Yehuda Diamonds Blog

Hello,

Welcome to the Yehuda Diamonds blog. We are the inventors of the diamond clarity enhancement process and have setup this blog to discuss the realities and myths of treatment of diamonds.

In 1982, Zvi Yehuda, an extremely famous Israeli scientist discovered a way to enhance the clarity of diamonds. The revolutionary process optically eliminates "feathers", which are naturally occurring in most diamonds. The result is a more visually stunning diamond that you can purchase for significantly less then a similar-looking, non-enhanced diamond. Best of all, Yehuda Diamonds are totally natural and come from the same diamond mines as all other diamonds. The clarity enhancement process is not visible to the naked eye. Only your trained jeweler will ever know that you own a natural Yehuda Clarity Enhanced Diamond.

Technically, the clarity enhancement process works like this:

During the Yehuda clarity enhancement process we insert a microscopic amount of material into the feather. This material has the same optical properties as the diamond. When light travels from one medium to another, it either changes its course or reflects in a different direction. When light attempts to pass through a non-enhanced diamond that has a feather, the light hits the feather and reflects off in any number of directions. That is why we see the feather, and the diamond doesn't appear to be clean. With a Yehuda diamond, the light passes through the natural feather because the material used for the enhancement has the same optical characteristics as the diamond. The beam of light "thinks" it's still traveling through the same material (diamond) and continues its original course.

The amount of material used to fill the feather is so microscopic that even the world's greatest diamond laboratory, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has reported that Mr. Yehuda's clarity enhancement process adds ZERO WEIGHT to a diamond.
