The clariy of the diamond
If you are reading this article it means that you are interested in buying a diamond and that you want to know more. Don't worry, make yourself comfortable, I will explain everything you need to know about the purity of diamonds. Giving a diamond or buying it for yourself is equivalent to celebrating an important moment, the graduation, the birth of a child, the promise of marriage, therefore the best is always sought.
Diamonds are formed in the depths of the earth through carbon that turns into diamond at very high temperatures and pressures for which inclusions (imperfections) can be generated inside the diamond.
What is the clarity of diamonds
Evaluating the purity of a diamond is an extremely complex procedure that aims to precisely identify the degree of purity of the diamond and then establish a commercial price.
The inclusions generated are of different types, varying between them, due to the old classification such as "clean to the eye" which often generated bad interpretations but thanks to GIA Institute Genmological Of America which invented an innovative classification used today all over the world by designing the 4Cs: Color, Carat, Clarity, Cut, in Italian Color, Carartura, Purity, Cut that give the possibility to classify a stone according to precise international standards.
During the classification of the diamond purity, it is necessary to identify the exact degree of purity of the stone according to the inclusions that are divided by quantity, position, type, color, (cloud, fracture, feather, compression ...) observing the stone with a 10 magnification lens the gemological laboratory GIA will be able to assign the right degree of purity indicating with FL (flawless) a pure diamond externally and internally visible with a 10 magnification lens up to a grade called piquè which indicates inclusions visible even to the naked eye .
Purity is a fundamental peculiarity, small variations in purity lead to large variations in the price.
The clarity of diamonds, as it affects the price
Finding a pure diamond is extremely difficult therefore being rare it increases its commercial value, the question of purity is a very delicate topic as a pure stone must at the same time have cutting values, of color, which are equally high because the purity alone is not sufficient to guarantee the total beauty of the stone. Furthermore, it should be added that a well-cut diamond therefore with an EX (excellente) rating manages to hide some inclusions from the eye, generating a cheaper stone and still obtaining the wow effect.
