- See clarity first, buy later.
Unless you have a high confidence level: See before you buy. Look at the diamonds of your choice with a good loupe (10x magnification).
Many online mass diamond stores, lower-end mall jewelry outlets, department stores, shopping channels & warehouse type discount outlets sell diamonds of poor clarity quality.
Look at a diamond not set in a jewel : prongs and bezels (metal frames) can hide inclusions, blemishes and chips.
Diamond Tip Learning
- The term "clarity" refers to how clear or pure a diamond is. The clarity grade is determined by a skilled diamond grader based upon the number, color, size, nature and location of the internal ('inclusions') and external ('blemishes') imperfections.
