Unless it is a large diamond, the clarity grade has little effect on the visible appearance of the diamond. The bigger the diamond is, the bigger the cut surface is, and the cut surface will increase the visibility of clarity. In the 4C standard of diamonds, clarity is considered as the least important quality, because the brilliance of diamonds is mainly determined by the cutting. The higher your diamond cutting level, the harder it is for you to find the parcel.
How is the clarity level determined? The clarity grade is determined by the number, size, color and position of inclusions or defects in the gem. "Flawless" gemstones (FL) are observed under the magnifying glass of 10 times, and there is no package inside and no flaw outside. As far as the clarity rating is concerned, as long as the package cannot be seen under the magnifying glass of 10 times, it is considered not to exist. Is it true that the higher the clarity grade of some diamonds with specific shapes, the better?
Generally speaking, the higher your diamond cutting level, the harder it is for you to find the parcel. However, there are some cutting methods that require the highest possible clarity level, such as "square" or "emerald"-both shapes of diamonds use step cutting, which makes it easier to detect the clarity problem than other cutting methods.
Therefore, we suggest that when you buy diamonds of these shapes, you should choose a purity of VS 1 or above, and try your best to ensure that there are no obvious packages in your favorite diamonds. What does it mean to say that diamonds are flawless to the naked eye? A diamond that is "flawless to the naked eye" refers to a diamond that cannot be observed by the naked eye from the distance between the desktop and one arm without the help of instruments.
A ring is inlaid with three diamonds. Should the standards of color, cut and clarity of each diamond be unified? If you want to buy three diamond rings, it is recommended that you choose diamonds with the same cut level, but the color and clarity may be different. As far as color is concerned, the difference between the three grades is invisible to the naked eye. For example, diamonds in colors D, E and F have exactly the same visual effect. As far as clarity is concerned, diamonds above and including VS2 all look the same.
Color grading standard
Color:
As a prism, diamonds can decompose white light into seven colors in the spectrum and reflect colored flashes, which is called "fire color". In an ideal state, diamond is completely equiaxed, and has no selective absorption in the visible range, so it is colorless. However, naturally occurring colorless and pure diamonds are extremely rare, and most diamonds are destroyed by the external growth environment during their long growth process, resulting in different shades of colors.
Color grading standard
Class d: completely colorless. The highest color level is very rare.
Class e: colorless class. Only jewelry experts can find subtle color traces. It belongs to rare diamonds.
Class f: colorless class. Only expert jewelers can detect subtle colors, but they can still be regarded as "colorless". It belongs to high quality diamonds.
G-H grade: close to colorless grade. Compared with higher-grade diamonds, you can see the color, but the price is extremely high.
I-J grade: close to colorless grade. The color is slightly visible. Excellent cost performance.
K-M level: color visual level.
N-Z level: color visual level.
The importance of color
How important is color when buying diamonds?
When buying diamonds, color is the most important diamond quality besides cutting. When you see a diamond, the first thing the human eye notices is the cut of the diamond, and then the color. When you consider buying larger diamonds, color is particularly important, because the more light reflected by a large diamond, the easier it is to be noticed. In addition, stepped diamond shapes, such as "cushion" and "radiant", emit less light, which will make them have the function of adding color compared with other diamonds with more facets.
Which color grade is the most cost-effective?
Grade I and J diamonds are slightly visible in color, but cost-effective, especially "round" or "princess square" diamonds. These shapes of diamonds have more facets and can reflect more light, so they can mask the color of the diamond itself.
Both are "colorless" diamonds. What's the difference between D, E and F diamonds?
Comparing the chromatic aberration from D to J, the colored diamond of D is completely colorless and the rarest and most precious. With the naked eye, Grade E and Grade F are colorless, and only jewelry experts can detect the color of such diamonds.
