How Clear Should Your Diamond Be for Optimal Value?
When admiring Valquère's statement jewelry, the spectacular sparkle of our Antwerp-crafted diamonds immediately catches the eye. But how clear does a diamond need to be, and how does clarity affect pricing?
Diamond clarity involves identifying tiny inclusions—natural "birthmarks" within the stone that rarely diminish its brilliance. While flawless (IF) diamonds command premium prices due to their rarity, VS2 (Very Small Inclusions) or SI1 (Small Inclusions) diamonds offer exceptional value as their inclusions are nearly invisible to the naked eye.
Beyond clarity, cut quality significantly impacts a diamond's sparkle and price. For verified quality at the best value, trust Valquère's lab-grown diamonds, which are 30-50% more affordable thanks to our direct-to-consumer approach.

Deciphering Diamond Clarity - How Clear Is Clear Enough?
Determining the clarity grade of a diamond is a nuanced endeavor that primarily revolves around identifying minute inclusions, akin to birthmarks in the stone. However, these minuscule inclusions do not detract from the diamond's brilliance. To secure a crystal-clear understanding of the diamond clarity and ensure a fair price, always check the certificate accompanying your diamond.
Consider this certificate as a token of authenticity and assurance of the quality of your Valquère diamond. It might be populated with abbreviations, don't worry - we are here to elucidate them for you.

Decoding The Diamond Certificate
A flawless diamond is denoted by the abbreviation IF, implying 'Internally Flawless'. Diamonds of this caliber are incredibly rare and this rarity is reflected in the price. For exceptional value, opt for diamonds labelled with the clarity VS2 (Very Small Inclusions) or SI1 (Small Inclusions). These inclusions are almost invisible to the naked eye but significantly impact the diamond price.
The quality of the cut significantly influences the price, with the final look and sparkle of the diamond determined during this cutting process. The quality of the cut ranges from ‘poor’ to ‘excellent’.

Who Sets The Diamond Standard?
Diamond pricing isn't solely dictated by clarity. Your diamond's certificate provides critical information about the diamond's 4Cs. These aspects are thoroughly checked in accredited laboratories, such as GIA, prior to placing the diamond for sale. If you want the epitome of quality combined with the best price for your diamond, always look for knowledgeable guidance.
