Clarity

A rarity.

To determine a diamond’s clarity, it is viewed under 10-power magnification by
a trained eye. Most diamonds contain very tiny inclusions. However, the fewer and
smaller the inclusions are, the less likely it is that they will interfere with the passage of
light through the diamond, and the more beautiful the diamond will be. Diamonds,
more than any other gemstone, have the capability to produce the maximum amount of
brilliance. A diamond that is free of interior or exterior inclusions is very rare and
therefore more valuable. So, the clearer the diamond, the clearer your choice.
