Choosing the Right Diamond

Buying a diamond is often one of the most meaningful purchases in life. These simple tips can help guide you toward a confident, informed choice.

Diamond Weight & Size

While many shoppers are drawn to the largest diamond within their budget, size isn’t everything. A larger diamond may contain more visible inclusions, and if it’s not cut properly, it won’t reflect light as beautifully.

What truly makes a diamond sparkle is its cut and proportions, not just its size. Prioritize brilliance over carat weight for a diamond that truly shines.


Diamond Color

Diamonds come in a range of shades from colorless to warm yellow-brown tones. Sometimes a hint of color can add character or depth, especially when paired with yellow gold, which can help a near-colorless diamond appear brighter.
