| The clarity of a diamond determines
how captivating its gleam is. All diamonds have identifying characteristics,
but most are invisible to the naked eye. Under the scrutiny of a jeweller's
10X magnifying loupe the appearance of tiny crystals, feathers or
clouds can be identified. These natural phenomena are called inclusions.
Large inclusions may interfere with the path of light cascading through
a diamond, thus effecting its vibrancy. There are five categories
in class that anyone interested in purchasing a diamond should be
aware of when grading clarity. |

|
FL - IF
|
Diamonds
that reveal no flaws on the surface or internally. These are
the rarest and most beautiful gems treasured for their absolute
purity. |
|
VVS1 - VVS2
|
Diamonds
with minute inclusions absolutely invisible to the naked eye.
Only through careful inspection with a microscope can these
tiny inclusions be accurately pinpointed. The brilliance of
the stone does not suffer in this category. |
|
VS1 - VS2
|
Diamonds
with tiny inclusions difficult to locate. 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. |
|
SI1 - SI3
|
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. |
|
I1 - I3
|
Diamonds
with inclusions which may or may not be easily seen by the naked
eye. The flaws on the stones in this category will have some
effect on the brilliance of your diamond. |
