  • What are Clarity Enhanced Diamonds?

    A clarity enhanced diamond is a natural mined diamond. It is not an imitation diamond like a moissanite or a lab created diamond. Diamonds that have visible inclusions & blemishes are often used for clarity enhancement. By enhancing & improving these imperfect diamonds with a carefully crafted method, you are able to lessen the visibility of inclusions and blemishes, creating the appearance of a significantly higher quality and higher priced diamond.



    There are mainly two methods used to enhance a diamonds clarity. The common method is laser drilling. A tiny laser beam is used to tunnel into the diamond and remove inclusions. This method helps eliminate discolouration and specs in a diamond.



    Another method to remove flaws is called fracture filling. This procedure involves injecting a tiny amount of a glass like substance into the diamond feathers, which makes these natural imperfections invisible. The amount of this material is so small that it does not change the diamonds carat weight at all.
