Either you buying loose diamond, diamond jewelry, buying online or from the shop, it’s always a difficult decision that what price should I pay for diamond and how can I make sure that I get the best buy.

  • Color : 2nd Most important factor to observed.  Although nature creates diamonds in various colors such as white, pink. yellow, black and many others. Out of all these color white is the most popular colors, which further divided into a subcategory of color starting from D,E,F......until Z. D mean the whitest color and the most expensive as well.
  •  Cut : 3rd Most important factor. Cut provide you the information about diamond shape. Diamond comes in many shapes. Round or Rose cut diamond are usually the most expensive and the most common shape used in ornaments.
