Diamond Clarity

When a naturally perfect crystal is formed it is truly one in a million.

Thus is the case for any diamond that is worthy of being called "Flawless". Examined under magnification by more than one trained Gemologist before the declaration is made a flawless diamond is has been scrutinized closer than most diamonds will ever be. As with most things with this level of perfection comes a not so perfect price.

However, when one starts looking at diamonds on a finger or in a setting of any type they soon realize that highest level of perfection is not required to have perfectly beautiful diamond.

Most people find that after examining a few different diamonds tht they are content with ones ranging from what we call SI1 to VS1. These diamonds will contain extremely small particles or irregularities which bring down the price of the diamond without sacrificing anything in apparent beauty. The inclusions are so small and insignificant that they are not detectable by the naked eye.

 

The chart to the right shows the standardized G.I.A. scale that is used throughout the world today.

 

The best decision as to which diamond is right for you can only be made by actually examining each diamond up close and personally. We encourage you to compare them in our store in critical and varied lighting conditions.
