The system allows working with the inclusions in the polished diamond.
Information about inclusions, their positions, sizes, and shapes comes with the project file containing a model. The information itself is gotten by external tools.
Inclusions can also be created manually in the HP Oxygen system itself. See Create inclusions manually below. |
To access information about inclusions, do one of the following:
In the Recut mode, on the left panel, overview of the Inclusions section. | On the top panel, click Inclusions in polished. The main view goes into the Inclusions mode, the left panel goes into Plans & Scans Mode. |
You can filter inclusions visualization in Scene. This can be done via the Inclusions panel, its QC Filter (Quality Control Filter).
Activate the QC Mode button to start using specified filters. De-activate it - all solution inclusions will be displayed without filtering.
The QC Panel applies filters to the model inclusions, such as:
Filters utilize the AND logic, for example, if "Diamond 1", VS1 clarity, "inside" and 90 µm are selected, then only VS1 inclusions within 90 µm area inside Diamond 1 will be displayed.

To change how inclusions affect algorithm work and produced solutions, you can change the statuses of the inclusions.
Status | Instructs an algorithm... | May be used for... |
---|---|---|
Green Status | "You should not do anything to include or exclude these inclusions". | Speeding up an algorithm work by marking the inclusions that you are sure do not affect the result (definitely will be outside or inside potential diamonds). |
Yellow Status | "You should exclude or include these inclusions depending on condition". | Automatic show up only the solution with a better price (may be with or without marked inclusions). |
Red Status | "You should exclude these inclusions". | Getting better clarity. |
Grey Statuses | "These inclusions do not exist". | Getting maximum mass. |
See the details in the sections below.
The default status of inclusion is set automatically due to its clarity group. The approximate correspondence is like following:
Clarity Group | Default Status |
---|---|
IF VVS1 | Green |
VVS2 VS1 VS2 SI1 SI2 | Yellow |
SI3 I1 I2 I3 | Red |
Specifying this status instructs the algorithm "You should not do anything to include or exclude these inclusions". May be used for speeding up an algorithm work by marking the inclusions that you are sure are not important.
Inclusions having this status may be included or not included in the solution.
The algorithm:
Specifying this status instructs the algorithm "You should exclude these inclusions". May be used for getting better clarity.
Inclusions having this status will not be taken into account during allocation. The solutions are built as if these inclusions do not exist, they are still presented within the produced solutions and affect their price.
The system automatically assigns the clarity group to every inclusion in accordance with the size of the inclusion. If necessary, you can change the clarity group of the inclusion manually.
Clarity groups of the inclusions define the final clarity of a stone. Note that there is a default clarity setting in the system, which describes the accuracy of the current observing tool (lens, microscope). It means "the clarity is this because with this observing tool we cannot see anything smaller".
The setting is available from the main menu, Settings > Default diamond clarity and color.
You can create inclusions manually in HPO:
For the stones with inclusions, the system now supports the ability to increase in some cases the mass of the solution by specifying that some part of inclusion can be included in the future solution. This can be done by marking an inclusion as multi-part ("sandwich").
For a future "sandwich" inclusion you can specify:
To make an inclusion "sandwich":
You can find some details in the video below:
You can delete existing inclusions. This can be useful if some caverns have been added by mistake.
To delete the inclusion:
Alternatively, you can delete inclusion using the pop-up menu. |
You can delete several inclusions at once. To do so:
