\"Inclusions<\/div>\n

Bling Bling<\/h2>\n

\nOne of the coolest aspects about diamonds<\/strong> is the way that they handle light and reflect it around inside the stone, and then bounces that light back out in a beautiful array of brilliance and fire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s stunning!<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this same mathematical structure, faceting and angles that make a diamond so beautiful, is also the cause of some very interesting side effects…<\/strong><\/p>\n

It mirrors inclusions.<\/h2>\n

\nInclusions or flaws unfortunately fall prey to this wonderful reflection as well. If they are positioned in just the right spot<\/strong>, they can get caught up in the mirror effect.<\/p>\n

\nThey are called “reflector inclusions<\/strong>“!<\/p>\n

\nSo even though there’s only one <\/strong>inclusion, it suddenly makes it look like there’s more<\/strong>; 3 inclusions, 4 inclusions… All the way up to 16. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s like a crazy fun house full of mirrors.<\/h2>\n

\nAnd if have a lot of flaws inside the stone, it can really make those inclusions fill the entire stone. It will look really included.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nLet’s take a look at some real diamond examples<\/strong> so you can see exactly what I’m talking about…<\/p>\n

\n\"Example<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Inclusions<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Diamond<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Inclusions<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Repeated<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Inclusion<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"Diamond<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

And, you can’t tell this by the plot…<\/h2>\n

\nThe funny thing about all of this, is the fact that if you looked at the diamond plots<\/a> of these stones, of course, they wouldn’t show you the interesting mirrored inclusions<\/strong>. They’ll show just the one. Like in this great example<\/strong> below…<\/p>\n

\n\"Inclusions<\/a><\/p>\n

You See those two flaws in the center of the stone?<\/h2>\n

\nThey get repeated multiple times all the way around the diamond. It looks like the stone has tons of flaws. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nHere’s what the actual diamond plot<\/strong> of that stone looks like…<\/p>\n

\n\"Compare<\/a><\/p>\n

This is why it’s important to view diamonds with your own eye<\/strong>, and not just go by what a diamond report<\/a> says.<\/p>\n

\nSure the plot can help you locate the flaws<\/strong> and tell you how many there really are inside the stone, but until you see them with your own two eyes, you’ll never know how they can affect the overall beauty of the diamond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now you know.<\/h2>\n

\nAre you seeing spots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIf so, look at SI1 clarity diamonds instead<\/a>. Those flaws are eye-invisible!<\/p>\n
