Ways Of Enhancing Diamonds
There are two main methods of enhancing diamonds and they both work hand in hand in the creation of clarity enhanced diamonds:- Laser drilling: Application of heat is used in this procedure to get rid of any discoloration and imperfections on the diamond. Marks that are bleach black are easily turned into a dazzling white diamond. The diamonds are first drilled by use of laser heat, then the fractures are filled, bringing us to the second method.
- Fracture filling: This is also known as repairing cracks. This procedure hides the fractures of the diamonds by filling the spaces and fractures with resin, a crystal-like substance, into the channels and making them invisible.
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Clarity Enhanced Diamonds
Advantages Of Clarity Enhanced Diamonds
Like any other product in the market, clarity enhanced diamonds have a positive or negative effect on the end user.- The greatest advantage of clarity enhanced diamonds is their low price margin in comparison to the natural diamond. The improved appearance and clarity is so appealing to the eye, just like an eye clean diamond.
- The guarantee of a low quality diamond is enhanced and it looks just like a natural diamond.
- Value for your money. You get the same size and appearance for a much lower price.
Disadvantages Of Clarity Enhanced Diamonds
- The enhancement procedure tampers and weakens the natural structure of the diamond, meaning in little time it wears off and is damaged.
- The original sparkle and dazzle of the diamond gets lost in the process too, resulting in unnatural colors on the diamond.
- Reselling a clarity enhanced diamond is very hard, due to the fact that its value has gone down and in most cases it is already worn out.
