Hello All -
So, I have place an order for a custom ring but I am curious as to what is causing this "issue" that I have noticed. The stone in the link below is rated a "F" color and "VVS2" clarity so pretty high up there on the clarity scale. Can someone please help me understand what is making this stone look a bit "hazy" vs. others that are rated lower down the clarity scale? I am very confused with this.

I have even noticed this difference when comparing two stones that both have "no" fluorescence so I can rule that out as the driver of this.
Example of a stone that is a SI1 but appears to be "more clear" than the VVS2 above (eventhough there are clearly more visible inclusions): https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/1.71-carat-e-color-si1-clarity-sku-835909
Thank you for the help!
Regards!
