Comments on: What Is Diamond Clarity? http://www.precious.ie/blog/what-is-diamond-clarity/ Diamond Engagement Rings, Diamond Jewellery Mon, 01 Nov 2010 12:03:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: eoin http://www.precious.ie/blog/what-is-diamond-clarity/comment-page-1/#comment-484 eoin Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:59:01 +0000 http://www.precious.ie/?p=1284#comment-484 I am very glad our information was of help to you. At Precious we consider the cut to be far more important than clarity. As long as the clarity is above our recommendations, at least a good Si1 accompanied with a reputable certificate and having no visible inclusions. A Precious diamonds’ light performance will be seen on your jewellery for years to come. The Fire, Brilliance and Scintillation (Sparkle) of a Diamond is largely determined by the skill of the Diamond Cutter when polishing and shaping a Diamond. Fire is the rainbow of colour and flashes seen in a precious diamond as a result of the white light entering and splitting, unmarred by inclusions into its full spectrum. Brilliance is a the very bold reflection of white light shining out from within and scintillation is diamond’s allure, the teasing sparkle of glistening light seen from the corners of the facets when you move. When viewing a diamond always ask to see them under natural light. Shop lights can mask defects in Diamonds and enhance the Diamond’s sparkle unnaturally. So our recommendation is, provided your diamond is of ‘good’ Si1 clarity ... Go for cut! I am very glad our information was of help to you.

I was wondering if you believe clarity to be more important than cut, in other words if you were pricing a diamond, which of the two would you prioratise? Many thanks Hi there,
