When diamond shopping, one of the "Four Cs" that you should be aware of is clarity...here is a clear explanation, and don't forget to reach out to your friendly jeweler when you need expert advice! [email protected]

GIA’s clarity scale has 11 potential grades for clarity. Clarity refers to a diamond's appearance when examined under 10X magnification, specifically assessing the presence, size, number, and location of internal inclusions and external blemishes.
If you’re looking for a round brilliant diamond without any visible inclusions, diamonds from Flawless (F) down to VS₁ don’t have any inclusions visible to the unaided eye. However, it is possible for minor surface blemishes to appear on Internally Flawless grades.
If you’re looking for a diamond without visible inclusions that is also relatively affordable, consider diamonds in the VS₁, VS₂ and SI₁ grades. All diamonds in the VS₁ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye. Most diamonds in the VS₂ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye, and some diamonds in the SI₁ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye.
Because diamonds in the VS₂ and SI₁ grades cost less, finding a diamond with no inclusions visible to the naked eye can be an incredible value.
Be careful about going down to the I category to save money, however, as many of these diamonds may appear dull and may be prone to damage or cracking.

You may have heard about the HOPE Diamond...so here are some facts for you to become more acquainted!

The Hope Diamond is world-renowned for its striking deep blue color, immense value, and mysterious and often tragic history. 👻 The Hope Diamond was first discovered in the legendary Golconda mines of India and eventually became part of the French Crown Jewels after being acquired by King Louis XIV in the 17th century. After the French Revolution, during which King Louis XVI was famously executed, the diamond was stolen along with other royal treasures. Another notable owner was American socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean, who experienced significant personal tragedies after acquiring the stone including the passing of two of her children and falling into financial ruin.
The Hope Diamond was eventually recut into its current 45.52-carat form and became legendary for its supposed curse. Its unusual color, graded Fancy Deep grayish blue by GIA in 1988, and its eerie red phosphorescence (shown in image 3) add to its mystique.
In 1958 the Hope Diamond was donated to the Institution, where it remains a major attraction today. Some believe its curse has been broken (🤞), but it continues to fascinate millions.
Have you had a chance to see it in person? 👻
