bigger the stone, the cheaper it looks if you go with poor quality. my "diamond guy" in Metairie told me that a little above or below 1.0c is less expensive than a spot-on carat due to popular demand; round cut is most expensive for same reason. My wife's is 1.25c VVS2 G-color "good" cushion cut (or Tiffany cut)..think I paid $9k wholesale for the stone. By going slightly above 1c and going with a less popular cut--but not compromising on color and clarity--I saved some money and still got an heirloom quality stone. They also put low quality smaller stones around it so it looks like she has golf ball of ice on her hand.

Very true, you want just under the next 1.0 or.5 carat.
Asscher is very often among the expensive cuts because of the facets and depth it provides.
