With shape, weight, and cut all being equal you can compare like diamonds in terms of color and clarity. Diamonds of the same clarity can differ quite a bit. Let’s take a SI1 clarity diamond for example. When looking at the diamond’s plot or at the diamond directly through at 10x loupe the clarity characteristics can be quite different and you’ll want to choose the one that is most appealing to you. Unless flawless, all diamonds will have clarity characteristics and only you can decide what you’ll be happy looking at each day. When comparing like diamonds I suggest looking at no more than 3 at one time. Keep narrowing it down always keeping your top choice each time.
