Determining What Size Diamond to Buy

Filed under: diamonds — mobilitymary at 7:55 am on Friday, November 14, 2008

Unsure of what size diamond to buy? This all depends on how much money you are willing to spend and the person who is actually wearing the diamond.

It all depends on the person’s fingers. It’s practical common sense that a person who has thin hands will not need that big of a diamond because the diamond will look larger.  Another great idea is to consider the diamond clarity.  A smaller diamond with a clearer clarity is way better than a larger diamond with a larger diamond with a weaker clarity.

Like I said earlier, decide how much money you want to spend, then decide on the diamond’s cut. Once this is figured out you are all set for diamond hunting!

Hunting for Diamonds…

The prices of diamonds tend to vary from store to store. Every jeweler sets their own prices on the items in their stores. When it comes to how much a diamond may cost, it mostly depends on the diamond’s shape. Most round diamonds cost more than a diamond that has an emerald shape even if they have the same size and quality.

As you may have guessed, a diamond’s worth also depends on its weight. For example, a diamond that has a carat weight of about .20 would cost around $500. If you are jewelry hunting and searching for a diamond that weighs at least 1 carat, then the cost should be in a range from $2000 to $3500.

Happy Diamond Hunting!
