And we being diamond manufacturers in India, know why! A Diamond is the toughest gem found on the Earth, formed from carbon. Each carbon atom is firmly bonded to four neighboring carbon atoms situated at the apices of a tetrahedron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As we know, diamond pricing and grading are decided based on the 4 C&#8217;s, which are cut, color, clarity, and carat. Apart from clarity- cut, color, and carat can be easily calculated and graded. But it bears a fine sight to determine how clarity affects a diamond\u2019s looks and price. Let&#8217;s see everything we should know about the clarity of diamonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Clarity\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>What is Clarity?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond clarity is the evaluation of small flaws on the surface and within the stone. Internal flaws are known as inclusions, while surface flaws are known as blemishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In most cases, the beauty of a diamond is unaffected by inclusions because they aren&#8217;t visible to the naked eye. Instead of calling inclusions flaws, gemologists refer to them as &#8220;internal characteristics.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A natural diamond&#8217;s character is determined by its internal characteristics. It&#8217;s also worth noting that diamonds with the smallest and fewest inclusions receive the highest clarity grades, as well as higher prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Know_the_Importance_of_Clarity_Characteristics_of_Diamonds\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Do You Know the Importance<\/b> <b>of Clarity Characteristics of Diamonds?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond clarity is impacted while diamonds form naturally. Also, when it gets mined and polished, inclusions happen! A diamond&#8217;s clarity characteristics function as a fingerprint, and because of that, no two diamonds are alike. According to the GIA clarity scale, there are 11 grades, mostly counted in the VS (very slight inclusion) or SI (slight inclusion) class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">To the untrained eye, an SI diamond and a VS diamond may appear to be the same. However, the value of the two diamonds could be drastically different based on clarity characteristics. That is why it is important to consider a diamond\u2019s clarity before buying a sparkling beauty!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Diamond_Inclusions_According_to_GIA_What_are_the_Symbols_of_Inclusions\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>What are Diamond Inclusions According to GIA? What are the Symbols of Inclusions?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">There are many descriptions serving diamond inclusions. But, we\u2019ve added each characteristic with a detailed description for every type of inclusion so that you will be left with no doubt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Please keep in mind that the majority of the following clarity characteristics are typically very subtle, with many only visible with a 10x lens and a trained eye. They merely identify and specify the type of inclusion when they appear on a diamond certificate. And the GIA study is used to classify these characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Bearded Girdle (BG): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Girdle bearding refers to the small feathers that run along the stone&#8217;s girdle. They aren&#8217;t natural but rather the result of poor diamond polishing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Bruise (Br): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small impact mark on the diamond extends into the diamond and below the stone&#8217;s surface. These small marks frequently appear where two facets meet, which is where the diamond is most vulnerable to damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Cavity (Cv): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cavity appears where a piece of a feather breaks away from the diamond, and a small crack-like opening appears.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Chip (Ch):<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A Diamond chip is a result of a collision or pressure. These are man-made inclusions that occur as an effect of knocks or normal wear and tear.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Cloud (Cld): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clouds are developed by many minuscule inclusions clubbed in one area. Independently, they are too small to be visible, but together they are more prominent but foggier and less specific.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Crystal (Xtl): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These crystals are also known as \u2018Baby Diamonds.\u2019 They are formed within the diamond and can be of any material &amp; color.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Feather (Ftr): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A white inclusion resembles a feather. It is mostly formed by a fracture within the diamond.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Indented Natural (IndN): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a part of a rough diamond that does not get polished, and the cavity inside it extends up to the stone\u2019s surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Internal Graining (IntGr): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the irregular formation of crystals, some lines &amp; curves happen at an angle. They can be pure white, semi-transparent, or colored.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Knot (K): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An extension of diamond crystal to the surface due to cutting and polishing called a knot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Laser Drill Hole (LDH): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A very thin hole, like human hair thickness, that can be cured with acid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Needle (Ndl): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A very thin inclusion like needle and can vary in length.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Pinpoint (Pp): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very Tiny and common inclusion that can be white, gray, or black in color.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Twinning Wisp (W): <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the growth plane of a diamond, a series of pinpoints, clouds, or crystals forms; associated with crystal distortion and twinning planes when forming.

Due to this natural process, some internal or external inclusions happen to diamonds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The uniqueness of diamonds is due to these inclusions and blemishes.

But how do these inclusions form that define the clarity of the diamonds?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Because of the extreme heat and pressure generated by the Earth&#8217;s crust, inclusions form in diamonds. And under these circumstances, atoms of carbon&#8217;s structure change, and this change makes diamond inclusions visible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Variations in the conditions generate more or fewer inclusions in a diamond.
