SI2 Clarity Diamond Tutorial
Click to Watch
Here is a lineup of three excellent cut diamonds with SI2 clarity grades per the GIA grading system. Let's focus on the two stones on the ends as you need to AVOID at all costs. The one on the left has heavy black crystal inclusions which can easily be seen by the naked eye as shown in the video. These dark spots are hard to miss and distract from the diamond's beauty. On the right side is perhaps an even worse SI2 clarity diamond that is so heavily included with clouds that it lacks transparency and gives off a hazy/milky appearance. You will notice that it lacks brilliance, fire and the overall luster that a diamond is known for.
