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 quality for this diamond provides a good compromise between cut rating and diamond price. F color diamonds are pretty much colorless, meaning they are included in the pure white group of diamonds. SI stands for Slightly Included; that means this SI1 stone contains inclusions that are definitely visible at a zoom level of ten times and possibly to the naked eye, but which provide the potential for bargains if they are not. No diamond girdle listed for this diamond, this might be because it has a "knife-edge" girdle meaning that the girdle has zero thickness. The size of this diamond is 2.06 carats - but make sure you look for the other diamonds for sale with a similar 2.06 weight that might have a more desirable combination of properties and price.
Weighing up the $22900 price of this diamond, put in some thought into whether any of the property qualities are excessive for your needs.
