Does A Diamonds Cut Quality Have Any Relation to its Clarity?

Is a question we get asked all the time.


The answer is an emphatic yes. The better the Cut Quality of the diamond, the less likely it is that you will be able to see any inclusions in the face-up position from the normal viewing distance of 8-14 inches.


This is so because improving the Cut Quality of a diamond increases the amount and intensity of refracted light coming to your eye up through the top of the diamond. This light performance will "mask" your eyes ability to pick up and see any inclusions within the diamond.


Consumers can therefore max their budgets and get excellent value by seriously considering lower clarity grades such as SI-1 through I-2.


Below are two examples of GIA lab graded I-1 clarity grades that face up super eye clean and display superb light performance.
