Diamond Buying Guide
If you are looking for information about buying a diamond (your first diamond purchase) this probably means you are getting engaged. And your engagement diamond purchase is probably the most significant diamond purchase you will make. No doubt, you will have additional opportunities to purchase diamonds (like when your first child is born, or second or third…). But this one is where it all starts.

No matter your budget, there is a diamond right for you. A Diamond’s cut, colour, clarity and carat weight determine its price (or value). And the only factor man has control over is diamond cut. Colour, clarity and carat weight are all determined by nature long before the diamond is extracted from the ground.
By varying the factors of cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, you can hone in on your desired budget. For example a hypothetical one carat ‘G’ colour ‘VS2’ diamond exhibiting hearts and arrows might cost X but a one carat ‘H’ colour ‘VS2’ diamond exhibiting hears and arrows might cost X less ten percent as ‘H’ is one colour lower than ‘G’.
No colour, clarity or carat weight is more ‘correct’ than another. Rather a diamonds colour, clarity and carat weight is a matter of personal choice. When it comes to cut though, as man has control over cut, and as it is generally accepted that the better the cut the brighter the diamond, most people will agree that well cut diamonds are a must and that cut is not something that should be compromised on.
