The Diamond Guide

The Clarity

A diamond's clarity reveals the presence or absence of small internal and external characteristics, called inclusions and surface blemishes.

The rarer and more discreet they are, the greater the purity of the diamond.

The Clarity Scale

A diamond's clarity is evaluated under 10× magnification, based on the size, number, position, and visibility of its inclusions.

GIA diamond clarity scale from FL to I3
FL – IFFLAWLESS / INTERNALLY FLAWLESSFlawless to extremely pure
VVS1 – VVS2VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDEDInclusions extremely difficult to detect
VS1 – VS2VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDEDMinor inclusions
SI1 – SI2SLIGHTLY INCLUDEDInclusions noticeable under magnification
I1 – I3INCLUDEDInclusions visible to the naked eye

A Difference
Often Invisible
to the Naked Eye

Two different clarity grades can appear almost identical to the naked eye.

Certain inclusions only become visible under magnification, while their position and nature can influence how they are perceived.

the diamond's beauty.

At NEVRYS, we favor diamonds in clarity grades VVS to VS, in order to preserve a pure, luminous, and harmonious appearance, in keeping with the elegance of each creation.
