I clarity means included. They have <strong>eye-visible flaws<\/strong> that you can see with your own eyes (no need for a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Edr9HQ\">microscope<\/a> or a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kwSI5G\">10x jeweler&#8217;s loupe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\nI clarity is made up of <strong>3 different clarity grades:<\/strong> I1, I2, and I3.
