Unfortunately, since the volume of inventory of I1 clarity diamonds is so much less than the higher clarity grades, today we are forced drop down to $13,000 for our daily diamond selection following yesterday’s pick of the best I1 clarity diamond for $17,000.

Now this stone is probably not technically eye clean.  If you study it for any amount of time, you will probably be able to make out the inclusions.  But, at a casual glance, the stone is definitely clean to the naked eye.  Marquise cuts are great at masking inclusions.  Notice how the inclusions blend into the overall look of the stone.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond.  As I mentioned yesterday, with a small diamond, I don’t recommend buying a setting with too much “bling” in the background – it’s better to let the center stone stand on its own.  But with a monster like today’s, diamond, I think it definitely adds to the beauty of the ring without taking anything away from the center stone.  Today’s stone is 13.70mm long!  That’s enormous.  This stone would look amazing with James Allen’s Platinum Round Brilliant Diamond Engagement Ring with 4 round brilliant side stones weighing a total of 0.70 ct.

As discussed in my Truth About Diamond Prices article, diamond prices jump at round weight categories (ie, 0.50, 0.70, 0.90, 1.00, 1.50, etc).  So a 0.49 carat diamond will be around 20% less than a 0.50 carat diamond.  Likewise with a 0.69 carat diamond compared to a 0.70 carat diamond.

Today’s diamond is one of those rare 0.69 carat beauties.  All of the size of a 0.70 carat diamond, but a lot less money!

Here’s the stats (or click here for a copy of the GIA Certificate):

J Diamond Color

SI2 Diamond Clarity

Measurements: 5.64*5.68*3.59

Diamond Cut: Very Good

Diamond Polish: Good

Diamond Symmetry: Very Good

Depth: 63.4%

Table: 55%

Price:  $1,140

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a copy of the diamond’s picture at press time, but you can click on the link below to be brought to the diamond on JamesAllen.com and see it there.  It’s completely eye-clean.

Normally, I wouldn’t recommend a diamond with a depth higher than 62.5%, but since this is such a steal at 69 points, and since the diamond still maintains a “Very Good” Diamond Cut grade from the GIA, I’m enthusiastically recommending this diamond.  The diameter is still about 5.65mm which is still really good for a 3/4 carat diamond.
