Argyle SIAV clarity?

[susiegrneyes]

Does anyone know what SIAV is an abbreviation for? I recently saw it on an argyle certificate for a clarity rating, but haven't been able to figure out the meaning. Thank you!

Slight Inclusions Absolutely Visible?

Slight inclusions at vortex? Lol.
Seriously, for a pink diamond, clarity is at best a tertiary concern.

I know clarity isn't a major concern and I was really just curious since all my internet searches have turned up nothing. I wonder if it has something to do with being too small to grade kind of like GIA doesn't assign clarity grades to stones under .15.

I don't like to bug the pros but @oldminer or @denverappraiser might be best placed to advise on this!

I believe SI AV stands for SI Average, you can see it spelled out with this stone's listing: https://www.hopediamonds.com.au/product/argyle-round-diamond-0-13-ct-9p/

Maybe you're on the right track in thinking that below a certain ct weight, they're just using a general "SI" grade, vs. breaking out into SI1 and SI2.

Ah, nice find @elizabethess! I tried but couldn't find anything.
