(Robin, insert image of a plotting diagram from a GIA Report?). Otherwise, your best bet is to look at the diamond under magnification at the store, either through a jeweler’s loupe or microscope. You’ll want to view the diamond at 10x magnification because that is the standard used for grading its clarity.
