Diamond Clarity
A diamond's value is based on four criteria: color, cut, clarity, and carat. The clarity and color of a diamond usually are graded.
DIAMOND CLARITY:
How diamonds are graded for clarity
Diamonds are graded for clarity under 10x loupe magnification.
Grades range from Flawless
(diamonds which are completely free of blemishes and inclusions), to Included 3
(diamonds which possess large, heavy blemishes and inclusions that are visible to the naked eye).
- F
Flawless: No internal or external flaws. Extremely rare.
- IF
Internally Flawless: no internal flaws, but some surface flaws. Very rare.
- VVS1-VVS2
Very Very Slightly Included (two grades). Minute inclusions very difficult to detect under 10x magnification by a trained gemologist.
- VS1-VS2
Very Slightly Included (two grades). Minute inclusions seen only with difficulty under 10x magnification.
- SI1-SI2
Slightly Included (two grades). Minute inclusions more easily detected under 10x magnification.
- I1-I2-I3
Included (three grades). Inclusions visible under 10x magnification AS WELL AS to the human eye. We do not recommend buying diamonds in any of these grades.
