Clarity ranges from the best grade of FL, down through IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2 until I3. Clarity refers to the number and density of inclusion in the diamond. Most diamonds contain some inner flaws, or inclusions, that occur during the formation process. The visibility, number of inclusion, location and size of these inclusions determine the clarity of a diamond.When the inclusions are discernable in the diamond under a 10x magnification lens it can be said as an ideal clarity (a clean stone). Inclusions greatly affect the beauty and value of a diamond because they absorb the light rather than allowing it to be reflected back through the front side of the stone.

Depending on the presence of internal and external imperfections present in the diamond, it is graded for its clarity. Clarity ranges from the best grade of FL, down through IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2 until I3.




FL Flawless, No internal or external flaws.
IF I Ntev hally flawless.
VVS1, VVS2 Very, Very Slightly Included: Very difficult to see inclusions under 10x magnification. An excellent quality diamond.
VS1, VS2 Very Slightly Included: Inclusions are not typically visible to the unaided eye
SI1, SI2 Slightly Included: Inclusions are visible under 10x magnification, and may be visible with the unaided eye.
I1, I2, I3 The inclusions are visible with naked eye.
