Diamonds clarity when purchasing a colorless diamond the clarity grade is a critical factor that has a direct impact on the value of the stone.
Vvs clarity diamond simulants.
Diamonds come in different clarity grades from flawless to included.
Clarity determines how clean a diamond is.
Vvs means the diamond has tiny imperfections in the diamond that are very difficult to identify even with 10x magnification and they re almost impossible to see without magnification.
People typically consider buying diamond simulants because diamond simulants are more affordable than diamonds of similar size color and clarity.
Nearly all diamonds lab grown and mined alike have inclusions.
These are completely unalike at an atomic level.
That depends on how open you are to the unique characteristics of each simulant.
Typical inclusions that might set the vvs grade include.
No imperfections can be identified by the naked eye.
In summary the only material difference is price.
While this difference does not hold for all fakes it is one of the characteristics that help to distinguish cubic zirconia and other simulants from diamond.
Common diamond simulants include cubic zirconia cz a diamond alternative made from a crystalized form of zirconium oxide and moissanite a durable and affordable alternative to cz made from crystal carbide.
Vvs diamonds sit under flawless and internally flawless diamonds on the clarity scale.
But are they worth it.
Diamond simulants that are created artificially usually don t have internal flaws.
As indicated in the above clarity grade chart a vvs diamond contains minute inclusions that range from extremely difficult vvs 1 to very difficult vvs 2 to see at 10 magnification.
