The Diamond Fingerprint
The Diamond Fingerprint Just like people, no two diamonds are alike and the
Clarity is the diamond fingerprint. Among the four "Cs" of diamond value,
"clarity" embraces the inner appearance of diamonds. In keeping with the precise
nature of determining diamond value, clarity has its own scale of measurement.
Nearly all diamonds have inclusions. Bubbles, specks and lines are inclusions
that give each diamond its own inner signature. The clarity scale accounts for
these microscopic imperfections. Gems with the fewest inclusions are the rarest
and costliest. So minute are many inclusions that they can be seen only under
10-power magnification. That means your diamond may contain inclusions
undetectable to the naked eye.
