They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. When shopping for an engagement ring for your girlfriend, an anniversary band for your wife, a pendant for your mother, or a tennis bracelet for your daughter, you will more than likely be combing the jewelry stores for the best diamond prices. The price you will pay will depend on a number of factors – color, clarity, carat, and cut. Most diamonds are white in color, but there are a few varieties that are not. There are yellow, blue, pink, orange, red, black, green, brown, and grey diamonds. When analyzing traditional white diamonds, they are rated based on their color – from exceptional to tinted. Diamond prices vary based on those ratings, with exceptional being the best that money can buy. Fancy colored diamonds are very rare, so they are of course more expensive than even exceptional white diamonds. Clarity is also taken into consideration when the price of a diamond is determined. If the diamond has flaws, it will not be sold for as much as a diamond that is flawless. Not many diamonds are flawless, and those that are will cost you a huge chunk of change. Carat weight is a huge factor in determining diamond prices. The bigger the diamond is, the more it will cost. That usually goes without saying. Most people know that a quarter carat diamond will not be as expensive as a diamond that weighs in at a full carat. The cut of the diamond will also dictate its price. This is something that many people do not realize. Some cuts are just more difficult to make. Therefore, they cost more.
