So it is only when a diamond can boast an extremely rare combination of the perfect colour as well as the perfect clarity that it is considered flawless. Flawless?īasically, flawless diamonds are stones at the highest end of the scale in terms of colour and clarity. One can only imagine the stir among the industry professionals caused by the Millennium Star, a 273.15 carat world's second largest flawless diamond when it first went on display for general public back in 1999. But to discover a diamond with an ideal colour and no imperfections whatsoever is an opportunity that comes but almost once in a lifetime. It's not an uncommon occurrence to find a perfectly white diamond, which has a few imperfections. The following is to give you an idea of how precious flawless diamonds are. They are very rare and mesmerisingly beautiful. That way, when you tell someone that you have “ a Flawless Diamond“, it can truly be Flawless (or Perfect) in every regard.In the Four Cs section we've already touched upon the notion of “flawless diamonds”, but it feels that it wasn't stressed enough for you.įlawless diamonds are indeed a true miracle of nature. If you want to buy the best there is (remember money is no concern), then do so ( D Color, Excellent Cut). I tell them they have to also look at Color and Cut, but I asure you, it can get confusing for them. I know I’m asking too much, but many consumers are under the impression that a Flawless Diamond is Perfect. Perfection in every aspect, not just Clarity. Sure that can be the case, Flawless Diamonds can come in ANY Color AND any Cut… But it doesn’t sound “ Flawless” to me.įlawless sounds like Perfection to me. Think about it… Why buy a Flawless Clarity and have a low Color or a bad Cut? Sounds like a contradiction doesn’t it? Calling a Diamond “ Flawless“, but having a Strong Yellow Hue (M Color) or a Wide, Narrow Cut (Spread Stone) doesn’t really work for me. If you’re purchasing the top of the line Clarity, why would you sacrifice Cut or Color? You may as well get the best in ALL fields! That’s why I selected Diamonds with D Color and Ideal Cuts for this comparison. As you can see, it’s just a small difference in price… a small car! :)īut then again, if you’re looking to buy the best there is, then money is probably not an issue. With Flawless being so rare, you will find that it’s almost impossible to locate.įlawless Diamonds almost never hit the Jewelry Stores and is mainly sold to collectors who don’t care about price… Because that price will be extreme!Ĭompare a One Carat Flawless Diamond with D Color (the best there is), against an SI1 Clarity Diamond (D Color as well) to see how they rate: CARAT WEIGHT, CLARITY, COLOR, CUT, CERTIFIEDīoth of these Diamonds listed above are GIA Certified and both have Ideal Cuts. Flawless and Internally Flawless (IF) count for only 2% of all the Diamonds mined in the World today… That’s Rare! The Flawless Category is such a small Clarity Grade as compared to all the other rest of the Clarity Ranges. It’s difficult to spot any of those small Pinpoints, Dots, Feathers and Identifying Marks in a VVS Diamond, let alone a Flawless stone, even after years of experience. To most people, anything in a VVS2 Clarity Diamond or higher will look Flawless. Any imperfections seen in a Diamond graded with a higher magnification (like 20x or 30x) doesn’t count towards the Flawless Clarity Rating as long as it’s not seen with a 10x Powered Lens. And also keep in mind this is with 10x magnification. Keep in mind, these Flaws are so small they can’t affect the overall quality of the stone in the least. It takes a Professional Diamontologist or Gemologist to see the tiny characteristics, almost invisible traits like: Naturals, Internal Graining, Extra Facets, Polish Marks… and even then, they will have to scrutinize the stone very well. To an untrained eye, with a 10x (ten powered) Microscope, a Flawless Diamond will look clean and truly Flawless.
