The cost of a diamond is determined by:
The combination of the 4Cs.
The availability in the market.
The choices you make about these combinations of quality determine the cost to you, the consumer.
Is color the most important consideration for you? Perhaps it is clarity. Is your desire a one-carat ideal cut, or would you choose some desirable combination of these cost-determining factors to arrive at the perfect diamond for your item?
The price per karat is higher for a 1.00 karat diamond than for a 0.50 karat diamond of equal cut, color, and clarity. An example: a 1ct. VS2 G color diamond at $6,700 per karat = total cost $6,700, compared to a .50ct. VS2 G color diamond at $2,400 per carat = $1,200. The bigger the diamond, the higher the color and clarity grade, and the better the cut, the more expensive the diamond.
