Diamond cost is standardized around the world. The price differences from shop to shop are created by the individual retailers. Here at DiamondFinance.net we will evaluate the diamond that you are going to buy to insure that you are facing a reasonable diamond cost for the stone you buy. There are four things that affect diamond cost: carat, cut, clarity, and colour. Each affects whether we can finance the stone.

Number Of Carats Affects Diamond Cost

Everyone knows that the number of carats affects how much a diamond costs, but few understand exactly what a carat is. A carat is made up of points, similar to ounces in a pound or grams to a kilogram. 100 points equals one carat. So 25 points is ¼ carat and so on.

Proportion Affects Diamond Cost

An ideal diamond is cut in perfect proportion. This does not refer to the shape of the diamond. A well cut diamond will have added brilliance because of its proportioned cut. A brilliant diamond cost more than one with a lesser quality of cut. DiamondFinance.net will finance only the best quality stones to insure that you get the best quality for every dollar that you spend.

Diamond Cost Enhanced By Clarity

Even with the perfect cut and the right number of carats a diamond’s cost may be exorbitant if the stone is not perfectly clear. Grading a diamond is done under 10 power magnification. A diamond can be graded between flawless and I3 meaning that the stone is perfect or has 3 or more large imperfections. There is a very large difference in the cost from classification to classification.

Diamond Cost Can Be Shattered By Poor Colour

The most common diamond that is financed by DiamondFinance.net is colorless(often referred to as white). Diamond cost is directly proportional to diamond color. A diamond is graded from colorless to light yellow. A yellow diamond is nearly worthless and can not be financed.
