FL Diamonds: The Maximum Purity in Jewellery


Welcome to the GioielliOro.eu blog, your trusted jewelry store with a physical presence since 1988, also online! We are proud to offer a large assortment of certified diamonds, with over 15,000 stones to choose from. Today, we want to delve deeper into a fascinating and little-known topic: FL (Flawless) clarity diamonds.


What is a FL (Flawless) diamond?


FL diamonds represent the pinnacle of diamond clarity. FL stands for "Flawless", which means the diamond is 100% pure, both internally and externally. This level of clarity is superior even to IF (Internally Flawless) diamonds, which are internally pure but may have tiny external imperfections that are only visible under high magnification.


Difference between FL and IF purity


The clarity of a diamond is determined by the presence or absence of inclusions and imperfections. Here are the main differences between the two highest purity grades:
• FL (Flawless): An FL diamond has no visible inclusions or imperfections, even under 10x magnification. It is completely free of defects both internally and externally.
• IF (Internally Flawless): An IF diamond has no internal inclusions visible under 10x magnification, but may have tiny external imperfections.


Cost Comparison: Clarity FL vs. IF in Diamonds


When it comes to purchasing the highest quality diamonds, clarity is one of the most determining factors. FL (Flawless) diamonds represent the highest degree of both internal and external purity, while IF (Internally Flawless) diamonds are internally pure but may have minimal external imperfections. Below, we compare the costs of FL and IF diamonds for specific carats, highlighting how clarity affects the price.

FLawless Diamonds (FL)


 0.30 carat diamond, D-FL, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: €1200.00
 0.50 carat diamond, D-FL, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: €3000.00
 1.00 carat diamond, D-FL, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: over €17000.00

Internally Flawless (IF) Diamonds


 0.30 carat diamond, D-IF, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: €900.00
 0.50 carat diamond, D-IF, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: €2600.00
 1.00 carat diamond, D-IF, EX EX EX, no fluorescence, NO BGM: over €13000.00


Cost analysis


As you can see, FL diamonds have a significantly higher cost than IF diamonds, especially as the carat weight increases. This exponential increase in price is due to the rarity and absolute perfection of FL diamonds. FL diamond buyers are typically very discerning and seek only the best in clarity and quality.



Gemological certifications and "Clarity Characteristics"


Gemological certifications, such as those from the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), report in detail the purity characteristics of a diamond. "Clarity Characteristics" includes information on any imperfections such as "pinpoints" or "clouds". An FL diamond, being free of imperfections, will have the wording "none" in the clarity characteristics.
