Diamond clarity Guide

Diamond clarity refers to the presence of tiny internal marks (inclusions) or surface imperfections (blemishes). These natural characteristics form during the diamond’s creation and are graded under 10x magnification.

Most inclusions are microscopic and invisible to the naked eye. Understanding clarity helps you choose a beautiful diamond without overpaying.
