This trillion-shaped diamond resembles smoke rising on a still night, with dense clusters of deep black and grey specks swirling against its surface. The inclusions gather toward the centre, leaving some areas clearer than others, creating a fine visual pattern.
Those specks are inclusions, tiny dark crystals, often graphite, and clouds of minute particles trapped as the diamond formed deep in the earth. In this diamond, larger dark crystals are interspersed among the smaller specks, standing out prominently. Like most salt and pepper diamonds, some of its inclusions reach the surface, so a setting that protects its edges and points ensures its safety.
With its faceted cut, setting the diamond table up allows the light to enter through the flat top, revealing the swirling pattern within. When set upside down, the faceted base brings out the interplay of light and dark, offering a striking contrast. The photographs show it both ways.
Please be aware that photography and video cannot fully capture this stone. Our lightbox images are taken under artificial light, which can flatten a diamond's brilliance and hide the fire that shows in the hand. Video taken in natural light does the opposite, often reading cooler and darker than the stone appears in the hand. The truest impression sits between the two, so we recommend viewing both. Better still, view the stone in person, through an in-store consultation or our Gemstone Home Trial.
