Clarity measures the number of internal flaws (inclusions) and external marks (blemishes). These natural imperfections occur during diamond formation. Clarity grades from the GIA scale include: • Flawless (FL) – no imperfections • Very Slightly Included (VS1-VS2) – minor flaws, usually invisible to naked eye • Slightly Included (SI1-SI2) – small inclusions visible under magnification • Included (I1 and below) – visible flaws that may affect appearance For great value, VS clarity diamonds are popular — eye-clean and reasonably priced. What Is Diamond Cut? Cut refers to how well a diamond’s facets are shaped to reflect light. It affects sparkle more than size or clarity. Cut grades are: • Excellent • Very Good • Good • Lower grades produce less brilliance A well-cut diamond shines brighter and looks larger. ________________________________________ How Ritzin Helps You Choose Right Tips for Selecting Clarity and Cut • Prioritize cut quality over clarity for better sparkle. • For everyday wear, VS1-VS2 clarity is ideal. • Smaller stones can have slightly lower clarity without losing beauty.
