Diamond Clarity

Clarifying beauty.

While many diamonds are incredibly beautiful, no two are alike. Most diamonds have flaws, called inclusions, which are unique to each diamond. Inclusions can be crystals, feathers and lines generally not seen unless magnified. Clarity is determined by the absence of inclusions - the fewer the inclusions, the more rare and more valuable the diamond.

Clarity grades are determined by the number, size, color and location of inclusions. The smaller and less visible the inclusions, the higher the diamond's grade.

A gemscope is a type of microscope used for examining diamonds. It allows inclusions to be easily seen and evaluated, so when you choose your diamond, you can do so confidently. We provide a gemscope for you to use, because you can't choose the right diamond without seeing everything that makes your diamond beautiful and unique.
