When selecting your diamond, remember that the biggest ring isn't always the best ring - and a smaller diamond can easily have more luminosity and beauty than a gigantic one. It's all about the person wearing it. The cut and other qualities of the diamond should reflect the taste of the person wearing it. If a woman prefers larger, more elaborate jewelry, consider that you can get a bigger diamond that has some internal flaws for the same amount of money as a smaller, flawless diamond. Usually these flaws (called "inclusions") aren't easily-if at all-visible to the naked eye. Rather than focusing on words like 'flawless' and 'colorless', consider carefully what the wearer of the diamond prefers. A pave-set band with a 2.0 carat diamond is a guaranteed conversation piece. A woman who rarely wears jewelry would most likely prefer a more understated, beautiful solitaire diamond that is practically flawless. You can purchase 0.80 Carat diamonds from between $1,220 and $8,270. For example, you can get a dazzling Princess Cut Diamond, color J, clarity VVS2, Premium cut for $1,750 or an exquisite Round Diamond, color F, clarity VS1, Ideal cut for $3,900. |
