Clarity enhanced diamonds are primarily a very good advance in the industry as it takes natural diamonds that have visible imperfections, which is not something that most people want in their diamond, an makes the diamond clearer and more sparkly. Consumers can enjoy real natural diamonds that look visibly flawless at a lower price without affecting the true value of the diamond. Most good jewelry manufacturers that offer clarity enhanced diamonds will offer a lifetime guarantee on the enhancement.
There are two types of clarity enhanced diamonds. The good treatment is a silicone based filling that can last a lifetime. The second, bad, type is a bromide based treatment that can fade and discolor over time. The trouble is being able to differentiate the good treatment from the bad.
