There are numbers given to the calrity of a diamond, for example SI 1 VVS1. The alpha rating refers to degree of inclusions and the number to the calrity or color of the diamond. The number 1 is the best rating with bright color and refraction and 3 meaning the color and clarity is duller. Not the best diamond. The 3 rating can make the diamond look milky or cloudy. The I means that there are numerous inclusions in the diamond and can include obvious carbon spots that show up as black speckles. An I3 diamond is usually found in jewelry stores like KMart and Walmart. I would not recommend buying a diamond of this rating at ANY price.

The Diamond Quality Pyramid is a framework to help you compare diamonds. While all diamonds are precious, those closest to the top of the pyramid -- possessing the best combination of cut, clarity, carat weight and color -- are the earth's rarest, most valuable and most beautiful to the eye. CARAT The Larger a Diamond, the More Rare Larger diamonds are found relatively infrequently in nature, which places them at the rarest level of the Diamond Quality Pyramid. What also makes a bigger diamond so desirable is that it shows off a stone's fine color and cut, and therefore its brilliance, to its best advantage. A diamond's size is measured in carat weight, and each carat is equal to 100 points. A .75 carat diamond is the same as a 75-point diamond or a 3/4 carat stone. While larger diamonds are highly prized, diamonds of equal size may vary widely in value and brilliance, depending on their qualities of clarity, cut, and color. CLARITY The Purer a Diamond, the More Brilliant The greater a diamond's clarity, the more brilliant, valuable and rare it is -- and the higher it is on the Diamond Quality Pyramid. Virtually all natural diamonds contain identifying characteristics, yet many are invisible to the naked eye. Under the scrutiny of a jeweler's 10x-magnifying loupe or microscope, natural phenomena -- called inclusions -- may be seen. These are nature's birthmarks, and they may look like tiny crystals, clouds, or feathers. Diamonds categorized as internally flawless reveal no such inclusions. Flawless stones are at the peak of the Diamond Quality Pyramid and are treasured for their rarity and beauty. Diamonds with very, very small inclusions are graded as VVS1 or VVS2. The larger the inclusion, the lower the grade and the less rare the diamond. Inclusions that can be seen with the naked eye are graded I1 or I3. The number, color, type, size and position of surface and internal birthmarks affect a diamond's value. Major inclusions can interfere with the path of light that travels

I3 is a reference to the clarity of the diamond - an I3, which BTW technically does not exist according to GIA grading standards, means that there will be several easily visible inclusions in the diamond. It will mostl ikel y be very cloudy or milky, or have multiple black carbon spots in the stone, right where you can see them. Fancy Brown is referring to the color. this stone will be a distinct chocolatey color.... it may tend more to the yellow side, and not be clear at all.
I would not recommend buying this stone, no matter what the price.
