Clarity enhanced diamonds are real, mined diamonds that have had their clarity/quality improved by cleaning and cloaking any visible imperfections in the diamond. Clarity enhanced diamonds are lower in price than 100% natural diamonds and therefore for every given carat weight and quality, the price will be lower. Clarity enhanced diamonds are graded after the enhancement and therefore if the diamond was originally F/SI1 and is now F/VS2, it will be priced lower as if it were still F/SI1, however will look like F/VS2.
