CLARITY Natural diamonds are created when carbon is exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth. During this process, various internal characteristics called 'inclusions' and external characteristics occur.

But the closer it comes to purity, the better its clarity is. C ..read more

As the carat weight of a diamond increases, it becomes rarer and more valuable, in conjunction with its cla ..read more
