If you want to keep costs low, however, there are ways to do that when buying a
1 ct princess cut diamond solitaire ring.
Compromise on the Clarity
It takes 10x magnification to bring out inclusions in a stone of SI1 or even SI2
clarity. That means people will not notice these flaws when they look at the
diamond, because it is eye-clean. If you are buying bigger than
1 carat, SI2 is not a good option, because larger
diamonds reveal inclusions much more easily.
Get a Faint Brown Diamonds
Regardless of what the name implies, faint brown
diamonds look close to colorless at first glance. Besides, people usually look for
yellow instead, which makes a super light brown tint very easy to miss.
Fluorescence
Fluorescent
diamonds emit a colored glow under UV light. Medium or strong
fluorescence can make a
diamond look brighter than stated in the certificate, and if appearances matter, which they do, you should consider getting one of these
stones.
