Clarity refers to the amount of inclusions, or slight imperfections, within a diamond. Inclusions occur when tiny bits of minerals, gas, or fluids get trapped during the formation process.

These are naturally occurring and form in both Natural and Lab Grown diamonds, although it is usually easier to control inclusions within the lab growth process.The less inclusions a diamond has, the higher its clarity. This, however, does not always mean a higher clarity is preferable!

Diamonds with some inclusions are often completely clean to the naked eye and are undetectable just from looking at the stone.

While a certain level of clarity is often sought by buyers, clarity does not affect features like brilliance or sparkle. How a diamond is Cut can disperse and refract light differently, making imperfections virtually invisible to the eye. Read on to learn more about Cut and its impact on a stone.
