Strain in diamonds is also known as stress and occurs in around 40% diamonds. It is actually a distorted crystal growth in the diamond. Strains are more commonly present in Pear, Marquise & Triangle shape cut diamonds as compared to brilliant round cut diamonds.

Before a diamond is cut, cutters analyze the color, location & amount of strain in it. Diamond can survive the whole cutting and polishing process then it will also survive the normal wear & tear despite the presence of strain. There isn’t anything major to be concerned about- as strains in diamonds are normal.
