This set of questions helps graders arrive at a conclusion for Clarity grading:
Under the microscope,
- · Are there any blemishes or inclusions? If not, the grade is Flawless.
- Are there only a few blemishes? If so, the grade is IF.
- · Are the inclusions very difficult to see (in other words, are they minute)? If so, the grade is in the VVS range.
- · Are the inclusions in a range from difficult to somewhat easy to see (in other words, are they minor)? If so, the grade is in the VS range.
- · Are the inclusions easy to very easy to see (noticeable)? If so, the grade is in the SI range.
- · Are the inclusions all very easy to see (obvious)? If so, the grade is in the I range.
