Most of the natural
diamonds and other
gemstones that are found on the Earth’s crust contain a few inclusions and flaws. These flaws and inclusions will have a major impact on the
clarity grading of
diamonds.
The Gemological Institute of America usually assigns the following
clarity grades to
diamonds.
- Inclusions 1
- Inclusions 2
- Small Inclusions 1
- Small Inclusions 2
- Very Small Inclusions 1
- Very Small Inclusions 2
- Very Very Small Inclusions 1
- Very Very Small Inclusions 2
- Internally Flawless
The inclusion on most VS1
diamond engagement rings will be barely visible even
when the center
stone of the
rings are observed under a standard jeweler’s loupe. This means that it will take a trained eye to spot the inclusions and blemishes in
VS1 clarity diamond rings. Yet again, expert
diamond ring manufacturers say that the inclusions and flaws in
VS1 diamond engagement rings are hardly noticeable to the naked eye, particularly when the
carat size of the
diamonds is less than 2
carats.
