Diamond Clarity affects how stones sparkle. As light interacts with the diamond's surface, the level of clarity plays a pivotal role in how the stone reflects and refracts light.
Clarity essentially determines how brilliantly the diamond shines and how effectively it captures and reflects light, contributing to its overall visual appeal and dazzling brilliance.

Understanding Clarity Grades
Diamond clarity grades provide insight into the presence of imperfections within the gem. Here's what each grade signifies:
Flawless or Internally Flawless
Flawless diamonds are completely clear under 10x magnification, free from inclusions or blemishes. They lack inclusions at this magnification but might have minor surface marks.
Grade VVS
A diamond graded 1 or 2 (VVS1 or VVS2) has tiny inclusions that are challenging for experts to see under 10x magnification.
Grade VS
Very Slightly Included diamonds with a grade of 3 or 4 (VS1 or VS2) possess minor inclusions.
Grade SI
Slightly Included diamonds with a grade of 5, 6, or 7 (SI1 or SI2) have noticeable inclusions that are relatively easy to observe under 10x magnification. In some cases, these might even be visible without magnification.
Grade I
Included diamonds with a grade of 7, 8, 9, or 10 (I1, I2, or I3) display obvious inclusions at 10x magnification. These inclusions might be visible to the naked eye as well. Lower clarity grades could impact the diamond's durability.
There is a variety of factors to take into consideration when choosing the right grade for the diamond. Learn more about them by reading below.
