The diamond clarity rating is something that you need to know before buying a diamond ring. In fact, the clarity is one of the most important factors. This rating will allow you to easily understand how much clarity a diamond has, but there are 2 things that I must go through first, inclusions and ‘eye clean’.

If you have a diamond that has inclusions or blemishes, this means that a person can look through a loop (a magnifying glass used specifically made for looking at diamonds) and see some imperfections within it. Although a diamond may seem perfect in it’s sparkle, one that has blemishes is normal. Don’t worry too much about the sound of ‘imperfections’ though. They are quite normal and may not be to easily seen by a passer by. However, keep in mind that having inclusions does effect the price.

If you have a diamond that is ‘eye clean’, this means that a person can look into the diamond and see no inclusions or blemishes. Since it is so perfect, it does increase the price. However, keep in mind that this is difference from a CZ that is manufactured for perfection. These are cheaper stones because of their unnatural nature. So after the clarity is determined, then it is broken down into subcategories.

When my friend was looking for an engagement ring, she mentioned that the clarity tells a person how clear the diamond is. However, she was mistaken. Since clarity deals with inclusions (inside) and blemishes (outside), these obviously don’t fully deal with how clear it is.

If you’re looking at at GIA chart, you’ll find some ratings to determine how perfect a diamond is. If you get a FL grade diamond, you are getting the best type of diamond – flawless. The next best thing is an IF grade diamond – which means internally flawless.

So as you see, it is easy to determine the grade a diamond. You can step into cheaper diamonds with I ratings. This means that the diamond is imperfect. You’ll see something like an I-1, I-2, or I-3, where I-3 is the most imperfect.

Don’t worry, there are still some other diamond rings that aren’t extremely cheap ore extremely expensive. You can look into ratings such as the VVS ratings. This means “very, very slightly imperfect”. You’ll see a VVS1 and a VVS2. Then the next step down from there is a VS1 or VS2, which means “very slightly imperfect”. Then SI is the next grade which means “slightly imperfect”.
