Diamond Clarity
When you're looking to buy a diamond, you'll notice that the clarity has a large impact on the price and may or not make a difference to the appearance of the stone to the naked eye.
The clarity is a measurement of the amount of impurities and imperfections trapped within the diamond when it was formed over 1 billion years ago. Clarity grade is given to the diamond by assessing the quantity, type, and position of inclusions within the stone.
Diamond Certification
Diamond certification is an important issue because it delivers an official paper, alomst like a kind of a passport for a polished diamond. It is being used by traders and consumers, and it contains vital information to determine the value of a diamond. This covers the four C's: cut, clarity, colour, and carat, and the so-called fifth C of confidence.
