* I may very well recommend a different diamond for each individual based on his/her specific needs (and I will explain below along with more actual diamond prices).
But since the reality is that 1 carat diamond prices range from $1,900 to $16,000 and 2 carat diamond prices range from $8,000 to $84,000 which is a HUGE difference so as a general rule of thumb, in today’s market, my recommendation for best value for money diamond would be G color, SI1 clarity, no fluorescence and at least very good cut, and very good polish & symmetry. Needless to say that all of the above prices refer to GIA certified diamonds
