hi Reece
The passage below will tell you all you need for the differences of quality and clarity.
Premium Quality - Colour H/I and Clarity I1-2
Colour H-I: A white diamond with no easily noticeable colour tint to the naked eye. Only once compared to higher colour qualities can you notice a difference.
Clarity I1-2: The "I" stands for "inclusions". Any imperfections in the diamond can only be noticed if you look very closely at the stone (within 6 inches). With smaller diamonds, imperfections become even harder to notice.
Conclusion: H-I/I1/2 quality represents great value and is a higher quality than you will find on most high streets!.
H/Si Quality - Colour H and Clarity Si
Colour H: A white diamond with no easily noticeable colour tint to the naked eye. Only compared to much higher colour qualities are differences noticeable.
Clarity Si: An abbreviation for "small inclusions". Certainly on diamonds under 0.50 carat, imperfections in the diamond are not noticeable to the unaided eye. Only once under a jeweller's high powered magnifying glass, can inclusions be detected.
Conclusion: H/Si quality is our usual recommendation. White diamonds with no visible inclusions, you can't go wrong!
G/Vs Quality - Colour G and Clarity Vs
Colour G: A bright white diamond. Expert knowledge needed to identify any colour tint ie. essentially colourless.
Clarity Vs: An abbreviation for "very small". Referring to the inclusions, any imperfection can only be seen with expert knowledge and with the use of a high powered jeweller's loupe (magnifying glass).
Conclusion: G/Vs quality is the connoisseurs choice. If you like to appreciate the finer things in life, this is the choice for you.
