Quick and Easy Buying Guide
Carat weight: 1 carat = 200 milligrams = 6.5 mm diameter. Doubling weight doesn't double diameter.
Diamond clarity: FL/IF/VVS/VS = super expensive, near perfect. SI = best value if you can check a photo for obvious inclusions (defects).
Color: D-G = colorless, expensive, only if you have money to burn. H-J = best value. Can go lower in gold metal settings than white metal.
Cut: Better cut ratings let more light into a diamond, making it sparkle more. Very important property, don't skimp here.
Set a budget and minimum cut (Premium). Go J color for gold and I/H for white metals. Go searching for SI1/SI2 clarity diamonds at James Allen. Pick a diamond with small/no inclusions. Choose a ring setting and buy it risk-free (60-day returns).

A diamond that is sized at 1.36 carats is usually roughly 7.24 mm in the width dimension. How much of a change do you think you can detect with the naked eye by going from a 2.00 carat stone to a 1.98 carat stone? I can't, which is why i would recommend checking out the slightly smaller stones due to them often being priced a lot lower than the others, for no really good reason.
If you've been searching for a diamond of a particular size, such as this 1.36 diamond, consider adding other terms to your search enquiry in google or another search engine, for example "g color".
I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond. Mae West .
If you're in a diamond store and you see a diamond with its carat weight marked and it looks wrong, don't hesitate to ask, and walk away if they won't give you a straight answer. Don't forget to think about other diamond characteristics such as diamond cut, which plays a critical role in determining the amount of light that gets into the diamond and the degree to which the diamond sparkles in light.
