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 SI clarity group of diamonds (which this SI1 clarity diamond is part of) is the place where bargains are found. Try and find a diamond that is "clean" to the naked eye, either by going over the diamond in the flesh, or by checking out an online high resolution photo showing the stone. The visual attractiveness of this diamond will be quite good because of its Premium cut, although not quite as good as the more expensive higher cut grades. The G color of this diamond provides value for your dollar, as it isn't a member of the expensive premium color grades D-F.
