Clarity
A diamond is "loupe clean or internally flawless" if, after examination by an experienced grader with a loupe 10 x under normal light conditions, it has been found free of internal characteristics. The other clarity grades are determined by the size, position, brightness and number of internal characteristics. External characteristics and structure phenomena can be mentioned under "identification marks" or "comments". The lowest clarity grades on the scale (indicated by p for piqué) refer to inclusions that can be seen by an experienced grader with the naked eye.
