be helpful to know this terminology.

(C)olor----(C)larity----(C)arat----(C)ut

THIS PAGE WILL FOCUS ON DIAMOND CLARITY

Clarity Chart

A Diamonds' Clarity Can Have A Large Impact On Beauty AND Price

Clarity Is Measured On A Scale Of FL to I3.

*(FL=Flawless) Flawless Means No Inclusions Or Blemishes Of Any Kind When Examined By A Skilled Grader Under (10X) Magnification

*(IF=Internally Flawless) This Means No Inclusions, and only insignificant surface blemishes are present.

*(VVS1 & VVS2= VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED)

*(VVS1) Inclusions in this grade can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to see and are only visible from the pavilion, and only with (10X) magnification.

*(VVS2) Inclusions are still difficult to see but easier than (VVS1) You would most likely need (10X) magnification to see them. It is unlikely that the naked eye would be able to see any inclusions in a VVS2 diamond.

* (VS1 & VS2= VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED) Minor inclusions are present. These inclusions are SOMEWHAT easy-to-Difficult for a trained grader to see under 10x magnification. It is still unlikely that a naked eye would be able to detect these inclusions.

FL to VS Grades Could Be Considered Unnecessarily Good-Or Luxury Grade. If The 4 C's Are Well Balanced, An (SI) Grade Diamond Can be Very Impressive! The Engagement Ring Above Has An (SI) Grade Center Diamond

* (SI1 & SI2= Slightly Included) Inclusions are seen easy-to-very easy by an experienced grader using (10X) magnification. Possible For the naked eye to see the inclusions without the aid of magnification if looking at the diamond CLOSELY. This would be more true of an (SI2)
When shopping for a Diamond Engagement Ring, these two grades are certainly worth Considering. Especially if you are working with a limited budget.

* (I1/I2/I3= IMPERFECT!!!) OBVIOUS INCLUSIONS-These Inclusions Can Usually be seen VERY EASILY without magnification. Inclusions in I3 Diamonds may even THREATEN the durability of the diamond.

Although it is possible for a diamond with a (I1) clarity to look somewhat pleasing to the naked eye, I would suggest purchasing a diamond with a higher clarity if at all possible. Especially when it's for the purchase of an engagement ring.

We have included a Picture Of A "Certified" One carat ROUND BRILLIANT Cut Diamond At The Bottom Of This Page for informational purposes. It's Clarity Grade is (I2) And It's Color Is (F-G) The certificate Was issued By A Company that is Highly Regarded. This diamond was appraised to be worth an Estimated Retail Value of $6,630.00 Dollars. The serial number is laser inscribed on the girdle of the diamond.

Lessons That Can Be Learned Might Be:

#1) This is an example of what you could get if you purchase a diamond with this clarity rating. You Can SEE FOR YOURSELF How Important Diamond CLARITY can be!!

#2) Even A Diamond with GOOD COLOR can LOOK VERY BAD if you do not have the right balance of the 4 C's

#3) Having A Serial Number Laser inscribed on your diamond does not guarantee a High quality or Nice looking Diamond.

#4) "Appraisals" or "Certificates" may not reflect the TRUE VALUE of a diamond. Grading And VALUATION is not considered to be an Exact Science. It Can be very subjective and may even vary by a couple of grades depending upon many factors. Factors such as Lighting/Grading techniques/the ability and-or experience of the appraiser or gemologist/And even the condition or type of equipment being used. This fact is typically covered very extensively in small print, on the back of the certificate with multiple disclaimers. Don't Forget to bring your reading glasses.

#5) Don't possibly overpay for a Diamond Or Diamond Engagement Ring just because A "Professional" or an "Organization" issued a certificate with it. I find that even an amateur can tell if a diamond is good, just by looking at it. If It shines and sparkles like crazy, chances are you have a good one. And You just might be able to save a lot of money by not having that fancy piece of paper!!

"The Sparkle Factor" is what everyone wants in their diamond without spending MORE MONEY THAN THEY CAN AFFORD. It is achieved with a proper balance of (C)olor-(C)larity-And (C)ut.

Of Course the last "C" (Carat Size)does not have any effect on "The Sparkle Factor" However it certainly has an effect on the person showing it off!!!

Although The Diamond Pitured Below Is Certified-It Has A Low Clarity Grade-Diamonds With I1, I2, Or I3 Clarity Grades Are Not Usually Nearly As Beautiful As Higher Grades

A Diamond to NOT buy!

A Clarity Enhanced Diamond Engagement Ring Can Offer Remarkable Value-Clarity Enhanced Diamonds Have Been Referred To As "The Diamond Of The Future"

You Can Have The Largest, Most Visually Stunning Diamond You Ever Dreamed Of, For A Price That Has Never Been Possible-Until Now!
The Process Works Like This:

The State-Of-The-Art Technology, Optically Eliminates "feathers" which occur in most diamonds. This is Done By Coating The Feather With A Glass-Like Material That Adds Virtually No Weight To The Diamond.

The Transparent "Glass-Like" Material Has Almost The Same Optical And Light Refractive Properties As The Diamond Itself. This Allows Light To Pass Through The Feather (Thereby Masking It)Instead Of Deflecting Off In An Undesirable Direction.

The Result:

A More Visually Stunning Diamond That You Can Purchase For SIGNIFICANTLY LESS Than A Similiar "Non-Enhanced" Diamond.

Best Of All, Clarity Enhanced Diamonds are Totally Natural And Come From The Same Diamond Mines as "Non-Enhanced Diamonds"

The Clarity Enhancement Process Is Totally Invisible To The Naked Eye And Can Even Be Difficult To Detect Under 10x Magnification.

Only A TRAINED Jeweler will Ever Know That You Own A "Clarity-Enhanced Diamond" In Your Ring!!
