The
clarity of the
diamond determines whether it contains any flaws or not. There are different
clarity scales for
diamonds such as Flawless (FL to IF) and Included (I1 to I3).
If you are considering a quality
diamond at moderate pricing, it is best that you opt for a
clarity range of VS or Very Slightly. You can also choose from a 1-
carat diamond in the scale of SI1, SI2, or SI3 for getting one within reasonable pricing. The
carat is another factor that influences the pricing of the
diamond. The
sizes vary for a
1 carat diamond with different
cuts such are larger for a 1-carat
marquise or
oval cut.
You can get the best savings by selecting an elongated
diamond shape. In fact, the
diamond shape can have an impact on the appearance of the
diamond and is one thing to look for if you need an appealing
ring. You can select a
diamond shape that requires less cutting, such as
princess cut, for getting the maximum savings on purchase.
