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).

To the naked eye, this F color diamond standing alone appears completely white and pure - there isn't a way to detect any color in the diamond utilizing just the human eye and no other nearby diamonds, or to differentiate it from others within the colorless range. The SI clarity group of diamonds (which this SI1 clarity diamond is part of) is the happy hunting ground for diamond bargain hunters. Try and find a diamond that appears "clean" to the naked eye, either by examining the diamond in the flesh, or by checking out an online enlarged photo showing the stone. This diamond's girdle is "Thin to slightly thick", which plays a impact on the size and sparkle of a diamond, as written about in my diamond girdle article. For any diamond, a cost of $1740 really places it in the cheapest set of diamonds, even more so for engagement rings. This diamond's Ideal cut rating means it has excellent proportions and very good or better polish and symmetry ratings.
