Diamond Clarity refers to the flaws or imperfects that are on a diamond. These often small imperfections come in many different types and develope within a diamond when they are formed. We use a grading scaled to determine how much imperfections are on a particular diamond. The scale starts out with 3 different levels of Included Diamonds,which are very flawed and visible to the naked eye. Next is 2 levels of Slightly Included,Diamonds at this level are sometimes eye clean and may have some potential structure issues. Then comes Very Slightly Included which also carries 2 different levels.These diamonds are eyeclean and free of troublesome flaws. Next is 2 levels Very Very Slightly Included;these flaws are difficult for even trained professionals to spot. Lastly, we have Internally Flawless and Flawless.Internally Flawless will display minor polishing, while Flawless is perfection. For information on flaw types click here.
