Images of diamond clarity and types of inclusions classified by importance
Grade and evaluate diamond clarity by mages of visual internal and external inclusions and blemishes
Diamond clarity grading is an opinion, not a mathematic scientific fact! Inclusions are crystals or structural imperfections such as whitish clouds, cracks, feathers, knots, black spots.The quantity, size, color, location, orientation and visibility of inclusions can affect the clarity.
A clarity grade is assigned under microscope and by 10x magnification.Most inclusions in diamonds do not affect the brilliance.
Diamonds with highest clarity grades are more expensive, because much more rare. Inclusions are useful as unique identifying system between natural and synthetic diamonds.Inclusions can proof the natural origin and gives a guarantee against switching diamonds.
