Diamond Clarity
Clarity is the
presence or absence of tiny internal or external characteristics or markings. These markings — including feathers, clouds, cavities and the presence of crystals
within a diamond — make every diamond unique and are often invisible to the naked eye.
We individually grade each diamond for clarity using a 10x diamond microscope.
If 10x magnification doesn’t reveal internal markings, then the diamond earns the very rare flawless grade and is more valuable.

If magnification reveals any internal markings, we assign the diamond a grade along with a scale of 0-10. We also grade diamonds by the naked eye. If an internal
marking is visible to the unaided eye, it’s possible for the clarity grade to drop down even lower on the clarity scale.
The presence of an internal marking doesn’t mean that a diamond isn’t a quality diamond... since most diamonds have some internal markings. At Husar’s House of
Fine Diamonds, you can be sure we’ll present you with all the facts so you can make an informed decision when purchasing your diamond.
