No two diamonds are alike. A diamonds most distinguishing characteristics are its inclusions, marks that are often invisible to the naked eye. However, under a jewelers magnifying loupe or microscope they can look like crystals, tiny rivers, or clouds. A diamonds clarity is determined by the presence or absence of inclusions--fewer inclusions mean better clarity--and how visible they are. The greater a diamonds clarity, the greater its brilliance and value. A diamond categorized as internally flawless will have no inclusions, but this is extremely rare.
