If you truly want to learn more about Clarity and how it affects the beauty of a Diamond, just visit a local Jewelry Store.
Look at the different qualities under a microscope. See what's in the Diamond and why they are graded the way that they're graded.
It's a wonderful World inside a Diamond!
The sheer beauty and awe of a VVS Clarity Diamond is breathtaking. The lines and Clouds and Spots in an Imperfect Diamond can also make you gasp! The two Diamonds put side by side are like a night and day difference. You just have to see them to believe them.
The cleaner the stone, the fewer the inclusions and flaws, the better the Diamond will look, the higher it will be graded, and the more expensive the Diamond will become.
When it comes to Clarity, you have to decide what's right for you and your budget. If money is tight, check out SI Clarity Diamonds. With SI Clarity, you can get a great looking Diamond for a great price!
If you want something a little bit nicer with more brilliance and sparkle, then look into VS Clarity Diamonds. VS are beautiful to the eye, and very clean under a scope. VS is an awesome Clarity to purchase.
Word of Advice
When you're buying High Quality Diamonds (Such as SI, VS & VVS), always make sure you buy it G.I.A. Certified! (You know, certified by the people that wrote the book on the 4 C's Diamond Grading System!) They're the best!
A Certified Diamond guarantees that the Clarity of the Diamond you purchased, is the Clarity of Diamond you received! Plus, a lot of Certified Stones come with a plot of the Inclusions inside the Diamond. (Very cool! Just like a fingerprint!)
And if you have loads of money to spend, or if you just want to get the best Diamond that you can buy, check out VVS Clarity Diamonds. VVS Clarity is just about as perfect as one can get.
Flawless & Internally Flawless Diamonds are extremely rare and almost impossible to locate. Plus, if you did find one, would you really want to wear a perfect Flawless Diamond? You'd always be in fear of chipping the stone or losing it. Most people wouldn't attempt wearing a Flawless Diamond. VVS is usually the tops that most people will go.
So find the Clarity that's right for you. (VS & SI Clarity are great choices!) Whether it meets your tastes or pocket book, or if you're just playing it by eye, Clarity is a fascinating World. A World where every little dot, pin point, feather and flaw can make a huge, huge difference. And that's something that you can really point your loupe at!
