\"Half<\/div>\n

Here’s something that very few people know: A Great Diamond Cut<\/strong> can make up for a lot of Low Quality Flaws and Characteristics, like Color or Clarity in a Diamond.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s true!<\/strong> If a Diamond is Cut Excellent, it maximizes the beautiful flashes of Brilliance, Fire and Scintillation in a Diamond (Sparkle), and can easily cover up Imperfections or Inclusions<\/strong> in a stone.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s why I always say “Concentrate on CUT First!<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\nCut makes all the difference in the World.<\/p>\n

\nHence is the case with these 1\/2 Carat<\/strong> (50 Point) Diamonds below.<\/p>\n

\nThey are ALL Excellent in Cut!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd not only are they all Excellent Cut, but they are also GIA Certified<\/strong> (Gemological Institute of America<\/strong> – the Best there is) and rated Excellent in Polish and Symmetry as well.<\/p>\n

\nIn other words, these 1\/2 Carat Diamonds will out sparkle<\/strong> pretty much any other Diamond you put them against, no matter what their Color or Clarity is.<\/p>\n

They are that Good!<\/h2>\n

\nI’ve selected these 4 Diamonds to give you a range of prices starting at $880<\/strong> (Yes, $880), all the way up to the top, $2170.<\/p>\n

\nAn average price for a Half Carat Diamond is generally $1500 – $2500<\/strong> depending on where you buy it at and the Quality.<\/p>\n

\nThese Diamonds shown all come from James Allen<\/a> and the prices (because they have no overhead<\/strong>) are sure to impress (as so will their excellent warranties and policies<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nLet’s begin…<\/strong><\/p>\n

.51 SI2 K Round Brilliant Diamond<\/h2>\n

\nFor just $880 you can still get an absolutely great Diamond.<\/p>\n

\nSI2 is still in the SI Clarity Range (the most popular Clarity Range on Earth<\/strong>), and it’s Excellent Cut in Symmetry and Polish as well. Plus, it’s actually 1 Point over a 1\/2 Carat (so it’s not considered a Light Carat<\/a>). <\/p>\n

\nThis Diamond is also GIA Certified with no Fluorescence<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nThe only 2 downfalls to this stone are the fact that it’s an SI2, you may be able to see Inclusions with the naked eye, and the fact that it’s a K in Color<\/strong>. It may have a Faint Yellow hue to it. But here are my opinions on that…<\/p>\n

\nWhile it’s down a little in both Color and Clarity, it definitely makes up for in Cut. An Excellent Cut IS the highest Cut rating there is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Excellent is Excellent!<\/h2>\n

\nI truly believe that the Cut of this stone would hide any slight Color in the Diamond, and more than likely will also hide any eye-visible Inclusions<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n

\nAnd what Inclusions you might be able to see probably could be covered up with a prong, since I don’t see any large black spots in the center of the stone. I see some dark areas near the edge of the stone, and underneath the Facets of the Crown, but a good Jeweler should be able to hide most of that with the Ring Mounting and Prongs<\/strong> you put the Diamond in.<\/p>\n

\nTake a look at this incredible Diamond with an incredible price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

.50 SI2 G Round Brilliant Cut Diamond<\/h2>\n

\nJust in case you are worried about the Color of the stone coming through, I present to you this G Colored Diamond.<\/p>\n

\nG Color is at the very high end of the Near Colorless scale. It’s the next best thing to having a Pure White Diamond. You won’t see ANY Yellow Color in a G Diamond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nG or H or higher is usually what I recommend my Customers buying. <\/p>\n

\nBut, like I said, with a triple Excellent Rating by GIA, I really don’t think Color would ever be an issue.<\/p>\n

\nThis Diamond is a Half Carat right on the dot, with no Fluorescence and it sells for a low $1240.<\/p>\n

\nCheck it out…<\/p>\n

.53 SI1 H Round Brilliant Cut Diamond<\/h2>\n

\nMoving up one more notch in Clarity<\/strong> puts you into an SI1 Clarity Diamond.<\/p>\n

\nSI1 or higher, is considered eye-clean<\/strong>, where you’ll see NO visible Inclusions<\/strong> or Flaws with the naked eye. They are all microscopic (only seen with 10x magnification).<\/p>\n

\nH Color is still at the high end of the Near Colorless Range, and still considered a Fine White Diamond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis is truly an awesome stone, GIA Certified, Triple Excellent Rated with NO Fluorescence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nPlus, it sells for $1460!<\/strong><\/p>\n

.52 VS2 E Round Brilliant Cut Diamond<\/h2>\n

\nNow we get into the Cream of the Crop<\/strong>. My favorite Color and Clarity of all time, VS2 E<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nI Love, Love, Love these Diamonds!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nVS2 is very clean with just a few tiny microscopic Inclusions (You’ll need a 10x Jewelers Loupe<\/a> or a Microscope<\/a> to see them). The Color is E, which is Pure White<\/strong> and very Stunning<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\nE Color looks like it has a spot light on the stone. Very beautiful!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis Diamond has triple Excellent Ratings in Cut, Polish and Symmetry.<\/p>\n

\nYou really can’t get much better than that<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nBeing GIA Certified with no Fluorescence<\/strong>… It really is a dream Diamond<\/strong>. It’s what I fully recommend!<\/p>\n

\nThe only way to get any better (that would show a visible difference), is to get a bigger Carat Weight!<\/strong><\/p>\n
