Jewelry Appraisal CenterThough understands diamond clarity grade helps establish the value of a diamond, it must also be said that among the four factors that help determine a diamond's value, clarity is the least important. However, jewelers won't let you know about this and they will generally try and convince buyers that diamond clarity grade is important in helping to understand how well a diamond is.
This is because it is very easy to determine and demonstrate the diamond clarity grade as opposed to showing the color grade, and cut of the diamond.
Under The Microscope
The fact is that it only requires putting a diamond under a microscope to demonstrate the diamond clarity grade while it takes much more (knowledge of gemology) to determine the color and cut of a diamond. Therefore, jewelers that do not have adequate knowledge about gemology will use the diamond clarity grade as a means to convince buyers about the high value of their diamonds.
Still, when looking for acceptable diamond clarity grade, it is necessary to establish that the diamond in question has a grading of at least S12.
It is therefore a great idea to look for such diamonds first and after this you can then start to look at features such as color and cut. There are of course several different diamond clarity grades that you will need to know about in order to be sure of purchasing better quality diamonds.

The flawless diamond clarity grade is one that refers to diamonds that do not have any inclusions even when the diamond is put under 10x magnifications. The next diamond clarity grade is the one known as VVS1 grade in which one very small inclusion may occur and that too on the upper as well as outer edge of the diamond.
The VVS2 grade refers to diamonds with small pinpoint on the outermost parts of the diamond.
Next, the VAS1 diamond clarity grade is one in which the diamond has tiny pinpoint as well as small feather clouds on the outer side of the diamond.
The S11 grade shows clouds of pinpoint inclusion as well as feathers on the outermost edge of the diamond while the S12 grade refers to diamonds that have clouds of feathers, inclusions as well as a tiny sized feather located in the stone's table.
It is necessary to make use of a diamond clarity guide in order to understand the different diamond clarity grades which will then make it easier to determine the clarity of diamond.
Absence of common clarity flaws known as surface blemishes and internal inclusions help a diamond remain flawless while presence of such flaws detracts from the appeal and value of the diamond.
