Clarity Comparators

Clarity Comparator Information

  • In the Clarity Comparators, the (+) subgrade represents the absolute boundary
  • Note: this does not apply to subgrades with physical GIA reference stones
  • Image target grades have been calibrated separately from the physical stone. In some cases, the targets may be different between the two sources for the same stone.
  • Reference section 10 of the Diamond Grading Procedures in Searchlight for Clarity Comparator procedures
Minor differences in appearances are expected between work stations/monitors. If images appear abnormal, contact a Supervisor or higher for additional support.
