Thanks to nature, every diamond is unique. Each one possesses its own individuality. This could be due to minute traces of other minerals trapped during the crystalization process. These natural characteristics, called 'inclusions' | are better described as nature's fingerprints and help gemologists determine the age of a diamond. The fewer the inclusions, the rarer it will be graded, and the more light it will reflect, making it more valuable. Since it is very rare to find a diamond that has no inclusions, the closer to flawless it is the greater the value. |
