In this absolutely colorless diamond, white light penetrates the stone and exits in the rainbow colors, making a diamond sparkle especially beautifully when light hits it from above. They are the most expensive of all white diamonds and therefore from about 0.50 carat in the highest purity = flawless also suitable as an investment stone.
The color River (new designation: D or E) denotes diamonds of the best color grade = high fine white (+) or colorless.
River diamonds up to the size of 0.07 carat are also very popular as dental jewelry.
What do the clarities mean?
This is based on the view through a 10x magnifying glass:
At 10x magnification, no inclusions are visible, the stone is flawless (LC) or IF (internally flawless).
If inclusions are only (very) difficult to see, the purity is called VVS = very very small inclusions or VS = very small inclusions.
If inclusions are somewhat visible at 10x magnification, they are referred to as SI = small inclusions.
Recognizable inclusions start with the designation P1 and end with P3.
Our tiny diamonds of the size 0.005 carat in the colors River and Top Wesselton are exclusively available in the clarities if = flawless and vs = very small inclusions.
