On some lots with a GIE CERTIFICATION it is quoted that a diamond has received clarity enhancement, the following clarifies the procedure.

  

What Is The Clarity Enhancement Process?

It is a proprietary process that takes a diamond with a visible imperfection and makes the imperfection invisible or much less visible to the naked eye. The imperfection remains in the diamond but it can no longer be seen. A more technical explanation would be the following:

During the clarity enhancement process a microscopic amount of material into the part of the diamond that contains a feather. This material has the same optical properties as the diamond itself. When light travels from one medium to another, it either changes its course or reflects in a different direction. When light attempts to pass through a non-enhanced diamond that has a feather, the light hits the feather and reflects off in any number of directions. That is why we see the feather, and the diamond doesn’t appear to be clean. With a Clarity Enhanced diamond, the light passes through the natural feather because the material used for the enhancement has the same optical characteristics as the diamond. The beam of light "thinks" it’s still traveling through the same material (diamond) and continues its original course.

Does Clarity Enhancement "Change" A Diamond In Any Way?

No. The Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A), after extensive research, has determined that normal wear and tear cannot harm the enhancement. Only if the diamond is exposed to high heat or strong acids and bases, the enhancement may be reversed.  

 

Upon signing up for the auction you agree to these terms.
