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).

Put this 1.13 carat size in perspective when you consider your buying options - there are going to be other diamonds of about the same size which could provide more with regards to their cost and characteristics.
While not quite as perfect a cut as Hearts & Arrows, the Ideal cut of this diamond means it is significantly cheaper, because you're not forking out money for a "perfectly" cut diamond. For $6260, you should be getting a nice stone, so make sure you're harsh in your judgement when you're looking at this diamond.
This H color diamond is less colored than the bottom normal color ratings of J and below; it's a great compromise between money considerations and quality, enabling one to have more in the other Cs of diamonds for example cut rating. If you can see the diamond in person or examine zoomed in photos of the diamond (like the photo for this SI1 clarity diamond), this is where the most valuable deals are to be found - finding an SI1 or SI2 stone that is "eye clean" is a fulfilling experience that translates to less dollars spent.
