| Clarity is one of the major components in determining diamond value. Clarity in a diamond is determined by the number, type and size of the inclusions. Diamonds which are very clean are very much sought after and are quite expensive and rare. However, inclusions are very important part in determining identity of a diamond. By viewing the plotting of the inclusions in a diamond, which can be found in most certificates, it is easy to determine if a diamond has been switched in your piece of jewelry. Clarity grades are determined by using 10x magnification. Here are descriptions of clarity grades: |

FL, IF Diamonds: This stands for flawless and internally flawless. A flawless diamond has no internal or external flaws. An internally flawless diamond has no internal flaws. |
| VVS1, VVS2 Diamonds: Stands for very, very slightly included. These inclusions are very difficult to see even using 10x magnification. Diamonds in this clarity grade are of very high quality. |
| VS1, VS2 Diamonds: Stands for very slightly included. Inclusions in this range are still very small and still can't be seen by the naked eye. These diamonds are still high quality diamonds. |
| SI1, SI2 Diamonds: Stands for slightly included. Inclusion in this range are readily visible under 10x magnification and are at times visible even by the naked eye. These diamonds present a very good value. |
| |
|
| I1, I2, I3 Diamonds: Stands for included. These diamonds don't require a 10x magnification for the inclusions to be seen. They can readily be seen even by the naked eye. These diamonds should be avoided in most cases. |
| So What Is The Best Clarity Grade For You? |
| We believe the best diamond value is offered by the diamonds that are ‘eye clean' or diamonds whose inclusions are not visible by the naked eye. These diamonds are far cheaper than FL, IF, VVS diamonds and will appear the same to any individual, even diamond experts, since the inclusion are not visible without 10x magnification. |
| • |
For the idealist stick to FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2 and VS1 clarity grades. |
| • |
For people looking for value, clarity grades in VS2, SI1 and SI2 offer the greatest value. These diamonds are eye clean in most cases. |
