Clarity

With colored diamonds, just as with white diamonds, the higher the clarity of the stone, the higher its price. One important point is that color can heighten the visibility of certain inclusions, and thereby affect prices. For example, a feather in a blue enhanced diamond becomes more easily visible against a background color. What this can mean is that a small feather that merits an I1 grading in a white diamond will result in a lower grading, such as I2, in a colored diamond.
