Clarity is an important aspect of a diamond, and it is important to know how to grade the clarity of a diamond before you buy one. It is actually quite easy to learn how to grade the clarity of a diamond.
There are basically two things that you must understand: Diamonds with visual inclusions and blemishes, and those that are ‘eye clean’ meaning that there are no inclusions or blemishes that can be seen with the naked eye. From there, the clarity of a diamond is further broken down into subcategories.
Clarity refers to the internal and external imperfections of the diamond.
Grades:
1) FL or IF – Flawless or Internally Flawless – meaning that it is perfect. These are the best diamonds.
2) I-1, I-2 or I-3 means that the diamond is imperfect, with a grade of I-3 being the worst.
3) VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond is very, very slightly imperfect.
4) VS1 and VS2, meaning the diamond is very slightly imperfect.
5) SI-1 and SI-2, which means that the diamond is slightly imperfect.
Hope this gives you some useful information before buying a diamond for your special events.
