No two diamonds are identical. This is part of what makes a diamond so special and such a prized gift – its uniqueness. The uniqueness of a diamond stems from a number of factors, some, such as the cut, dependent on the skill of the artist and some, such as the clarity that are naturally occurring.

What is clarity?

When we talk about the clarity of a diamond, we are referring to blemishes or impurities within the stone. No two diamonds will have the same impurities in much the same way as no two people have the same fingerprints. In fact, when you buy your diamond you will receive a certificate from an independent assessment laboratory such as GIA or AGSL that describes in exact detail your stone, including its impurities. Because these characteristics are unique to your diamond, this is often referred to as diamonds ID and is used to verify the authenticity of any particular stone.
