You can see the actual diamond image magnified using the James Allen Virtual Loupe:

and you can see this princess diamond’s GIA certificate:

As you can see from the GIA certificate of this diamond, what is considered one of the main benefits of Princess cut diamonds is really true and works. That is, one of the things great about Princess cut diamonds is the way the facets cover up a lot of the inclusions of the diamond, making them very difficult to see, especially with the naked eye.

As you can see from the GIA certificate above, this Princess cut diamond has a number of small inclusions, yet looking at the diamond itself, they are virtually invisible, both to the naked eye, and even when magnified under a loupe.

This diamond, appears as much better quality because it looks much cleaner than it actually is. That makes this diamond a great buy. You are paying less because of the “flaws” in the diamond, but you are benefiting from a diamond that appears to be cleaner than it actually is.
