Diamonds
Diamonds of one carat and up
Above a carat, small differences in cut, color, and clarity become easier to see, and prices jump at popular weights like 1, 1.5, and 2 carats. Here's how to choose well, with a gemologist beside you.
Buying a larger stone
What changes above a carat
- Price steps
- Prices jump at 1, 1.5, and 2 carats. A 0.95 can look the same as a 1.00 and cost noticeably less
- Clarity
- Bigger facets show more. Many people move up to VS2 or better above two carats
- Color
- Warmth is easier to see in a larger stone, especially in platinum or white gold
- Report
- Insist on a GIA or IGI report, and have an insurance appraisal done once it's set

Insurance
Protect it once it's yours
Our GIA Graduate Gemologist prepares insurance appraisals in the store, with photographs, measurements, and a retail replacement value your insurer can use.
Can I see diamonds before I decide?
Yes. Book a time and our GIA Graduate Gemologist will set out stones in your shape, size, and budget so you can compare them under the loupe.
Do you check the stone against its report?
Every time. We check the measurements, the inclusions, and the laser inscription if there is one against the report before we show you a diamond.
