An example would be on large emerald cut diamond which has small inclusion under the table and positioned close to pavilion facet, will reflect multiple times around the stone, giving this type of inclusion the name reflector. Reputable vendors must disclose this filling and reputable filling companies use filling agents which show flash of color, commonly orange or pink, when viewed closely. For this reason reflectors have greater impact on the clarity grade.

Diamond clarity is quality of diamonds relating to the existence and visual appearance of internal characteristics of diamond called inclusions, and surface defects called blemishes. An inclusion under the corner of the table. Slightly Included category SI diamonds have noticeable inclusions that are difficult to somewhat easy for trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification.

These inclusions often be more easily seen from the pavilion side, and the crown side, examining the diamond through each facet for inclusions. The number, size, color, relative location, orientation, and visibility of inclusions can all affect the relative clarity of diamond. They took terminology used in the industry at the time and refined the definitions to produce clarity scale by which diamonds could consistently be graded. The grader views the diamond for the first time through the table, studying the culet area of the stone for inclusions.
