Cloudy appearance through table of brilliant round/tilt?

[Mace]

After a huge amount of searching and research trying to get it all right. I thought I had finally found the one however I keep seeing a cloudiness through the table (57) that I do not understand especially when I tilt it. Kindly help me understand what this is please?

2.59Ct
VS2, Appears Clean - 3 Pinpoint under the table however I struggled to view them with a loupe.

Is it quite a heavy setting? Who is the grading report from as I don't recognise it. It will not be to do with clarity or fluorescence. Are you sure the stone is immaculately clean? I like using denture tablets soak, rinsed with boiled kettle water and polished with a lens cloth... Only other things I can think are the colour, which is unlikely. Most likely for me is either the cleanliness or some reflections from the setting (providing your grading report is accurate)...

Tiffany graded so one would presume that it is graded accurately. The setting is "The Tiffany". They said it is eye clean and certainly from the grading report, the pinpoints are minimal compared to other VS2's I have viewed elsewhere and on the net. Due to thin it could be because it only has a very good polish? From all my reading a Very good polish and an excellent one is quite negligible.

Cutting almost certainly has nothing to do with what you're seeing. The first suspect is overall cleaning. Fingerprints and other schmutz can do this, especially on the back side of the stone. Clean it thoroughly or have them do it. Did you buy this from Tiffany or some 3rd party? The next suspect is that VS2 grade. There's no way to tell if that's an issue without looking at it but you might consider using an independent appraiser here. Overall transparency is only indirectly part of the clarity grade but can sometimes be a problem. The amount of ink on the plotting diagram has nothing to do with it. That's a map, not an illustration.

Diamonds are oil magnets, I would suggest taking it to your nearest Tiffany for a clean and reevaluate then. The setting is lovely and timeless, the specs of the stone are great, but also consider that even the most "ideal" stones will look a bit off in certain lighting or angles, they don't just sparkle like mad in all viewing conditions.

I did take it to be cleaned by Tiffany and I still see the haze through the table at certain tilts.

"Certain tilts", you are worrying too much. You can make any stone look bad by looking at it from a certain angle.

You are probably seeing a prong reflection or perhaps a table and/or girdle reflection at certain angles.

Can you clarify what that means? The red ink just shows the location but it's possible that the inclusion is actually longer(laterally) than the red mark? I can see how the inclusion could run through the depth of the stone and would not be shown on the 2d map.





As for the OP perhaps they could post a pic or video of what they are experience. Granted it can be very difficult to capture with a camera.

What the diagram is for is to show the location and type of the inclusions but not really the size or even so much the number. That's why I equate it to a roadmap. The width of the line on the paper is only very indirectly an indication of the width of the actual road.

Take it back and complain. They're a very customer centric company and if you're not happy with it, there's a pretty good chance they'll arrange to give you a different one. At the same time, they probably have a microscope and can tell you what you're seeing.

Do tiffany certs typically disclose internal graining? That would seem to be the inclusion that appears hazy and only at certain angle.

Interesting point, but Tiffany would reject diamonds with excessive internal graining.

I had trouble uploading some images, it appears I can only add one at a time, here is the first. One face up and one tilt. Maybe this will help seek answers...

 

[Mace]

Quite frustrating but i am unable to upload any more images due to " Extension not allowed".

It looks like a beautiful ring. I think if you turn and tilt a ring in many different ways you can see through the table into the side of the stone and see what you are describing. I'm guessing that what you are seeing is completely normal but would love to see a picture of it.
