All diamonds have recognizing characteristics, but most are undetectable to the naked eye. To view a diamond, experts utilize a 10x expanding loupe which permits them to see the form of tiny crystals, feathers or clouds. These usual phenomena are called inclusions. There are five categories in class that anybody interested in acquiring a diamond should be approachable of when grading clarity.
FL (Flawless) - IF (Internally Flawless)Flawless Diamonds disclose no flaws on the surface or inside are the rarest and most attractive gems.
Internally Flawless Diamonds disclose no inclusions and merely insignificant blemishes on the surface below 10 x magnifications.
VVS1 - VVS2 (Very, Very Slightly Included)Very difficult to perceive inclusions below 10x magnification. These are admirable quality diamonds.
VS1 - VS2 (Very Slightly Included)Only looking during a 10X loupe can pinpoint the inclusions in this category and are near not possible to perceive with the naked eye. These are less classy than the VVS1 or VVS2 grades.
SI1 - SI3 (Slightly Included)Diamonds with inclusions smoothly identified below 10x magnification. Finding flaws in this category with the naked eye is hard. The gems in this category preserve their truthfulness, depending on the position of the inclusions.
I1 - I3 (Included)Diamonds with inclusions which may or may not be simply seen by the naked eye. The flaws on the stones in this category will have some result on the brightness of your diamond.
