I1 clarity diamonds look like crud when they lack in precision cut.
Why?
Very simple. It's because the diamond exhibits absolutely zero brilliancy and sparkle and looks DEAD. Therefore, if there are many blemishes within the diamond, they become glaringly obvious to the naked eye.
Then, it's almost like you are adding insult to injury.
Not only do you have a diamond that looks like the "black hole of Calcutta"
It also has visible "dirt" all over the inside of it..
Not exactly an award winning combination.
These are the kinds of "diamonds" you might find on e-bay, or at a typical Mall (a.k.a. Maul..) store.
It is for this reason that I1 diamonds have developed a "bad rap" and a stigma associated with buying them.
However, consider this; when a diamond is cut for nothing short of maximum beauty and brilliancy, the resultant sparkle does more than just make the diamond shine, it also masks imperfections within the stone.
This is a fact and is essentially part of the magic of a diamonds all important "Cut".
