This diamond is an incredible find.  The inclusion is right on the edge and easily ‘prongable’ (covered by a prong) so the diamond will be completely eye-clean.  It is beautifully cut and the faint fluorescence is like ‘an olive in the martini.’  All in all, this is a great value.

This is a unique diamond.  While the inclusion is large, it is in a perfect location.  You can easily cover that with a prong and the diamond will be completely eye-clean.  This diamond is an excellent deal for the price they are selling it for.

Q: I was wondering if you can help me find a diamond on the Blue Nile website (i would like to use Blue Nile because they have a good cash-back promotion with Discover now).

I am looking to get a princess cut diamond in the 8500-9000 range. I am confused if I should go for a H/SI1 or I/VS2 ring.

Thanks for any advice. Read More→

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a daily diamond selection.  I’ve been back and forth a lot over this matter.  I’m not convinced that you, the readers, find these selections useful.  If you feel like these are important, and I should continue posting daily diamond recommendations, then please let me know in the comments!

Today I decided to get back in the daily diamond game right at a very popular price point – the best round brilliant diamond for $10,000.  Today’s stone looks like a great find.  The inclusions in the center are going to be invisible to the naked eye and the orangy inclusion on the side (at about 5 o’clock in the picture) can be covered by the prong on the ring.  An I color diamond is still going to look white to your eye as well, and the Excellent cut grade is going to ensure a very brilliant stone, so this stone really offers fantastic value.
