What are these blurs?

[bearycute]

I'm just dipping my toes into lab diamonds, and have found a few EC diamonds with these blurs. IGI cert says polish is excellent, so it isn't a shoddy polish job. Is this internal to the diamond? It's CVD, if that matters? The diamond is also graded VS1, so it isn't an "inclusion"?



Link to video of diamond since it's a bit hard to tell in still photos.

Here's another diamond with similar, but this one is more "streaky" in appearance.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, bearycute!
Looks like CVD graining, to my eyes.
If severe enough, then they can have a negative impact on the optics.

You can definitely see it in the video.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

How can I tell if it will be eye-clean IRL? I know these videos are blown up a bajillion x larger.

Also, why don’t they consider these into clarity grading? Or do they?

Yeah, it’s hard for me to grab on still screen shots. In video, it’s definitely there.

I’m wondering how to determine if it’ll impact real life visually (“eye clean”?) when they’re blown up huge.

I’m in no way an expert. I’m a consumer just like you. I see that “blur” like a cloud inclusion..I would want to stay away from whatever that is..It’s huge. It can’t be good.
