Help with Clouds

[tarac]

Hello,

I am considering the stone below, but am concerned about the large clouds. I verified the AGS report on the AGS website and it seems the the clouds are fairly substantial. I assume the clouds won’t be visible but does anyone have some sage counsel on whether they will diminish brilliance, fire, and sparkle?

Set up an appointment to talk to Brian about the stone on the phone.
It would be a lot of fun and educational.

I second Karl's sentiment. There is something really fun about talking to an expert who knows the personality of the diamond and can speak about it directly.

Thanks for the advice, I will follow up on it.

I was concerned about generalized diminishment of light return. I suspect the large cloud regions circled on the report are areas where several smaller clouds are, but I have heard things like: clouds that cover a quarter of the diamond can reduce light return.

It is more cloud density that is going to impact light return rather than size.
A smaller cloud with more inclusions can have a larger impact than a larger one with fewer inclusions.
Ask Brian about it.

Yes, most definitely talk to Brian about it. He will give you an honest assessment of the stone. I do not believe the cloud will be an issue or have a negative impact on performance; it is a Black afterall.

That’s a good point. He has it in front of him and can let me know. I saw these giant circles and that there were additional clouds and thought it might all be too much. I guess clouds are complex!

They are.
I know that myself and many others here would consider it an honor to speak to Brian about a diamond.
If it can be arranged your in for a treat.

Yup, fun to talk with Brian. I Learn something new about diamonds every time after I spoke with him.
