If you're like most consumers of diamonds, you have a limited budget. However, you always want to get the biggest and most beautiful diamond in your budget. You can take some simple steps you will see the biggest diamond possible.

1) Diamonds have price increases per carat carat weight more popular (0.50, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00, etc.) because that is what customers demand when they go to a jewelry store. Your dollars can go further buying a diamond with a carat weight, just under the weight. For example, a diamond weighing 0.90 carats can be the same millimeter diameter like a diamond weighing 1.00 carat but cost $ 1,000 less.

2) The price of diamonds is very sensitive to color level, but most consumers have trouble seeing the difference between some degrees of color. If you buy the lowest level of color is beautiful in your eyes, lower price per carat allows you buy a bigger diamond with your dollars. The highest qualities of color (D, E and F) are classified as "colorless." The shades of colors next (G, H, I and J) are "near colorless" and the source of beautiful diamonds at prices much lower.

3) A diamond ring of several smaller less expensive one diamond with the same total carat weight. For example, three 0.50 carat diamonds will cost a fraction of what a single diamond weighing 1.50 carats. The same thing applies to a 1.0-carat center stone of 0.25 carat diamonds on each side. If you want a finger full of diamonds with a limited budget, consider several diamonds, rather than a loner.

4) All diamonds have inclusions, the key is that you can see with your eyes. Once a diamond is clean to the eye (VS2 or SI1 good shapes brilliant cut), clarity PROMOTED have no impact on the beauty or appearance of a diamond, they only add the expenditure. Get the lowest grade of clarity, you are comfortable and make lots of money will not sacrifice beauty.

5) The shape of the diamond can affect the millimeter size. Of course, you should always get the diamond shape you prefer, but some forms appear larger than other forms. Oval, marquis and diamond pear-shaped search generally larger than the round or square diamonds with the same carat weight.

6) Even diamonds with the same shape and carat weight can be different sizes. The cut of the diamond can influence the millimeter size. Diamonds shallow tend to be larger in length and width than diamonds, more profound. This is similar to two men each weighing 200 pounds, where waist smaller causes probably a tall man.

7) The type of setting you choose to hold your diamond can influence the perceived size of the diamond thus affect all the money you spend on the diamond. The white gold settings cost about one third of the parameters of platinum leaving more money for your diamond. Bezel set with diamonds or diamonds and paving stones around the center can make the diamond appear bigger.

Perhaps the most important factor in obtaining the biggest diamond for your dollars is where you buy. The retail margin on diamonds can range from less than 10% with online retailers with more than 200% in stores, high end jewelry. Find a retailer with a very low cost overhead and will ensure lower your dollars go for your diamond. Why spend your money on the polished marble floors, the windows of fancy and elaborate commercial interiors, all things that you can not carry out of the store?

In the end, you want to go with the diamond that excites you and makes you happy each time you wear it. This is the best indicator that you've made the right decision and get the best diamond for you.
