It is a rarity.
The clarity or purity of a diamond is determined by the presence
or absence of tiny natural birthmarks known as "inclusions."
Most inclusions are not visible to the naked eye, but only under
powerful magnification. The fewer and smaller the inclusions, the
more rare and beautiful the diamond. While inclusions usually cannot
be seen, their presence reduces the price because the diamonds are
more readily available.
Clarity is graded on a scale with a range from internally flawless
to imperfect. Usually, an unaided eye will begin to see inclusions
at I1 and below.
Mervis Diamond Importers offers all clarity grades, with an emphasis
at the upper-end of the scale.
