DO YOU SEE A $6,000 DIFFERENCE IN DIAMONDS?

Sure, knowing the 4c’s; cut, color, clarity and carat weight is crucial to getting a great looking diamond with tons of sparkle and beauty…

But the #1 way, is by sight.

Because if it doesn’t look good, then no amount of money will make any difference.

Seeing is believing!

A great example of comparing diamonds side by side, are these two diamonds below. Both 1 carats, both brilliant cut, but both miles apart in price.

Take a peek…

It’s hard to believe that there is a $6,000 difference between these. They look virtually alike (if you mixed them up on the table, you would never know which is which). The difference is mainly microscopic. Not to mention the fact that all diamonds appear different in the light and has to do with every combined aspect like cut, symmetry, polish, proportions and scintillation. Which is why viewing lots of diamonds, in all different ranges is wise, not only to how they face up and dance with light, but how they affect your pocket book.

Generally speaking, if you purchase a diamond that’s at least H in color or higher, with a clarity of at least SI1 or higher, you probably won’t see much of a difference between them. Even comparing them to the best diamonds on Earth. It’s hard for the eyes to judge small details, quality, slight shades of white… But you can see the price tag, loud and clear.

So tell me, is it worth $6,000 to purchase a VVS1 diamond, verses the SI1?

Not in my book.
