QUESTION:<\/h2>\n

\nRAGOTHAMAN IN CHENNAI, INDIA, WRITES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question: Sir,<\/strong>
\nI am an Indian. In India when we Buy the Diamonds we give More Significance to Diamond’s Clarity more than the other Qualities<\/strong> such as Colour or Cut or Carat. <\/p>\n

\nOur Ancestors have Opined that Diamonds with No Flaws will be Good to Buy<\/strong>. Does it mean that Diamonds of SI1 Clarities should Not be Bought? Will it be Harmful to the Family or the Person Wearing it?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nPlease Explain to me Whether the Persons who bought SI1 Clarity Diamonds have been Better off or Struggling<\/strong> because of it? <\/p>\n

\nBased on your Experience please Explain to me as I am a Firm Believer of this Mythology<\/strong> of our Ancestors.<\/p>\n

ANSWER FOR RAGOTHAMAN:<\/h2>\n

Hi Ragothaman<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nWhat an Interesting Question<\/strong>. Sadly, it’s not one I can Answer without knowing more about your Culture, but I’ll try<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every Diamond Clarity can have Flaws in it<\/strong>, even an Internally Flawless Diamond can have Naturals on the Girdle. But from the Sounds of it, I would Tend to Think when they’re talking about “Flaws<\/strong>” in a Diamond that they would be talking about “Eye-Visible<\/strong>” Flaws<\/strong>. If you can See the Inclusion or Flaw with the Naked Eye, then I would think that that’s the Diamond to Stay Away From<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nSo yes, I would Agree with your thinking that any Diamond Clarity SI1 or Higher<\/a> (VS, VVS, IF, or Flawless) would be the Diamond to Buy<\/strong> and you should have any Problems with it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Any Diamond below that Clarity, SI2, (SI3) I1, I2, and I3 would have Flaws<\/strong> Visible to the Naked Eye and I would Stay Away From Those<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Hopefully this Helps<\/h2>\n

But you still may want to Ask around in India to get other Opinions on what a Diamond Flaw is Considered there<\/strong>. Are there any Jewelers in India? That would be a Good Place to Start.<\/p>\n

Good Luck!<\/strong><\/p>\n

RAGOTHAMAN RESPONDS:<\/h2>\n

Dear Sir,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYour Answer is Good and Agreeable. Fortunately it Matched with My Thinking Too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nI Read your Writings on SI1 and VS Graded Diamonds in your Website and it was Fascinating to me. It Shows your Experience in Diamonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nIn Dubai what the Sellers Disclose about the Clarity Grade of any Diamond may be Truthful because if they Try to Cheat the Buyer by giving a Wrong Grading (Saying I grade as SI1 or SI1 as VS1 and so) their Licence will be Cancelled if the Customer goes for GIA Certification<\/strong> and finds out that he was Cheated. But in India there is No Control by the Government over the Sellers and they may Tend to Cheat the Buyer by Giving a Wrong Grade just to Sell their Diamonds<\/strong> by Getting the Buyers Tempted to Buy.<\/p>\n

\nHence the Dubai Diamond Market can be Trusted More than any other Diamond Market in the World<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThank You Very Much for Your Reply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
