A diamond purchase is a big one. It should not be taken lightly. There are several factors to consider when determining the value of a diamond. Diamond clarity is a very important factor to weigh into the overall value of the diamond. While many people realize that the clarity of a diamond is important, they are still unsure of how to determine it. Probably the best way to determine the clarity of a diamond is to take it to a gemological lab. These labs are equipped with the ability to clearly tell what and how many blemishes there may be. Some will likely be impossible to tell to the naked eye. There are several different types of blemishes that can occur in a diamond, too. It can have a cloud that blocks light from reflecting. They can also have cracks or even dark spots within. If any of these flaws are visible to the naked eye, one can be certain that the diamond clarity is not good. Generally, it is judged based off of a scale. There are different types of grading scales that are used from different labs; however, most of them have about five levels ranging anywhere from flawless to completely included. The majority of diamond buyers are unable to afford completely flawless diamonds; however, the next level is usually so slightly flawed that it is still not visible to the naked eye. Those who take their diamonds to a gemological lab can be sure that the clarity grade will be figured correctly.
