Clarification on clarity of lab growns (Score 0)

The sentiment of the replies indicates that lab grown diamonds are without flaw, but a quick look at the inventory of ADIA (the diamond seller in the article) reveals that the clarity of their diamonds ranges from VS1 to SI3. The measure of flawlessness in a diamond is represented by a scale that ranges from FL (flawless) and IF (internally flawless) on the pricy end to I (imperfect) with varying degrees of inclusions in between. A SI3 level diamond, which happens to be the level of clarity offered in ABIA's lone white diamond, is hardly flawless. Indeed a SI3 diamond contains flaws that are visible to the naked eye, and in the mined diamond market would be offered for sale at a tremendous discount to less included diamonds. While ABIA offers diamonds up to the VS1 (Very slightly included)level, this is hardly flawless, instead it is a level of clarity that is common at any diamond store. Yes lab grown diamonds are arguably a great alternative to mined diamonds, but they are not necessarily less included than mined diamonds.
