polish: very good
symmetry: very good
girdle: medium
culet: none
fluorescense: none
measurements: 5.98*6.01*3.63
GIA Certificate
Price: $2500
See attached image of the diamond and the report.

I did find a similar diamond that does not have a feather in it but has a cloud instead. Do you think diamond 2 would be more desirable?

Specs:
0.77 carat
excellent cut
E color
SI2
GIA
61% depth
57% table
very good polish
excellent symmetry
fluorescense: none
price: $2400

In terms of value, it seems okay to me. In terms of your question about the feather, it's unlikely that the feather would cause a durability problem. However, it is really necessary to eyeball the diamond to answer this for sure.

In the pictures you posted stone #1 looks better to me than #2.
