Diamonds and Fine Jewelry

Diamonds that have flaws are considered to be imperfect gems. Most can rarely be seen by the average person and besides, it is very rare to come across a diamond that is perfect. Here are few flaws that you should be careful with. They can reduce the value of your stone.

Mineral and Crystal Inclusion

These crystal/mineral inclusions can really offset the clarity of you diamond if there are enough of them that are grouped inside. However, there can be times when these inclusions add something special to the overall diamond. If they are small enough, the whole diamond can really become eye catching.

Pinpoint Inclusion

These can easily make the diamond worthless! This happens when there are small dark speckles in a diamond. If these speckles are bonded together, they can create a cloud in the diamond. These inclusions not only ruin the diamonds appearance but also its worth as well.

Lasers

Usually lasers have been used to help treat pinpoint inclusions but if mistakes are made, this can easily ruin the diamond. Lines can be left inside of the diamond that looks very similar to a thread. This easily makes the diamond less desirable.
