WHAT IS CLARITY?
Diamond clarity pertains to the lack of imperfections, such, as inclusions and external blemishes in a diamond. The scale for clarity ranges from flawless (FL) to included (SI) with the grades indicating a level of clarity. Inclusions have the potential to impact both the appeal and value of a diamond as they can disrupt reflection and diminish its overall appearance. A diamond, with clarity is generally regarded as valuable and harder to come by.
