Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend Carat
"I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond." Mae West
You will often see a diamond referred to as a 3/4-carat stone or a 75-point diamond.
Larger stones are often more highly valued, but size should not be the only consideration--high brilliance, which varies according to clarity, cut, and color grade, is highly desirable in a diamond.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend Color
Colored Diamonds are known as "fancies"and contrast to popular belief these rare diamonds can be extremely valuable.
Fancies range in color to pink, blue, brown, champagne and black as well as white.
For the untrained eye most diamonds with a light hue are very difficult to notice unless diamonds of different hues are compared side by side.
For the most part color is a personal choice.

The 5th C Diamond Costs For Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
Save Money With These Diamond Tips
Save on clarity. By going a little shy, you can get a significant cost savings. Most inclusions are not noticeable to the eye anyway. A VS diamond, for instance, provides excellent value, with no noticeable difference to the unaided eye from a VVS diamond.
Save on color. Against darker skin tones, a slightly yellower diamond will still look fairly clear and bright. This strategy may not work if your bride-to-be has a pale complexion. If that's the case, lean toward a colorless or upper-range near-colorless stone. Also, the metal color makes a difference. A yellower diamond will look brighter in a yellow gold setting than it will in a white gold setting.
