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).

F color diamonds are usually described as the colorless diamonds, being some of the purest white diamonds available for sale. The visual appearance of this diamond will be good due to its Premium cut, although not quite as good as the more costly higher cut grades. For a price of $2350, this diamond sits smack-bang in the normal range of stones used for diamond engagement ring settings. For more information on the "Slightly thick to thick" girdle for this diamond, have a read of the article about girdles. SI is short for for Slightly Included, which means this SI1 stone contains inclusions that are definitely visible at 10 x magnification and may often be visible to the naked eye, but which provide the opportunity for significant price discounts if they are not.
