Diamond Clarity

Video Transcript

"In this segment we will talk a little bit about clarity. Clarity is probably the mystic part of a stone in obtaining evaluation because some people see what other people can't. In this case if you can obviously see an inclusion in it then you know it has an imperfection. When you get to the finer grades of stones and their classifications such as VVS's and VS's those grades are very hard to see with the naked eye. They require the aid of at least a 10 power loop or a microscope. If you have a microscope it is much much easier to use but normally at the counter a loop is what is available. When you go down to the SI and to the I category you start seeing inclusions with your naked eye or the unaided eye and where they are located is very important as to how your diamond will react to its assimilation. It will also affect the price of the stone so keep that in mind."
