1. Clarity: diamonds are creatures of nature, internal more or less contain some imperfections, these defects is diamond in the growth process wrapped in diamond internal small crystal, cloud, needle point disc, small crack, etc. Clarity grade is professional in 10 times a magnifying glass, according to the observed defects in the size, number and position, etc., is divided into five level 10 small stage.
