A diamond's sparkle is dictated by brilliance. The brightness and contrast are the most important characteristics when assessing the sparkle of a diamond. Diamonds that are too deep are more likely to return less light and have less brightness. The same can be said for diamonds that are too shallow.

Clarity is classed according to the amount of imperfections present in a diamond. Colour tends to be a more important consideration as it directly affects the appearance of a diamond. The less colour a diamond emits, the more its value."}} ]}" />
