- De Beers, the world leading diamond trading company, recommends a budget of approximately 2 month salary for a diamond engagement ring. In their words «...Spend less and the relatives will talk; spend more and they'll rave...»
- With your budget in mind make your diamond choice based on the information in this web page. Determine what is more important for you, a diamond of larger size with some compromise on the overall quality combination of cut, clarity and color or a smaller diamond of higher quality and beauty. Do not compromise on the Cut.
- In entering your search parameters in the Diamond Search Form, indicate always a range one grade above and below your intended grade, a notch above and below the intended proportions and allocated budget. After all, a superb offer may be missed if such a flexible range was not used.
Thus, instead of a 1.00 to 1.10 Carat E to F Color, VVS1 Clarity, maximum $4,750 budget,
0.95 to 1.19 Carat D to G Color, IF to VVS2 Clarity, maximum $5,000 budget.You may be surprised at your findings!
- Finally, always submit at least 2 choices, to avoid disappointments if your first choice is, alas, no longer available.
