The clarity of a diamond is influenced by the amount and location of flaws in the diamond when viewed under 10 power (10x) magnification. GIA rates clarity grades in diamonds from Flawless to Imperfect. Most diamonds contain very tiny blemishes known as “inclusions.” An inclusion can interfere with the light passing through the diamond. The fewer the inclusions, the more beautiful the diamond will be. Similar to scrateches on the face of your watch.

Diamonds have the potential of producing more brilliance than any other gem on earth. A diamond that is free of inclusions and surface blemishes is very rare…and therefore very valuable.  The most expensive diamond we found online so far is a 13.53 Carat Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring VS1. Ironically it was on Ebay.
