How To Buy A Diamond Ring
The 4 Cs: #3 CLARITY
Diamonds were naturally formed up to 3.3 billion years ago below the earth’s surface, as a result of unimaginable heat and pressure placed on carbon crystals. When the diamonds are naturally formed, other minerals or crystals might be present, causing tiny “inclusions” to remain inside the diamond. These natural inclusions serve as the “fingerprint” of a diamond and make each one unique.
Clarity refers to the number, location, size and type of “inclusions” within a diamond. These are nature’s birthmarks and are sometimes referred to as “flaws”. Truly flawless diamonds are extremely rare and many times more valuable than those with small clarity characteristics.
Clarity gradings range from “Flawless” (FL) or “Internally Flawless” (IF) to “Imperfect” (I or P). Here are the clarity grading ranges:
It is possible to find clarity characteristics in almost every diamond. However, large inclusions interfere with the passage of light through a diamond, diminishing its sparkle. The fewer or smaller the clarity characteristics, the more beautiful, rare and valuable the diamond.

We’re going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you’re entirely independent from that site. But then we are pretty dumb.
I’m getting married this summer so in the middle of planning the wedding and the stag doo and finding this site really useful! I’ve not come across a wedding site designed for guys before.
