Tips on finding good diamond deals

We have been going strength to strength by bolstering our diamond inventory, which now stands at more than 78,000 diamonds. SO while on 1 hand we can find you practically any diamond, the immediate thought that comes to mind is how can i find that 1 diamond which is a perfect mix of value and quality.

Here in this post we share tips to get bargains in general:

1) Look for non premium sizes: As discussed in the previous posts size like 1 carat, 0.50 carat, 0.60 carat or 1.5 carat or 2 carat are premium. Look for sizes like 0.95 or 0.57 carat to gain from human idiosyncrasies.

2) Look for better cut : Diamond pricing depends a lot on the visible factor too. So if a diamond looks better, no matter what its grading it is a good deal. One way to identify a good dimaond is going for a TRIPLE-EX which is CUT, POLISH and SYMMETRY all being Excellent. Well there is a premium to triple EXes but you can neutralize that by going for a clarity step down. SO for instance if you are looking for VS1 go for VS2 or VS2 then go for SI1. But going too far down on the clarity scale is not recommended. So the gain in going 1 step down in clarity is more than going for all EXes.

3) A litle bit of fluorescence isnt so bad. Dont always look for NONE fluorescence. A SLIGHT or FAINT fluorescence can save you a lot of money while not affecting the diamond looks as much.

4) Diamond of upto size 0.60 Carats are literally immune to clarity so for a F,G,H color shade you can go upto I1 clarity also.

5) Try Fancy shapes: Fancy shapes like princess, emerald, oval, heart, asscher, radiant, pear, marquise come at a discount as compared to round brilliant cut.

Hope these tips help you save money and make your search for that 1 diamond a lot easier.
After all you now have the E=MC2 equivalent to the diamond search in your hands.

A word of caution: Going for uncertified diamonds is a self rip-off. Please dont do that to yourself.

Independence Day Diamond Deal

It is a well acknowledged fact in the diamond industry that diamonds of 1 Carat Weight sell at higher premium. This is because many of us are obsessed with wearing a diamond that is at least a carat! However if you are not too stuck up with the idea of wearing at least 1 carat, you can earn yourself some really good deal by looking at a diamond size that is slightly smaller than the magical number of 1 carat.

On first look if you look at a 95 cent diamond very carefully you may find it only marginally smaller than a 1 carat weight diamond. Not many will be able to tell that difference easily! So if you are willing to go for a slightly smaller diamond then you may be able to save yourself some serious money. We believe that is what smart shopping is all about.

To add a little objectivity here we are comparing two diamonds which are almost similar in various parameters except their carat weight. Look at the jump at the price when you move from a 96 cent diamond to a 1 carat diamond.


Round Brilliant Cut, IGI Certified
Carat Weight : .96 Carat
Color: J
Clarity: SI1
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry:Very Good
Fluroroscence: None
Cost: Rs. 1,15,000.
