Diamond Info: Clarity

Almost all diamonds contain minute pieces of non crystallised carbon. These identifying features are called inclusions. The size, nature, location, and amount of inclusions determine a diamond's clarity and subsequently affect its value. Roll-over the images below for more information:

A diamond's unique inclusions were bestowed by nature when the diamond was formed millions of years ago deep beneath the earth's surface. The fewer the amount of inclusions in a diamond the rarer and consequently the more valuable the diamond is.
