Internally Flawless Diamonds

Internally Flawless (IF) clarity means the diamond has no internal inclusions visible under 10x magnification. It may have only the most minor surface blemishes, such as a faint polish line, that do not affect beauty or durability. IF natural diamonds offer near-identical visual perfection to Flawless diamonds at a slightly lower price, making them an excellent choice for buyers seeking top-tier clarity.

IF diamonds have no internal inclusions under 10x, while VVS1 diamonds have very slight inclusions extremely difficult for a trained gemologist to find. The visual difference between IF and VVS1 is not detectable with the naked eye. VVS1 offers a noticeable price savings over IF while delivering an appearance that is functionally identical in any ring setting.

IF natural diamonds are an excellent choice for step-cut shapes like emerald and asscher cuts. These shapes have large, open facets that act as windows into the diamond, making clarity more visible. While VVS2 to VS1 is the typical recommendation for eye-clean step cuts, IF ensures absolute flawlessness that is especially impressive in the transparent, mirror-like facets of step-cut diamonds.

IF stones are visually identical to Flawless at a slightly lower price, and Do Amore's certification documents the difference so you can make an informed choice. All rings include free lifetime maintenance covering inspections, polishing, cleaning, stone tightening, rhodium plating, and resizing.
