Surface Reaching Feather

This 1.32 carat G color VS2 diamond shows a feather that reaches the surface near the edge of a pavilion facet. While the clarity grade remains high, the inclusion breaks the surface in a structurally sensitive spot. Feathers in this area can act as weak points if the diamond is hit or set with excessive pressure. Although many feathers are harmless, when they appear at points or girdle junctions, it is worth evaluating the diamond closely through video and consulting the clarity plot to confirm placement and severity.
