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).

This diamond has a blank in the girdle properties description - you can ask a sales representative to find out what the situation is.
If you are looking at this diamond and considering whether to improve other characteristics of the diamond not related to size, you may wish to reduce the 1.54 carat size for this diamond to achieve that end. This G color diamond is a whiter stone than the bottom normal color gradings of J and below, which means it's a great compromise between money considerations and quality, allowing one to have more in the other Cs of diamonds such as carat size.
