What affects the quality of the diamond

Diamonds with a lower degree of cleanliness are diamonds that have defects or inclusions that can be detected using a special magnifying glass (loupe) at X10 magnification and even with the naked eye. Depending on the amount of inclusions and their location in the diamond, the diamond’s rating and price are determined in the end. For example, if the inclusion or defect appears on the “diamond table” (the flat and upper part of the diamond) this may impair the light reflection and sparkle, the defect is visible and therefore its rating is lower compared to a diamond whose inclusion is on the “diamond belt” or the “rondist” – less Visible and does not significantly affect the reflection of light rays.
