The scale of clarity first established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) ranges from flawless to imperfect. A flawless diamond has no flaws or inclusions. An internally flawless diamond has no inclusions and only insignificant flaws. VVS1 or VVS2 (very, very, slightly enclosed) have tiny inclusions that are difficult to see. VS1 or VS2 (very minor included) have minor inclusions ranging from difficult to slightly easy to spot. SI1 or SI2 (slightly included) has visible inclusions that are easy to spot. I1, I2, I3 (imperfect) have obvious inclusions that are usually visible from above. At BAY AREA GOLD BUYER, we have experienced staff of diamond buyers. You don't need to call ahead to see if the diamond buyer is there because someone is always available to appraise your diamonds. Diamond Color The color of a diamond is an essential component in determining the value of the diamond. GIA uses a D to M scale, from white to yellow, to determine the color. Many diamonds fall in the J to K color line. |
