Q. What would appraise higher good clarity or good color?

Colour is slightly more noticeable than clarity. A nasty inclusion can often be cleverly hidden under a prong, but there`s no hiding the whole diamond that may show it`s colour. Quality cutting can make a diamond reflect more light and appear whiter and brighter. But once clarity is into the VS grade (and even some within the SI-grade), most people would find that it is indistinguishable from flawless unless you have a magnifying glass.

Q. How do you read on paper a diamond's clarity?
i am about to buy an engagement ring for my gilrfriend, and in the specifications it has some letters and numbers, i just want to know whats considered a good diamond and low grade thank you before hand

Try this little tutorial for diamonds about the 4C's of diamonds. http://www.diamondreview.com/tutor/4cs/tutor_4cs_intro.shtml. Go for quality of diamond. You could get at VS1 or VS2 to SI1 or SI2 clarity of diamond (where you cannot see oclusions in the diamond with the naked eye and definately avoid I2 and I3), G-H color (nearly colorless to slightly yellow, respectively - and you can't really tell the "yellowness" that easy with H rating). The carat and cut really depend on what the setting for the ring will be.

Q. Is .5 carat diamond too small for engagement ring?
i am in the market for a engagement ring. i am going with loose diamonds and then pick the setting that i think my gf will like. my question is this: is a .52 carat loose diamond too small ? this is the actual weight of that diamond and not what is referred by some marketing gimmick as "total weight or tcw (total carat weight)" the other numbers are very good for the diamond such as, color: e clarity: vvs1 cut: very good i have no idea if half carat diamond will be too small. obviously i would like to get a 1 carat but they are pretty expensive and even though i could afford it i just think that they are too much for a stone. any advice ? oh yes, i would like to get answers from guys & gals. i know most of the girls would say its not enough because for most there is a psychological barrier of diamonds below 1 carat (or so i heard) so i would like to hear from guys too !!

Surprisingly, the Carat is the last number that should be considered when purchasing a diamond. The first thing that you should look at is the Cut. After all, the Cut determines if you get the most out of the diamond that you can get. 'Ideal' or 'very good' is exactly where you should be. Next is Color. D-F is colorless, G-I is near colorless, etc. Anything in the D-F range should be perfect. Then comes Clarity, IF is absolutely flawless (good luck finding these below $10,000) and VVS1, VVS2 follow that. Since it is VVS1, I'd say that you're doing great. LAST comes Carat. If you have all the other specifications that you listed earlier, I would say that you are getting a FANTASTIC diamond. A lot of women say that they will not take less than 1.00 carat and others say that anything over 1.00 carat is gaudy. I would say that a .52 carat diamond that is as close to perfect as you can get without blowing the bank is worth WAY more than a larger stone that is brownish with a bad cut and even worse clarity. If your girl knows anything about diamonds, she'll agree. She'll love the stone you picked out.

Q. Which diamond ring should i buy?
i have my eyes on 2 different ring. 1: 0.75ct round solitery diamond ring with j color & si2 clarity; the gold weight is 4.5gms. 2: 0.87ct round solitery diamond ring with j-k color & si2-si3 clarity; the gold weight is 0.85gms. i heard that diamonds are bigger the better, but i also heard that diamond is most valuable if it is 0.25ct, 0.5ct, 0.75ct, or 1.00ct. other then those numbers, the diamond prices won't be much of a difference. please give me your true opinion on which one is better. thanks

if dat is so(like most valuable diamonds-0.75ct)den i think u should go for d 1st option.n any ways when u r buying something like a diamond dem u should go for d better pieces coz diamonds r not things u wear for fashion sake.u should show off ur ring lol. n ya it depends upon u wat u r happy with.

Q. Which diamond ring should my bf buy for our engagement?
i have my eyes on 2 different ring. 1: 0.75ct round solitery diamond ring with j color & si2 clarity; the gold weight is 4.5gms. 2: 0.87ct round solitery diamond ring with j-k color & si2-si3 clarity; the gold weight is 0.85gms. i heard that diamonds are bigger the better, but i also heard that diamond is most valuable if it is 0.25ct, 0.5ct, 0.75ct, or 1.00ct. other then those numbers, the diamond prices won't be much of a difference. please give me your true opinion on which one is better. thank you!!! ya, i know my bf is the one supposed to choose the ring, but he insist i do it for him since it will be on my finger for long long time. he said i pick and he will buy it for me. he said he is really bad at picking out gifts.

they are both about the same in color and clarity, and the carat difference isn't enough to be noticable. And the bigger the diamond does NOT mean better. You could get a 2 carat ring that has terrible color and clarity and doesn't sparkle, so it would be a waste of money. Quality is better than quantity when it comes to diamonds.
