One of the main things that you may mull over in regards to
gemstones and
diamond rings are their respective clarity. Most people know that clarity is one among the
4 C’s of a
diamond and is considered to determine its quality. Therefore, it is a wise decision to shop a
diamond that exhibits good clarity. Yet if you are on a tight budget, you may choose an included
diamond that seems flawless when viewed with naked eyes. After all, who is going to check your
ring with a
diamond loupe or magnifier?
In the case of
gemstones, there are many factors to consider; one of the main things being the intensity of color.
Gemstones are also graded based on their clarity and the principle used to determine the clarity of a
gemstone is also the same as that of a
diamond. However, one difference between
diamonds and
gemstones here is that the latter has a better clarity grade.
Additionally, the relationship between the clarity and quality of a
gemstone is not as straightforward as that of
diamonds. In
diamonds, lesser inclusions mean more
brilliance, whereas in
gemstones, more inclusions will impart more appeal to the
gemstone. In fact,
gemstones get their color because of the presence of various chemicals.
