Clarity is defined as: a measure of internal defects of a diamond called inclusions. These inclusions can be foreign materials or structural
imperfections and are generally graded by what is visible to a jeweler at 10x
magnification.
Many of the diamonds mined today
aren’t considered acceptable for use as a gemstone; only 20% make the cut, so
to speak, and the rest are consigned to industrial use.
Clarity can range from flawless (perfect)
to I (included). Below are explanations for each of the ranking levels, as
standardized by certification societies.
