Many people are confused as to how the buy a diamonds. The best explanation is that asking for the price of a diamond is like asking for the price of a house. A real estate agent can't quote you a price for a house without knowing its size, condition, location, etc. This is true for a diamond as well. Specific preferences in cut, clarity, carat and color will affect a diamond's price.

When you begin searching for a diamond, it is helpful if you have an idea of those characteristics that are most important to you. There are a many great things to know about Diamonds and the Diamond Industry. By reading books and the information available on the Internet, you can learn a lot, but that still doesn't help you much in physically grading a Diamond or going through the Diamond buying process.

So, for that one must learn as much as you can about Diamonds. Decide which properties of Diamond are most important to you. Write down, in order of importance, which of the 5C's you care most about: Cost, Carat, Color, Clarity or Cut. Go to Jewelry Stores and get the market price for the type of Diamond you are looking for. Look at the quality of the stones they are quoting you. A most important point to remember is not to compare the price of a certified Diamond with a price of a Diamond, which is not certified, or is only certified by a no-name brand Laboratory. You may be in for a surprise.

You may also ask for the certification of diamonds. There are several Independent Laboratories out there. The most well known is GIA, the Gemological Institute of America. Another important thing is that you must look for corresponding Color and Clarity.
