Welcome to my diamond's blog.
You know, I really like diamond and I'm sure you too.
I'm planning to dedicate this blog providing information about diamonds, such as :
- bonded-diamonds
- colored-diamonds
- diamond-certificates
- diamond-scams
- etc etc.
For now we are going to talk about Clarity of Diamonds. Enjoy guys!
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.
Many people mistakenly think that diamond clarity refers to how clear it is. This isn’t so.
Clarity actually refers to the internal and external imperfections of the diamond. The
best diamonds, of course get a grade of FL or IF – Flawless or Internally Flawless –
meaning that it is perfect. A grade of I-1, I-2 or I-3 means that the diamond is imperfect,
with a grade of I-3 being the worst.
Other grades are VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond is very, very slightly
imperfect; VS1 and VS2, meaning the diamond is very slightly imperfect; SI-1 and
SI-2, which means that the diamond is slightly imperfect.
Ok, we see again soon in the other topic. Cheers.
