Different types of diamond clarity

Buying Diamond is an important moment for any individual so it very imperative to be aware of the 4 C’s (Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat). Here is the details of diamond clarity, so that you understand them and make a wise choice.

CLARITY

When a diamond is formed, there can be a existence of minute particles of non-crystallised carbon (or in simple language non-diamond crystals) inside the diamond and can be seen in the internal characteristics of a diamond, such as tiny cracks that make a diamond appear whitish or cloudy, this imperfection is called inclusions, and surface defects are called blemishes Inclusions are not really visible through the naked eye, however they interfere with the passage of light and can affect diamond's ability to transmit and scatter light. Therefore the lesser inclusions a diamond has, the more valued and rare it is.

A diamond clarity refers to two things

1) Inclusions - These are found within the diamond and are counted in internal flaws. Few examples are 

• Air bubbles 
• Clouds 
• Cavities 
• Laser lines

2) Blemishes - They are found on the surface of diamond and are counted in surface flaws. Some of them occur during the cutting process. Few examples are- 

• Polish lines
• Scratches 
• Dark spots 
• Breaks

Process of determining a diamonds Clarity

Clarity is categorized using international grading scales. The categories of clarity are decided by the number, size and position of the inclusions within the diamond. According to modern grading system it ranges from Flawless (diamonds which are completely free of blemishes and inclusions), to Imperfect 3 (diamonds which possess large, heavy blemishes and inclusions that are visible to the naked eye). 

• Flawless (F): No internal or external flaws that are extremely rare. 
• Internally Flawless (IF): No internal flaws, but have some surface flaws. 
• Very Very Slightly (VVS1-VVS2): These are minute inclusions that are very difficult to detect under 10x magnification by a trained gemmologist. 
• Very Slightly (VS1-VS2): These minute inclusions can be seen with difficulty under 10x magnification. 
• Slightly Included (SI1-SI2): Minute inclusions which more easily detected under 10x magnification. 
• Included (I1, I2, I3). Inclusions which are visible under 10x magnification and are also easily detectable by the naked eye. 

To wrap things up, do have a wise knowledge of diamond clarity before you buy them, to have the best quality in your hands.
