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).

Many different companies will offer an Ideal cut diamond cut grading, and these diamonds are almost always (as is the situation here) perfect in terms of proportions and the overall shape. This diamond has a girdle described as "Thin to medium", which plays a impact on the shine and apparently width of a diamond, as explained in my diamond girdle page. Most consumers won't notice the color in this G color diamond, unless the stone is held up against a higher color grade diamond (for multistone rings this is important).
