Diamonds and Fine Jewelry

 Diamond inclusions are flaws that end up effecting the overall clarity of the diamond. This allows visual imperfections in the diamond; however, most flaws or imperfections can rarely be seen with the naked eye.

Here are some examples you may find of diamond inclusions.

• Carbons  usually have some effect on the clarity of the diamond because they show small black dots on the surface of the diamond. Some can actually be seen by the naked eye, and others need to be magnified to see them.
• Pinpoints are usually white dots than can be found on the surface of a diamond. These are the most common type of flaws that can be found.
• Clouds are smaller growths in the diamond that are grouped together. When they are very close together they create a cloud-effect in the diamond. 
• Feathers are small cracks in the diamond that may remind you of broken glass.
