The plot thickens!<\/h2>\n

\nPeople LOVE to look at diamond plots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThey like to judge a diamond by looking at the map of inclusions<\/strong> and flaws, and use it to rule out some diamonds<\/strong> before they even see them with their own eyes.<\/p>\n

\nThe plot can’t tell you if the facets are rippled, wavy or blurry<\/strong> (which can really hinder light and appearance).<\/p>\n

\nBut more importantly, the flaws themselves…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s some examples:<\/h2>\n
