Understanding Diamond Clarity
The **clarity** of a diamond refers to the number and distribution of internal and surface imperfections — known as **inclusions and blemishes**. These natural ‘fingerprints’ make each diamond unique.
Flawless diamonds are rare and precious, prized for their pure transparency and perfect light reflection. As the purity increases, so does the diamond's overall brilliance and value.
“The fewer the flaws, the higher the brilliance — and the greater the value.”
