The <strong>whitest <\/strong>diamond? The diamond with the better looking <strong>cut?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Well, here&#8217;s the truth&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere is no expensive diamond; <strong>they are all exactly the same price:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>$3,000<\/h2>\n<p>\nEvery diamond shown above is <strong>$3,000<\/strong> right on the dot (at the time of this post).<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat this goes to show you, is that <strong>every diamond appears different<\/strong>. So if your budget is $3,000, or $4,000, or whatever it is, there are tons of different stones you could choose from. Some diamonds <strong>will appear 1000% better<\/strong> than others. Meaning, if you don&#8217;t compare stones, if you don&#8217;t shop and see what&#8217;s out there, and see a lot of diamonds, then <strong>you may not be getting the best stone for your budget<\/strong>. You could end up with a darker stone, that lacks brilliance and fire.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Variety matters!<\/h2>\n<p>\nAnd sadly,<strong> most jewelry stores do not have a ton of variety<\/strong>. Which is why <strong>shopping online<\/strong> at one of the biggest diamond dealers can really help you <strong>stretch your hard earned money<\/strong>. Online dealers like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?a_aid=JSDG\">James Allen<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenile.com\/?a_aid=JSDG\">Blue Nile<\/a> will not only get you <strong>a better looking diamond<\/strong>, but at a much cheaper price than any mall store.<\/p>\n<p>\nSimply <strong>enter your price range<\/strong> or budget, then choose the diamond that <strong>looks the best<\/strong>. Once you select a stone, <strong>find your ideal mounting<\/strong> (I usually recommend <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/engagement-rings\/pave\/?a_aid=JSDG\">pave mountings<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/engagement-rings\/halo\/?a_aid=JSDG\">halo mountings<\/a>; since side diamonds add tons of sparkle and beauty to any engagement ring).<\/p>\n<p>\nHead on over to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?a_aid=JSDG\">James Allen<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenile.com\/?a_aid=JSDG\">Blue Nile<\/a> today, and <strong>build the diamond ring of your dreams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Below are 6 diamonds, all 1 carats, all picked by me.
