One of the many ways to determine the quality of a product such as loose diamonds is to have a set of classifications, from best to worst. And we know that in the diamond industry there is a term for a flawless diamond. And really, there is no such thing. The higher power now of looking inside a gem reveal a complex web of intricacy inside the diamond. But they all have flaws. Every diamond was formed under intense searing heat as like a thin volcano it was shooting out of the earth and exploding upon the local scene.
One can ask whether in fact clarity into a diamond affects its beauty. The answer is no, apparently clarity may have little effect on the majesty of the diamond if it falls within the first eight clarity grades. The use of your loupe has you looking into gems at the full legal extent of American standards. But you should know there are more refined looking glasses that see flaws your loupe will not see. If a jeweler offers to show you other gems, or on the internet, make sure you have your legal 10x loupe or the equivalent.
Most of us assume that the clarity grade affects the diamond's brilliance and sparkle. This is not so. As to clarity and quality, it is due to the fact that the better the clarity, the more white and apparently clear, the higher the value. If you are the buyer, remember the importance of the flaw grade, or clarity grade. Why? Because it indicates how clean the diamond is. This has an effect on cost. The cleaner the diamond, the rarer. The rarer the diamond, the more expensive.
A diamond need not be flawless to be gloriously beautiful. The Clarity Grade requires extensive investigation as a 10x magnification. If a more precise measurement detect a flaw not found on a standard 10x Loupe, the measurement of the 10x Loupe shall prevail. Thus, the Clarity Grade is based on what can be seen when the diamond is examined with magnification under a loupe. What is determined is what can be seen by the naked eye and with a ten times magnification.
The clarity grade is based on the number, color, size, of imperfections or flaws. The rare flawless grade is given to a stone so perfect in its shape and form. How much you play with your loupe prepares you for your budding gemologists group. Clarity grading requires intensive training to deal with the many grades of loose diamonds and variations involved.
