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 Hearts & Arrows cut diamond has several noticeable patterns when viewed from different angles. From the top, the diamond has an arrow-like pattern (this is the cause of the "arrow" description). Viewing from side, the diamond has a pattern of 8 heart shapes (hence the name "hearts"). If you're buying blind online, then VS2 clarity is basically the minimumclarity rating you should consider without carrying a significant risk of getting a diamond with visible inclusions. $2810 will generally get you a decent quality and size stone, including this particular one. Take note of this diamond's girdle description - "Thin to medium" - and if you don't know about girdle thickness, go have a read of my girdle thickness article.
