Clarity – part four of the four C’s

The opacity of the paper is essential to the final results of a print-job. The super-smooth high opacity surface of MultiArt makes for great reproduction of high-definition photos. In the diamond business, opacity is equally important, but with the inverse relation. The
clarity of a diamond refers to how clearly it’s able to allow light to pass through it, reflect it and refract within it. The most flawless diamonds are given a grade of, that’s right, Flawless (FL) and are of course the most valuable. Without the aide of magnification the human eye cannot detect flaws of any grade diamond of SI2 and above. Consequently, a perfectly cut diamond, graded SI2 for clarity will look the same as an equally cut diamond graded VS1. Though the former will save you a lot of money.
The world’s most renowned diamond cutter is Antwerpen-based Gabi Tolkowsky. In 1988 he took on a massive 599 carat rough diamond and over the period of three years cut it into the masterpiece known as The Centenary Diamond. The Centenary is the world’s largest FL, Flawless diamond weighing in (after Gabi’s cutting) at 273,85 carats.
