Diamond Clarity
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth’s crust when carbon is exposed to tremendous heat and pressure. This natural process causes the occurrence of imperfections during the formation of a diamond.
Diamond Clarity Assessment
Clarity is the assessment of imperfections known as blemishes on the surface and inclusions within a diamond. Clarity can be determined by the type, number, and size of these inclusions when viewed under 10x magnification.
Diamond clarity is crucial in determining the beauty and value of a diamond. However, the shape and size of a diamond would also affect its clarity. Hence, an ideal diamond should be determined using all 4Cs as a holistic guideline.
