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).

Several companies will offer an Ideal cut rating of diamond, and these diamonds are almost always (as is the case here) perfect in terms of proportions and the overall shape. The SI clarity range (which this SI1 clarity diamond is part of) is the happy hunting ground for diamond bargain hunters. Look for a diamond that appears "clean" to the naked eye, either by examining the diamond in person, or by checking out an online enlarged photo of the diamond. Weighing up the $6280 price of this diamond, put in some thought into whether any of the property qualities are excessive for your needs. A H color diamond such as this one is a great compromise between white pureness and budgetary considerations. If you have got some money but do not wish to splurge unnecessarily, this is a great color range to look in.

This diamond has a girdle described as "Medium to slightly thick, faceted", which plays a role in the shine and apparently width of a diamond, as explained in my diamond girdle page.
