Diamond Education
Cushion
The cushion diamond is a classic and charming piece that particularly reminds people of the early 1900s. Its shape is somewhat similar to that of the round diamond but resembles a square with rounded corners instead.
Diamond Clarity
Diamond clarity is the assessment of small imperfections on the surface and within the stone. Surface flaws are called blemishes, while internal defects are known as inclusions. In most cases, a diamond’s beauty is not affected by these since most inclusions can’t be seen with the naked eye. When referring to inclusions, gemologists often use the term “internal characteristics” instead of flaws.
