Along with carat and color, diamond's clarity is one of the most important factors. Many people think the clarity of stone refers to how clear it is. In fact, diamond's clarity deals with inclusions (inside) and blemishes (outside the stone). To determine what kind of diamond you have, use the following clarity diamond ring tips. Take a loop and look at the stone through it. Do you see its blemishes or inclusions? Little imperfections don't impact diamond's sparkle, in addition, such a stone costs less. If you don't notice any blemish or inclusion, that means your diamond is “eye clean”, and its price is higher. However, you should also consider that unnatural diamonds are cheaper, so, if you have a limited budget and don't mind unnatural gems, such a diamond ring can be a reasonable choice.
If you are choosing a diamond ring with natural gems, but aren't ready to spend all your money, even if it is an engagement or a diamond wedding ring, you should select among diamonds with I ratings, such as I-1, I-2 or I-3 diamonds, where the later is the cheapest one. However, if imperfect stones don't please you, opt for other ratings. Thus, according to clarity diamond ring tips, SI ratings which means “slightly imperfect” can suit you. The next step up is represented by VS ratings referring to “very slightly imperfect”, and then the upper rating – VVS – follows.
There also are some useful clarity diamond ring tips as for buying. Ask the jeweler about the number of inclusions, their size, position, color and nature. Some inclusions can't be noticed with the naked eye, and if you keep this little secret, nobody will know about your diamond ring's imperfection. So, determine your budget and start choosing the most convenient diamond ring. |
