Diamond Jewellery - Treatments to Enhance the Quality of Diamonds

Clarity is not always natural and it can be produced artificially by some alterations made with the help of mechanical treatments. And there are many jewelers who are selling these clarity enhanced diamonds and people buy them at the cost of original diamonds.
Perfect natural diamonds, which have clearness and clarity, are extraordinary. Many flaws that exist inside the diamond pieces can only be seen while viewing them with magnifying glass or microscope. They don't create any problem for both seller and buyer because of naturalness. Flaws are imperfections that remain inside the natural diamond during their formation. And blemishes are the scratches on the outer surface.
There are several treatments made to enhance the clarity of diamond. One is said laser drilling. In this method a very small laser beam is used to remove inclusions from the diamond. This method leaves lines like tracks on diamond and can be seen by magnification from the side view.Fracture filling may also left some signs that can only seen with the help of 10X jeweler's loupe or microscope. With magnification flashes of colors can be seen at the same place where the cracks were. Filling fracture also left bubbles on those places. If you are going to buy diamond jewellery for continue wearing than fracture filled should not be the best option.
