How to get the Biggest Bang from your Diamond Buying Bucks.

Focus predominantly on cut proportions.
I guarantee that a diamond with fine cut proportions in the H, I&J color range coupled with VS2-SI2 clarity will knock the socks off an average cut D,E,F or G with a clarity range of flawless-VS1.

Uneducated dealers gloss over cut and try to sell you on better color and clarity. Why? They can make bigger margins on inferior cut diamonds. Finer cut diamonds require larger rough which equates to higher costs.

Save your money, sacrifice a little color and clarity and focus on the cut.
