Diamond clarity characteristics twinning wisps
“I’m hoping that you can tell me more about the diamond clarity characteristics known as twinning wisps, and tell me whether they are something to be concerned about in this 2.524 carat, G-color, SI-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature round diamond, which I’m leaning towards because it seems to offer the biggest bang for my buck! My theory is that people are more apt to notice the size of the diamond, and the sparkle created by the cut quality, and brighter color provided by the G-color, than they will be to notice the SI-2 clarity. Does that make sense? I’m just a bit concerned about how busy that plotting diagram looks, and have read mixed reviews about the diamond clarity characteristic known as twinning wisps."
The diamond clarity characteristic twinning wisps:
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding whether the diamond clarity characteristics twinning wisps are something to be concerned about or not, and that is because they can affect the appearance of a diamond, which is why Brian Gavin personally evaluates every diamond selected for inventory.
The diamond inclusion known as twinning wisps, is really intergrowth within the diamond, which is created by twisted crystal planes, which tend to be interlaced with tiny diamond crystals that were trapped within the twisted crystal plane as it formed.
Depending on the color and tone of the diamond crystals, the twinning wisps might be translucent, or darker in color, and whether or not this is a concern can only be determined by carefully examining the diamond to determine whether the twinning wisps are having any effect upon the visual properties of the diamond.
This is the challenge presented by buying a diamond with twinning wisps online from vendors other than Brian Gavin, who might not be as selective about the nature of twinning wisps as an inclusion type, however Brian Gavin personally evaluates every diamond produced for the Brian Gavin Signature collection, and rejects diamonds that contain inclusions that don’t meet his strict selection standards, or diamonds which don’t meet his expectations for light performance.
Choosing diamond carat weight, and color over clarity:
Needless to say that the 2.524 carat, G-color, SI-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature round diamond is absolutely gorgeous, and the twinning wisps are not something that you need to be concerned about; and the SI-2 clarity grade enables you to pick up the extra carat weight for your budget, while maintain a higher color grade.
As you can clearly see by the high-resolution video provided by the diamond, some of the diamond crystals contained within the diamond are darker in tone, however this is not something that distracts from the beauty of the diamond, nor the light performance; you’re going to have to scrutinize that diamond closely in order to find the inclusions, and all people are really going to notice is the bright, white appearance of the diamond, and all that sparkle!
