CLARITY:
In order to grade the clarity of a diamond, it is
necessary to observe the number and nature of any internal
characteristics in the stone as well as their size and position. This
analysis is carried out using the IGI scope and a loupe 10x under the
experienced eye of laboratory gemologists. A diamond is said to be
"Internally Flawless" when it presents no internal defects
under 10x magnification. "Flawless" is the highest grade of
gem stone, where no internal inclusions or surface imperfections are
visible under ten power magnification. "Internally Flawless"
describes stones with no visible interior imperfection but having minor
surface blemishes which do show under magnification. This top
"perfect grade" is also extremely expensive... In 1980 a
"D" Flawless one carat sold for about $60,000 where the price
has been devalued lately to around $15,000.... if someone
tells you that a fine flawless diamond is "an investment"....
