Diamond Clarity
What is Diamond Clarity?
Clarity is a judgment of the internal presence of inclusions (birthmarks) and the external visibility of blemishes. These make each diamond individual and unique.
The fewer the inclusions, the rarer and more valuable the diamond.
How is a Diamonds Clarity Graded?
To determine a diamond’s clarity grade, the diamond must be examined under a 10x magnification by an educated eye. Small inclusions make every diamond unique and are nature’s fingerprints. Generally, they do not mask the beauty or endanger the durability of the diamond.
