The Little-Known Way to Get a High-Quality Diamond for Less

When it comes to buying a diamond, many people believe they have to spend a fortune to get a high-quality gem. However, the truth is that there are ways to get a stunning, top-tier diamond for a fraction of the expected cost. If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck without compromising on quality, this article will guide you through the little-known strategies that can make this possible.

1. Consider Lab-Grown Diamonds

One of the most effective ways to get a high-quality diamond for less is by choosing a lab-grown diamond. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The difference? Lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments, reducing the cost of production. Because of this, you can often find a lab-grown diamond that is 20-40% less expensive than a mined diamond of the same quality.

Not only are lab-grown diamonds more affordable, but they are also an ethical choice, as they do not contribute to the environmental and social concerns associated with diamond mining. If you’re looking for a way to save money while still getting a beautiful, genuine diamond, lab-grown diamonds are the way to go.

2. Focus on the “Sweet Spot” in Carat Weight

Another little-known tip for saving money on diamonds is to look for diamonds that fall just below popular carat weight benchmarks, like 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 carats. For example, a diamond that weighs 0.95 carats will appear nearly identical to a 1.0-carat diamond, but it can be significantly less expensive.

This strategy allows you to get the appearance of a larger diamond without paying the premium that comes with those whole-number carat weights. By focusing on these “sweet spot” diamonds, you can maximize the size of your diamond while staying within budget.

3. Embrace the Lower End of the Clarity Scale

Clarity is one of the 4 Cs of diamond grading, but it’s also one where you can save a lot of money. The key is to find diamonds that have inclusions (imperfections) that are not visible to the naked eye. Diamonds graded as SI1 (Slightly Included 1) or VS2 (Very Slightly Included 2) offer a great balance between appearance and cost.

These diamonds may have tiny imperfections when viewed under magnification, but to the naked eye, they look flawless. By choosing a diamond with a slightly lower clarity grade, you can save a significant amount of money without sacrificing the beauty of the stone.

4. Buy Online from Reputable Retailers

Buying diamonds online has become increasingly popular, and for a good reason. Online retailers often have lower overhead costs than brick-and-mortar stores, allowing them to offer diamonds at more competitive prices.

When purchasing online, make sure to choose a reputable retailer that provides certification for their diamonds, offers a return policy, and has positive customer reviews. You can often find better deals online, along with a wider selection, which means you’re more likely to find a high-quality diamond that fits your budget.

This is a gorgeous custom tension set engagement ring that we made as an "upgrade" for our customer's five year anniversary! 😁🙌💕 This ring has our customer's original diamond, set in a platinum tension setting with matching diamonds channel set as an accent on the side. Her wife's original engagement ring was this style, and she wanted to have her engagement ring match, so we made it happen! 😁🙌 I think this is such a cool ring and a beautiful representation of tension set rings.
