When Shopping For A Diamond, The Goal Is To Decide What Level Of These Clarity Characteristics Is Appropriate For Your Particular Purchase. If You Cannot Tolerate The Thought Of Not Having The Best, Choose A Diamond With VVS2 Or Better Clarity Grade.

VS1 And VS2 Clarity Graded Diamonds Have Very Slight Inclusions That Are Difficult To Find Even When Viewed With 10x Magnification By The Untrained Eye. Typical Inclusions In This Clarity Range Do Not Affect The Diamond’s Beauty And Are Still Very High Clarity Diamonds. Remember, In Most Instances For Diamond Clarity Grades From FL Through To VS, The Clarity Grade Has An Impact On The Value Of A Diamond But Not On The Diamonds Appearance And Beauty. High Diamond Clarity Grades Are Usually Considered By People That Are Willing To Pay The Price For Higher Quality, Knowing That It Does Not Necessarily Have An Impact On Overall Appearance. When Considering A Diamond With Step Cuts (Emerald, Asscher, Baguettes), You Need To Remember That These Are A Little Less Forgiving With Clarity Than Brilliant Cut Diamonds, And Extra Care Should Be Taken To Ensure The Stone Is ‘Eye Clean’. It Is Therefore Recommended That You Stay Within The VS+ Clarity Range For These Type Of Shapes. ‘Eye Clean’ Means The Clarity Characteristic(S) Can’t Be Seen With The Unaided Eye When Viewed Looking At The Crown.
