What Is The Clarity Enhancement Process? During the clarity enhancement process we insert a microscopic amount of material into the part of the diamond that contains a feather. This material has the same optical properties as the diamond itself. When light travels from one medium to another, it either changes its course or reflects in a different direction. When light attempts to pass through a non-enhanced diamond that has a feather, the light hits the feather and reflects off in any number of directions. That is why we see the feather, and the diamond doesn't appear to be clean. With an enhanced diamond, the light passes through the natural feather because the material used for the enhancement has the same optical characteristics as the diamond. The beam of light "thinks" it's still traveling through the same material (diamond) and continues its original course.   Does Clarity Enhancement "Change" A Diamond In Any Way? No, it is still a natural diamond - it just looks better. The amount of material used to fill the feather is so microscopic that even the world's greatest diamond laboratory, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has reported that our clarity enhancement process adds ZERO WEIGHT to a diamond.   Do I need to take care of my Enhanced Diamond differently than other diamonds? Absolutely Not. The Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A), after extensive research, has determined that normal wear and tear cannot harm the enhancement. Only if the enhanced diamond is exposed to high heat or strong acids and bases, the enhancement may be reversed. Why go Enhanced? The revolutionary process optically eliminates "feathers", which are naturally occurring in most diamonds. The result is a more visually stunning diamond that you can purchase for significantly less then a similar-looking, non-enhanced diamond. Best of all, these Diamonds are totally natural and come from the same diamond mines as all other diamonds. The clarity enhancement process is not visible to the naked eye. Only your trained jeweler will ever know that you own a natural Clarity Enhanced Diamond. Ahava Diamonds can offer you visually stunning diamonds for the price of 20-40% less then similar looking non-enhanced diamonds. You can either save money or purchase a bigger, more beautiful diamond.
