In this video one of our GIA graduate gemmologists explains how to read a GIA inclusion plot by comparing GIA plots of actual diamonds under the microscope.
The video also shows how the side-view of a diamond can be very important and how GIA inclusion plots can sometimes appear similar but can be very different to how the diamond looks when it is viewed in reality.
We also examine how inclusions can reflect inside the diamond, dramatically changing its appearance, as well as outlining some of the pitfalls if an inclusion report is misread.
