Fact A: the best deal you can make is when you buy under the market price
Fact B: the more middlemen there are between you and the source, the more margin is added to the final diamond price, the so called retail price. It is usually far above the real diamond price list.
Wholesale loose diamonds come directly from the diamond source and have not passed through middlemen, marketing cost or have price adds due to other overhead cost such as retail cost. It's actually THE ONLY PROVEN WAY TO SAVE ON DIAMONDS.

But even if you’re clear with your desires and found a reliable diamond partner, the price may still remain an open question. So, here the question of how to get the best diamond possible and read the price list correctly.
Learn the exact aspects of your diamond!.
Ensure your seller will get the most valuable, radiant, and massive diamond for your budget!
As you may see, getting a diamond price list no longer requires any superpowers or detective skills. The ability to read the diamond prices from the chart correctly is what customers ask today.
So, to know the fundamental rule of how professionals calculate diamond prices, meet the term “price per carat.” In a chart, it serves as an entry point in the diamond industry pricing list for an inexperienced buyer.
The formula itself is really simple:
Let’s say, you have chosen a diamond in a category estimated $2,000 per carat. In this case, the gemstone of 2.5 carat will cost you $2,000 * 2.50, or $5,000.
The same principle applies to the diamond with certain stable parameters. For example, you have chosen a diamond ring of VVS1 clarity, oval cutting, and D color. This weight category is estimated in $31,000, so the pricing for a 2 carat jewel is $31,0000 * 2, or $61,000.
As a takeaway message, pay attention to the carat number while buying or selling an engagement ring. Weight is more important than color, cut, and clarity parameters. This rule doesn’t apply to big diamonds, though.
Free Wholesale QuoteThe heavier weight category is, the greater price per carat it receives. That’s what affects the diamond pricing - just as the price per carat. It can be tricky. that affects the diamond pricing is the exactweight category it falls in. It can betricky because the line of 0.01 carat between two categories may result in 20% price difference! The line of 0.01 carat between two categories may result in 20% price difference – even if color, cut, clarity, and the ring design are completely the same! That’s why one of the life hacks in buying the best diamond for less is to choose a 0.9 carat diamond instead of a full one carat gemstone. Just because they refer to different weight categories, their exact weight becomes so dramatically different.
The influential factors are not limited to a carat-related matter only. What is also crucial is cutting. In retail sales, all the manipulation happens with diamond cuts. For the sake of maintaining the perk of higher weight category, the well-known brands tend to avoid making a perfect cutting. In other words, they present not-that-perfectly cut jewels as flawless. Even with a 10% discount, they sell these diamonds 10% higher (because of an initial 20% markup). In the given circumstances, the only way to secure your purchase is to learn everything about cut in advance!
And of course, don’t neglect the role of rarity in your diamond. The more uniqueness a chosen gemstone has, the higher price you pay for it. For example, a completely colorless and ideally cut diamond (being “clean” from all the sides, in simple words) is so expensive simply because it’s truly rare to find. Big diamonds are also rarer than small ones – and the pricing result is the same. So, if you aim at buying D color, flawless clarity, an ideal cut, and enormous diamond weight get ready to pay a fortune for your ring! It will be truly unique.
THere’s the table that demonstrates to you the exact differences between a 2 carat diamond price list and a 3 carat diamond price list.

Even though there are many parameters to consider in diamond prices, the pricing models themselves are rather standardized. This means that any observer acquainted with the basic dimensions of a diamond (color, weight, cut, and clarity) can provide the approximate price for any gemstone to buy or sell. However, don’t take this task that easy – the exact value of a jewel only an expert knowing all the market conditions can provide..
At least, the professionals always stay tuned for more news in the diamond industry. They can track all the differences in the diamond price chart. An increased demand in diamonds of a specific clarity can make the whole diamond weight category more expensive to sell. The same applies to a particular color or cut. In 2015, only experts could predict the rising popularity of princess and cushion gemstones. These days, you need to track trends to see the rising popularity of pink color. Probably, only the top clarity is never-fading classics in the diamond world.
Free Wholesale QuoteCarat is the source of the core misunderstanding that leads inexperienced buyers into error. The growing carat number doesn’t automatically mean the proportional increase in the size of a jewel! In other words, a 2 carat diamond doesn’t automatically mean the gemstone is twice bigger than a 1 carat diamond. Even if it appears so, the big doesn’t equal the heavy.
At the same time, you already know that the carat size became the pricing standard. The price per carat is taken as a unit for determining the value of a diamond. However, it’s not a sole element in diamond pricing – in reality, the difference range for a 2 carat diamond may get at $65,000! So, be careful and don’t rely on size and weight that much by choosing the engagement ring of your dreams.
The color grades slightly affect the diamond price list. However, that doesn’t mean you should eliminate the color factor while buying a diamond at all.
The choice of a completely colorless gemstone increases its cost dramatically. But the color hue grades don’t affect the amount of dollars paid for a gemstone. If you want to buy a diamond in a solitaire setting, aim at avoiding “I+” color hue – especially when it comes to round and cushion shapes.
Just keep in mind you can take a slight price off for allowing the higher amount of yellowish tint in a diamond. An H color diamond can be 10% cheaper than a D color one. However, don’t go easy on color decrease – or you’ll lose the crucial points in terms of quality.

In terms of pricing, a good cut is what brings a diamond its brilliance and sparkle.
In exact terms, the market distinguishes symmetry and polish quality, along with poor, good, and excellent cut grades. Alongside this, take into account the table size and depth. In addition, fluorescence is reflected as a blueish glow under UV light – and being strong enough, it reduces the price without visible flaws.
Frequently referred to as a fifth C, GIA certificate is an important factor to take into consideration. It includes the set of diamond features that demonstrate the quality –4Cs, fluorescence, symmetry,image of measurements, diagram of inclusions and blemishesand other important factors. Giving a diamond a report number, the certificate provides a hard copy to secure your purchase. It can also be found in a digital database ifyou need to get your certificate online.
Among various certificates, the ones given by GIA and AGS laboratories are the most respectable in the diamond industry. And their presence is crucial – especially when it comes to a diamond purchase over $1,000.
To make the decent choice, consider the secret ingredient – and probably, the most important factor in finding YOUR diamond. That’s a story a gemstone tells.
And typically, that’s a long and complicated story.
First, the diamond is mined in a special place. For many years, most of the diamonds in the industry were delivered from the poor neighborhoods in Africa. In these regions, armed people herd thousands of innocent villagers into mines – and in the case of non-obedience, they killed them. That poured much blood on diamonds, quickly turning these innocent jewels into the symbol of human cruelty.
In the given circumstances, many people started requesting diamond engagement rings that are free of such histories. Even if they are more expensive in the diamond price chart. Some people even think of rejecting diamonds at all.
