Diamond Clarity 101

Diamond Clarity 101: Because Flaws Are for Humans, Not Your Jewelry

💎 I Clarity (Included) – Perfectly Imperfect 

• Visible inclusions (aka little birthmarks inside the diamond)
• Can have noticeable flaws to the naked eye
• Best for: Those who don’t mind a little “character” to save some $$$. They’re also good for pieces using smaller sized stones, such as a mini tennis necklace, because the inclusions aren’t as noticeable.

💎 SI Clarity (Slightly Included) – Flaw? What Flaw?

• Inclusions are there, but usually not obvious without a magnifying glass.
• A great balance between beauty and budget— SI diamonds are the ultimate hack.
• Best for: Those who want sparkle without the markup. This is the most common diamond clarity used amongst mid-to-high end jewellers.

💎 VS Clarity (Very Slightly Included) – The Sweet Spot

• Tiny inclusions, but you’ll need a jeweler’s loupe to spot them.
• Super sparkly and high-quality, without the “Flawless” price tag.
• Best for: The girl who wants luxury.

💎 VVS Clarity (Very, Very Slightly Included) – Practically Perfect

• So clear that even your jeweler has to squint to find a flaw.
• Next-level brilliance, close to “Flawless” without the extra zeros.
• Best for: The ones who like their diamonds (and their standards) high.
