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).

The Premium cut rating of this diamond is a balance between cut quality and diamond price. This H color diamond is less colored than the bottom normal color gradings of J and below; it's a great compromise between quality and budget, enabling you to have more in the other Cs of diamonds for example cut rating. The Girdle Thickness of this diamond is "Slightly thick, faceted" - I suggest consulting my article on girdle thickness if you are interested in finding out more about how girdle thickness can be important. SI is short for for Slightly Included, which means this SI1 stone has inclusions that are definitely visible at 10 x magnification and possibly to the naked eye, but which provide the opportunity for significant price discounts if they're not. For $12050, you should be getting a nice stone, so make sure you're harsh in your judgement when you're looking at this stone.
Through decreasing the size of this stone (1.54 carats), you may be able to save a substantial amount of money which can help out with other costs.
