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).

If you're a cautious online buyer, this VS2 clarity diamond is a good safe option, because it is unlikely to have any inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. By using only $670 on the diamond, one can save more cash to use for other expenses, for example a wedding reception. Because this diamond is a Premium cut diamond, it offers fantastic value for your dollar, since it doesn't attract the price premium of the higher cut gradings, despite still providing decent optical properties. This diamond has a girdle described as "Medium to slightly thick", which can have a role in the shine and apparently width of the diamond, as explained in my diamond girdle article.
