Round Ruby Claw Set Pendant 0.50ct. In 9k Yellow Gold

Colour: G, Clarity: Si

Offered in the majority of our 18k jewellery, these diamonds are G colour, with a clarity of Si (slight inclusions), this means the diamond has slight inclusions visible to a trained eye under 10x magnification and unlikely to have inclusions visible to the naked eye. G colour is a high colour grade classed as near colourless, colour tint is generally not noticeable to the naked eye. Diamond clarity grades may also be further categorised into 1 or 2 (this will be stated on the item description), SI1 is a slightly higher clarity grade than SI2 which are slightly more included with a higher chance of noticing some inclusions when looking very closely, these diamonds are still bright and sparkling and offer exceptional value. 

Colour: H, Clarity: I1 and I2

H colour is in the near colourless range just slightly lower than G, there might be a slight colour tint when comparing to higher colour grades but difficult to notice in normal lighting. I1 refers to the clarity, this is the high/clearer end of 'included', this means the diamond has inclusions visible under 10x magnification and may have some inclusions noticeable to the naked eye when looking very closely (more likely to notice with larger diamonds) This grade offers very good value and is generally provided with 9k gold items with smaller stones which make it harder to notice inclusions. Some pieces feature I2 clarity diamonds, this is the lower end of included meaning inclusions are noticeable to the naked eye and may have a more cloudy appearance when comparing to higher grades, this is less noticeable on small diamonds. Some items with lots of small diamonds may have a mix of I1 and I2. 

Colour: G, Clarity: Vs

Select items are supplied with high grade diamonds of G colour VS clarity, these are always used in 18k or platinum pieces and command higher prices. Inclusions are very slight and difficult to find even under magnification.
