The Fourth C - CLARITY

Carat Weight | Cut | Color | Clarity

Clarity grading is the determination of the flaws or inclusions of a diamond.

The clarity of diamonds are rated on a scale which ranges from flawless to imperfect.

Fl - Flawless
IF - Internally Flawless (minor surface blemishes)
VVS1, VVS2 - Very, Very Slight inclusions
VS1, VS2 - Very Slight inclusions
SI1, SI2, SI3 - Slight inclusions
I1, I2, I3 - Imperfect (eye visible inclusions)

Clarity grading must be determined with a 10x magnifying loupe. Proper clarity and color grading is crucial in determining the price you should pay for your diamond.
