The fewer the inclusions, the rarer and more valuable your diamond will be.  To determine a diamond's clarity grading, it must be examined under a 10X magnification by an educated eye.  The small inclusions make every diamond unique and are nature's fingerprints.  Generally, they do not mar the beauty or endanger the durability of the diamond.  In most cases, if a diamond is SI2 or above, the inclusions are not easily visible to the unaided eye. Without magnification, you may never see these inclusions.
