Comparisons of Diamond Clarity Grades

- This video shows the not all diamonds which have the same grade of clarity are of the same quality when viewed under the microscope. When a diamond is given a grade of clarity, this is a range and some will appear very different to others.

It’s called the 4 cs for a reason. If you want a beautiful stone you need to be looking at VS2 clarity or above, J colour or above, and an excellent cut. The carat size is least relevant.
It’s better to have a smaller stone with fire and sparkle than a large discoloured or included rock.
Agree. I've seen one carat stones that look like a pebble
Well this has me shook. I never considered that while the clarity and color would be nice, that stones can still have these types of imperfections. Very informative, thanks
Thanks very much for your comment. Glad you found the information useful :)

I am a GIA Graduate Gemologist.
The industey uses the term "GIA Certified" as a sales gimmick to sell diamonds. By and large, the industry misuses the reports and turns them into something that they're not.
They are lab reports, not certificates.
This is SO helpful! There's nothing worse than making a huge purchase uneducated...thank you!

My boyfri- *fiance* got me a VVSI grade diamond. (Actually, there are three on the ring) So it is slightly smaller than a most of diamonds you can see for the same price range but it practically glows as if it has it's own light source & sparkles like glitter. And I love it. I don't even care if most people can't tell the difference in quality. I think he did good. Other diamonds almost look dirty next to it.
Vvs1 is a damn good diamond
it dose have it's own light source, in a sense. When light pass'es through a diamond the light slows down to half it's speed. That is how dense a diamond is. So the light passing through gets trapped . They also can record audio and video, AND play it back.
@@TheSerpentEagle you are telling a myth!
whats really important is that when you buy one online, call in more than you need and send some back. That is important, and in the highest levels of diamond trading this is absolutely normal. On good diamond trading websites, it is normal that conditions to call in and then reject / send back diamonds are very fair. You call in 5 and send back 4 and compared to what you got by studying the stones, and compared to the price of that one, its a must. Investing transportation costs is worth it.
and you can buy it anywhere, you have to be careful with the internet, but if I had the money to have one of these fascinating stones! I drool over the ads! :(
i dont understand the content but im 100% sure im getting scammed somehow.
If GIA certifications are not comprehensive, is GIA scamming me or are you?
Diamond rarity - the supply peaked in 2005 so prices are going to continue to climb and supply will end up diminishing.
Diamond ethicality: 40% of the diamond market (including conflict free Canadian, blah blah) are unable to be traced from their original suppliers. Impossible to know if they are “blood diamonds” or not.
Diamond durability: on Moh’s hardness they are 10. Moissanite is 9.5, and most of the other precious gems are like 6-8 range. They are meant to last.
Diamond resale: not necessarily immediately “worthless”. Depending on your attributes and discounts at original purchase, they can still sell relatively high and with profit.
Everyone shits on diamonds but consider these facts before you judge anyone for their decision to buy a natural diamond.
Couldn't help but notice the similarities in phonetics this guy has with Iwan Rheon from Game of Thrones.
Seriously a very helpful video though! Concise and good video quality too. Thank you.
I know this may seem strange to others. But I love diamonds with inclusions.
The galaxy opal and Schiller sunstone are my favourite stones. For the beauty and randomness of their flaws and inclusions.
But for the hardness, I would love a flawed 2ct stone, pear-shaped diamond as our engagement ring.
And would like a Z colour with plenty of inclusions, anything from carbon spots to feather, crystal, needle or clouds.
Is that a weird request? Can I consider that a challenge for you to find me one pease?

Nice and informative... 1 request From where you have created this moving diamond (polished to hearts and arrow)
...Most jewelers only talk about color amd clarity because they are not educated enough to know what exceptional stones look like and they know that the average consumer doesn't know any better; they're being hoodwinked. Grading reports are important, but they shouldn't be used as the reason for why a customer buys a stone.
Natural Rock crystal colors less certificate kya hota hey
very informativ
Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Very good presentation. I noticed on those two diamonds you show, where one has a large cloud, that even though they are both graded SI2, there will be a big price difference in the two, due to the cloud present ion one of them.
I would say, GIA might be wise to add a new diamond grade that can address clouds. Either that, or GIA maybe should not grade diamonds like the .90 carat one shown as being SI2. I would say, a grade of I1 would be more appropriate. :)
Good video though mate :)
I think usually if a diamond is cloudy it's because it has more florescence. The higher the Florence the cloudier it is
This dudes whole destiny was to make this ad
This video is incredibly misleading. There are no such things as "GIA Certified" diamonds. GIA grades diamonds and produces Lab Reports, and nowhere on the report does it indicate "certificate" or "certified." Clarity and color are the way the vast majority of jewelers sell diamonds. Cut quality is far and away the most importand "C" and can determine up to 60% of the value of a stone.
Well still diamonds are still a scam. A ring wasn't even thought to be needed until the 1920s when advertisement started saying "if. You don't have a dimond for ur girl, u hate her" and dimond are also a common stone and a dimond ring is a lot more expensive than a gold one or moissanite ring just because it's pretty and a stone doesn't make it the only one
It isn't a scam. Owning something which is very beautiful, which is millions of years old produced under immense pressure and which is very rare can be a great pleasure to own and to give as a gift. But I would agree, diamonds are not the only option. Personally I also love natural rubies and sapphires - whilst the appearance is very different to diamond, they can also make a gorgeous ring.
Tar is a few billion years old... beside, I would win more with meteoric iron, if I want to go out of the ordinary.
Ring for weddings go back at least to the ancient Greeks.
@@SamaraJamesJewellers scam. 80% markup
If it's a scam why do royal families all over the world don diamond jewellery. It's pretty and valuable. That's why
The clarity was the clearest he had ever seen n it's ban which was patinum had been enlarged to 7 1/2 . the jewler said due to the excellent quality he could not value it but believed due to its purity he thought it was well over 60 thousand n closer to 100 thousand dollars. And remains missing to this day.
I'll take an O diamond because nobody wants to replicate the stone and I will know my diamond is truly authentic.
Very informative. Thank you, Julian.
Hey Man, Amazing Video, this was amazing and very informing, Have an Amazing Day! I subbed too! Amazing Job!
I saw a 1.27ct,f color and a si1 clarity? Do u think I should go ahead and buy it instead? Is si1 bad?
Friend I have also stop selling and black and 535 kg or CT. 1,070
Great video!
GET the PRECIOUS!!! Totally worth all of human suffering, status and adoration from your shallow loved one for one of THE MOST common stones on this planet.
Que lindo diamante
Best videos on RUclips in regards to this, If the diamonds are certified by SKD are they still okay ?
Good question - my advice would be only buy GIA graded stones. GIA invented the modern diamond grading standard, they are not for profit and they grade in a strict and reliable way. Other labs in my experience often over-grade vs the GIA standard. Hence why you find they are used if price is very important, to give the impression to the consumer they are getting better value for money than they actually are. Better to seek out a GIA graded stone so you know what you are getting. After all, the price of GIA grading is only circa $50 (depending upon carat size) so it isn't expensive to use GIA.
***** Thanks for getting back too me, Would you say SKD are a reliable grading company? or it's best not to take a chance on buying diamonds they've certified ?
In my experience, a polishing company thinks very carefully where to get a stone graded. If it is a good stone, which will pass GIA standards, they use GIA. After all, why not use GIA, as it isn't expensive to get a stone graded there? If they have a stone which is perhaps say PK1 clarity on GIA rating, but if they send it to an unknown lab who say it is SI1. Hence now sounds like a much better stone, when it fact it is still PK1. Most dealers when trading stones between themselves insist on seeing the GIA report for the stone. That tells you pretty much all you need to know what the trade trust.
***** Thank you, You've been most helpful.
awesome information...very thank you
This was perfect, thanks!
When you could build one of the biggest house on earth but buys a stone that's harder than lego
Price wise, what would you recommend? I wanted 0.5 ct each for earing, i was looking at color D with Vs1... i wanted a shiny diamond. Is clarity important? Or color? I was in bluenile web My budget is $1,300

the location of the inclusion, and if its a white or dark inclusion, isnt graded by the two top labs. Only the size. So unless you buy higher grades where nothing visible to the naked eye can be present, you need to compare the gems. If its on vacation or over the counter or at a trade fair, these really small things with one big lens to get up close with one eye are great, a worthwhile 10 dollar investment. Online, if you want one, call in 3 and send two back, its the only way.
very informative

Woah you just saved me a bundle Ty
Batu berlian ditemukan di daerah pegunungan longsor di Sulawesi Selatan - Indonesia, jika Anda menghitung batu permata karat berat 415 dan 86,36 gram emas, mungkin ahli dunia di bebatuan banyak yang tidak percaya bahwa kejadian ini benar, batu kuarsa tergores oleh batu ini sudah melakukan tes dan berita ini tidak bohong (bukan sampah)

Diamonds are the biggest scam going
@WakinTheDeadFan If you want quality just go moissanite
good video, nice public service announcement
Sellers make most money out of SI diamonds. They promote SI over VS
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
Thanks for the feedback Quyen

If you buy a diamond make sure it has a GIA certificate.
Yes, I would agree. Because GIA are a 'not for profit' organisation and because they invented the modern day diamond grading standards terminology that we all use, I think GIA are the best grading lab. In my experience most dealers agree with this.
However, it is also worth noting that the GIA report doesn't contain everything that you need to know about the diamond. There are around 20 'off report' factors which affect the appearance of a diamond but which are not yet included on the GIA grading report. This also need to be taken into account to ensure the diamond looks as expected.
Igualmente a que eu achei hoje sempre tô achando coisas assim e tô postando tudo eu acho na rua tá lá no meu canal
Difficult to understand for non english people because of pronenciation style and fast briefing
Don't need them GIA cert. just runs up the price. Get a good 10x loupe on Amazon and look in the diamond yourself. Ask the question "Show me clear clean colorless stones. And dump all the other stuff you see and hear about.
This isn't correct I'm afraid. Firstly, the cost to get a diamond graded by the GIA for a typical sized stone is circa $50 and so is not expensive. Secondly, there are many factors which dramatically affect the value of a diamond which are not discernible with a loupe or by eye. Factors such as heat treatment or whether the stone is lab grown. These are all factors which are checked by GIA as standard and so help prevent the consumer from over-paying. The bottom line is whilst I agree one shouldn't rely solely on a GIA report, and a visual inspection is always very important, using the GIA report as the basis of your assessment is an important factor.
Formed over "billions of years" my butt. Diamonds do not take billions of years - says science. We can even specially create them in a lab nowadays. Also, The Rate Group tested diamonds and found that at most they could only be around 6,000 years old.
Don't buy Diamonds people suffer beyond belief to dig them up at gun point
+liveuk i don't buy diamonds cause they are expensive as shit.
Bob Smith At last! Someone who speaks the truth!!! I personally prefer Moissanite, as the diamonds I can afford are less than 6.5mm (equal to a one carat).
Not my problem!
Andrea Low y’all broke 😖
And let's be honest in most people's families and friends who can tell the difference between a diamond, mossanite and CZ without looking at the hallmark?! I personally want a gemstone engagement ring when it happens 🤞😀 each to their own though, I'd just rather spend the money building a life or making memories with my SO.
bilions of years? meanwhile lab grown diamonds are formed in a coule of months lol
acne problems
Grading is subjective and a waste of money, the buyer needs to educate themselves before buying one.
Grading is subjective, yes, but I would strongly disagree that grading from the best grading laboratories in the world (GIA, AGS) is a "waste of money". It offers a level of assessment that most consumers are not going to be able to achieve. That combined with a good level of understanding is invaluable.
Looking at diamonds give me a headache wtf
They want diamond that the size of your head for something that can fit in your pocket none of this shit mean nothing in the real world
Go for lab diamonds and save the earth!

Screw diamond I use moissanite it's a 9.5 on the scale and sparkles WAY more than dimond
But it's SOOOO cheap The idiots who are selling you diamonds are scamming you POOR
Actually, your comment about moissanite being more sparkly than diamond is not true. We did a side by side comparison with a Charles & Colvard moissanite vs a perfectly cut diamond to test the levels of fire, scintillation and brilliance. We had assumed that due to the refractive index of moissanite the levels of refraction might be high. In fact, under the same lighting conditions they weren't even close - the diamond performed significantly better in all of the visual optical tests we completed.
Well at least moissanite is a whole lot cheaper than dimond
Yes, I would absolutely agree with that. And it can be a very nice option for particular situations.
guy in video is creepy lol
Probably coz he's part of a gang of sneaky diamond hoarding and hiding ZIONIST jews
Oops.Lol.
Fucking bullshit. Cut and color are way more important than clarity.
