People often connect them with brilliance, royalty, luxury, and strength. However, diamonds also contain inclusions, and many people misunderstand this natural feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Some buyers assume that inclusions reduce a diamond\u2019s beauty. In reality, inclusions are a natural part of every diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In this blog, we explain what diamond inclusions are, the different types of inclusions, and which inclusions are better to have in your diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Inclusions_in_Diamonds\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>What Are Inclusions in Diamonds?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond inclusions are small internal characteristics formed under extreme heat and pressure during the diamond\u2019s natural creation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You can compare inclusions to birthmarks in humans. Almost every natural diamond contains them. In fact, finding a flawless diamond is extremely rare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">These natural marks make every diamond unique. They add character and confirm the stone\u2019s natural origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Gemologists usually detect inclusions under 10X magnification. Most inclusions are invisible to the naked eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In addition, inclusions help experts identify whether a diamond is natural or lab-grown. They also influence clarity grading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3499 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-1024x756.jpg\" alt=\"diamond inclusions \" width=\"629\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-1024x756.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-1536x1134.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-2048x1512.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gem-Letseng_Diamond_03_Full-1200x886.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Diamond_Inclusions\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Types of Diamond Inclusions<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surface-Related_Inclusions\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Surface-Related Inclusions<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Bearding<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Bearding appears as hair-like lines near the girdle.
