can you give some bullet points on that?


Everyone talks about the 4 c's but there is more to it than that and some are more important than others. A stone can be 1ct but face up (have the appearance from the top down) of a larger or smaller stone. There are different places that grade stones GIA is the top dog, other grade the same as GIA, and other grade softer. If you by a stone with an from certain other labs they typically grade 2-4 color grades softer compared to GIA and will be priced less. You want to make sure your are comparing apples to apples. Tons of good info on that site and a list of trusted vendors you can by over the Internet with confidence. If you are buying over state lines no sales tax, etc...

Excuse my ignorance, but as long as the ring is flawless to the human eye, why is it important to get the best clarity, cut, etc?? I know a nicer diamond will hold its value and increase in value better but it's not like I would be returning the thing and she sure as hell wont be looking at it under a microscope. I feel like a woman would be happier with a bigger diampnd that has "flaws" that cant be seen by the human eye than a flawless smaller diamond
