The clarity of a diamond refers to the quality of diamonds with no inclusions but may still have surface defects.<\/p>

Clarity is a crucial factor in determining the value of a diamond. A diamond without inclusions is considered pure. Differences in clarity between stones that appear similar can be challenging to establish, and only a “gemologist” with the help of white light and a loupe can determine whether a diamond is VS1 or VVS2. To the untrained eye, two diamonds may appear identical, yet there is a difference in quality. That’s why it’s always better to purchase a diamond from a trustworthy expert to avoid any ambiguity when you decide to resell it.<\/p>

Make sure to ask for the characteristics of the diamond you plan to buy.<\/p>

Here are some examples:<\/p>

VVS1\/VVS2: Clarity grade given to a diamond with very tiny inclusions and surface defects that are very difficult to detect with a loupe.<\/p>

VS1\/VS2: Clarity grade assigned to a diamond that, when examined under a microscope, reveals minor surface defects and inclusions that are invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>

SI1\u2013SI2: Includes slight inclusions and external defects easily visible with a loupe.<\/p>

P1\u2013P2\u2013P3: Inclusions and external defects visible to the naked eye.<\/p>

When it crystallized, the diamond underwent various inclusions from its place of origin. Thus, the significance of these inclusions, their nature, number, and location have had an impact on the diamond’s purity and individual rarity. These criteria significantly influence the price. Furthermore, upon discovery, it had a certain orientation, and this orientation can affect the diamond’s light-handling capability.<\/p>

The evaluation of a diamond’s purity is governed by international standards. Here are some details to help you understand better:<\/p>
