Diamond Clarity

Clarity refers to the clearness or purity of a diamond. There are very rarely perfect loose diamonds that are clear and clean of imperfections. When buying diamond jewelry, look for a clear diamond. Inclusions can sometimes be minor if not seen by the naked eye. When looking at clarity, look for a diamond that is from Flawless to Very Slightly Included, those are stones that look clear to the naked eye.

There are two Clarity grading scales done by the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) and Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

The AGSL scale is from 0 to 10, 0 being flawless. The GIA scale has a scale that grades diamonds from Flawless to Imperfect (FL to I3).

GIA Clarity Scale:

Flawless (FL) and Internally Flawless (IF) diamonds are virtually flawless with no natural inclusions seen under 10x magnification. These diamonds are extremely rare.

Very Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2) diamonds has inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification. They have excellent quality. It is extremely difficult to see, only visible from the pavilion or have small and shallow inclusions that could be removed with minor polishing.

Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2) diamonds has inclusions that are difficult to see with the naked eye. They are less expensive than VVS1 and VVS2. Inclusions in VS1 are difficult to see and somewhat easier to see in VS2 diamonds.

Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) have inclusions that are visible under 10x magnification and may be seen with the naked eye. They are a good value because their brilliance is still high but their prices are more affordable.

Imperfect (I1, I2 and I3) diamonds contain inclusions that are obvious under 10x magnification and can easily been seen under the naked eye. These diamond gradings don't have as much sparkle to the naked eye.
