Here are a couple tips I learned from selling diamonds for about a year:
1) When looking at a diamond - to see the inclusions - look from the side - you can see them easier.
2) No one except the truly ANAL needsa diamond above SI1 in clarity. Most people will be VERY happy with and H in color SI1/2 in Clarity.
3) If you believe diamonds are a good investment - you are a bad investor.
4) A .99 Carat diamond will cost you alot less than a 1.01 Carat diamond - and doesn't look any smaller.
5) Get PLATINUM prongs to set the diamond in. It looks the same as gold (white gold), but is MUCH MUCH MUCH stronger and you will be MUCH LESS likely to loose the diamond.
6) Round cut is considered the "best" and it is usually easier to find deals in this category for reasons of supply and demand. I really don't care about cut, but those in the know (not me) consider people who buy heart shaped diamonds and other weird cuts to be of a lower class....
