The Clarity grade of a diamond describes the level of imperfection in the diamond. With the exception of a Flawless grade all diamonds have internal and external imperfections or identifying characteristics.
|
|
| There are four categories of Clarity that anyone interested in purchasing a high quality diamond should be aware of: |
|
|
Diamonds that reveal no flaws on the surface or internally.
These are the rarest diamonds treasured for their absolute purity. |
|
|
Diamonds with microscopic inclusions absolutely invisible to the naked eye, barely visible to a trained eye making examination through a 10X loupe.
Only through careful inspection with a microscope can these tiny inclusions be accurately pinpointed. This Clarity level cannot have any effect on the visual quality of a diamond. |
|
|
| Only a trained eye looking through a 10X loupe can pinpoint the inclusions in this category. The inclusions are nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. |
|
|
Diamonds with inclusions easily identified through a loupe.
Finding flaws in this category with the naked eye is difficult. The gems in this category maintain their integrity, depending on the location of the inclusions. |
