Diamond Clarity is something that will definitely affect the beauty of the diamond in the three least rare grades. However, in the SI1/2 Category, inclusions can become visible starting around .85/.90 and up, though their degree of  visibility is dependent on type of inclusion and actual size of the diamond. How obvious you see it may depend on your eye -physical ability or how much you care -personal choice.  Enjoy this latest podcast on the 4 “C”s in relation to the BPS scale.
