About Diamond Clarity
A diamond's clarity is determined by two factors, inclusions and blemishes. Blemishes are flaws such as scratches, pits, or chips that are located on the surface of the stone. Inclusions are flaws such as bubbles, or cracks.
Hayden Croft diamond wedding bands are all set with quality stones that fall within the SI1 - SI3 clarity range. These are your best value and perfect for wedding bands because the very slight flaws cannot be seen with the naked eye - not even by a trained professional.
| Scale | Clarity Description |
|---|---|
| FL Flawless | No flaws of any kind |
| IF Internally Flawless | Minor surface blemishes |
| VVS1 - VVS2 Very, Very Slightly Included | Inclusions that are difficult to see even with a professional magnifier |
| SI1 - SI3 Slightly Included | Flaws can be readily seen with a magnifier, but not with the naked eye. |
| I1 - I3 Imperfect | Medium to large inclusions that are visible to the naked eye |
