\"Which<\/div>\n

Let’s Play a Game!<\/h2>\n

\nI’ll Show you a Bunch of Diamonds, 10x Magnified<\/strong>, and your Job is to Figure out which of the Stones are SI2 Clarity! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sound Easy?<\/h2>\n

\nSI2 Clarity is the Diamond Range that Splits Visible Flaws from Invisible Flaws. <\/p>\n

\nStones Higher than SI2 will be Eye-Clean, and you’ll have to use a Microscope<\/a> to see those Inclusions.<\/p>\n

\nStones lower than SI2 Will Show Visible Flaws<\/strong>, Cracks, Lines, Clouds and Chips that you can easily see without any Magnification<\/strong>. You can just look at the Stone and they’ll be Apparent.<\/p>\n

Do you think you could tell them Apart?<\/h2>\n

\nTake a look at the Clarity Chart <\/strong>below to see where SI2 Falls, and what an Average SI2 Diamond looks like…<\/p>\n

\"SI2<\/p>\n

Now let’s look at the Diamonds!<\/h2>\n

\n(As Sold by James Allen<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\nSee if you can tell if they are SI2 or not. Some of the Stones are SI1, some are I1, and one of them is even a VS2 Diamond<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nCan you Figure them out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/h2>\n

\nWrite your Answers Down<\/strong>, and Check them at the End of this Post.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s Not as Easy as you think…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fun, isn’t it?<\/h2>\n

\nHow do you think you did?<\/p>\n

\nGood? Okay? Bad? No Idea? HA! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the ANSWERS:<\/h2>\n

\nNo Peeking if you haven’t Played the Game…<\/p>\n

THEY ARE ALL SI2 CLARITY DIAMONDS!<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s Right<\/strong>. Every Single Stone above is SI2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Crazy isn’t it?<\/h2>\n

\nIt just goes to show you that there is a WIDE Range<\/strong> of Possibilities when it comes to SI2 Diamonds. Some will Appear more like an SI1 Diamond, others will look more like an I1 Clarity Stone.<\/p>\n

\nAnd unless you actually Viewed the Diamonds close up and Magnified, you probably would Never Know that such a Difference Existed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nThis is why it’s so Important to VIEW the Diamonds BEFORE you Buy them!<\/strong> View them under a Microscope<\/a> or a 10x Jeweler’s Loupe<\/a> to see what they look inside. It could be a Good SI2, it could be a Bad SI2. <\/p>\n

Seeing is Believing!<\/h2>\n

\nThis is True for ALL Clarity Grades<\/strong> as well. Some VS2 Diamonds look more like VS1, and others look more like SI1. This is because Diamonds are Graded in a Range<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nIf you think of the Diamond Clarity Chart<\/strong> more like this, it makes more Sense.<\/p>\n

\"SI2<\/p>\n

You’ll see that Diamonds could be Closer to one Grade than the other. <\/p>\n

\nSo Before you Purchase any Diamond, especially just by the Grade only or what a Certificate (Diamond Report<\/strong>) says, STOP<\/strong> and VIEW the Stone under a 10x Microscope FIRST! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou MUST<\/strong> see any Diamond Up Close before<\/strong> you Purchase it. That way you’ll know how the Stone Faces up and if it looks like the Clarity Grade given.<\/p>\n

\nEvery Diamond is Different and Every Clarity is Unique. Same is True for Color as well<\/strong>. They all Vary and are Graded in a Range.<\/p>\n

Scope the Diamond and Judge for yourself<\/h2>\n

\nThis is why it’s Good to Shop with James Allen<\/a>, they Show you all the Real Diamonds Magnified<\/strong> so you can See the Difference. Other Companies DON’T<\/strong> do that (A Shame!)<\/p>\n

\nHere’s all the Info on SI2 Diamonds above if you Want to Learn more… <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Or just go to James Allen<\/strong> and View all their SI2 Diamonds!<\/a> You’ll be Amazed at the Difference.<\/p>\n

\nScope the Diamonds, Compare Different Stones of the Same Clarity and Color<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Only then will you know if a Diamond is Truly Better<\/strong>, or Worse! <\/strong><\/p>\n
