I have studied the basic of diamond grading. In my own opinion, I do think the 4C’s are all important. Not one weighs more than the others. One low C can ruin the other 3 C’s. This is how I see. With a low budget should just go for small carat as all you want is a diamond ring and not to show off. A small one is hard to see the other Bad side of the 3 C’s. Thank you. Love your video. ❤
Great tips! We love starting with budget and value when shopping with a customer so we can get them the best bang for their buck. Diamond industry can be so complex for people who haven't studied...
Please - do not use background "music" especially while you are speaking. It just gets in the way. What you say is interesting and well covered - so the "drama" of "music" is never needed.
Thanks so much for your vidoes. It's really time consuming and confusing to wade through all this information and learn it by yourself. You have done me a huge favor. Thanks again.
Very informative video! Looking to begin the shopping process for an engagement ring and its nice to hear a jeweler that is honest that you don’t need that VVS1 diamond
This is an interesting perspective because I've always loved the cloudiness in quartz and would love to see more diamond jewelry with those same unique characteristics. As someone who has really no prior knowledge of diamonds it is fascinating to see how arbitrary the standards really are to someone who doesn't buy into the standards set by the diamond industry to sell expensive jewelry. Do you know where I could find stones with cloudiness? I love that diamonds are the the hardest mineral on earth and the amazing geometric cuts but I just don't care about clarity.
The shocking thing is that when you filmed this, if a 1 carat, G, VS1, xxx mined diamond were priced at, say $7,000, then the lab grown of similar quality would have been $4,500. At that time the lab grown option was not that compelling, at least not in terms of money, perhaps in terms of strip mining, human slavery, financing of wars etc., but not money out of pocket. Today that same quality lab grown diamond is $500. It's going to be interesting to see if brides appreciate the saved money, or if they will wonder if the groom is really "sacrificing" enough to prove his love.
Thank you for your insightful clips. Personally, I wouldn't go lower than a VS1 diamond. I found a wonderful bezel-set ring, with a K-colour VS1 stone. The yellow gold drew out the yellow tinge from the stone, so the diamond looks wonderful, with a glowing sparkle. I would highly recommend a K-colour and VS1. What do you think about K-diamonds?
Great video and thank you for all the information. In my research so far, I have come across the Decagon diamond. Have you heard of this and is it as good as they claim?
Which one is better . 1. Diamond with VSI clarity F color and 40 cents round cut 2. Diamond with VSI clarity and H color and 45 cent round cut 3. Diamond with SI1 and H color and half a Carat round cut And why you consisdered any one of these ?
Probably number 3. as long as it is eye-clean (I.E no obvious/ large inclusions on the table), as it will likely be cheaper than the other two. You also need to take into account the cut (stick with ideal/ excellent or very good) and what lab certified the diamond (as mentioned in the video, stick to GIA/ AGL wherever possible)

For stones around 0.5C , a very good cut, si clarity and H colour should be a good choice for budget concern.
For round stones, inclusions not appearing on table is also a very nice choice

That is why I do this! I am so glad you benefited. Thanks for watching.
I’m looking to buy a parachute engagement. Thank you for the valuable information.

Is it black diamond if test or check using XRF results : Ti=0.352, Fe=96.36, Cu=0.380, Zn=0.055, Sn=2.60 and Au=0.241 ?
Would you say that G or H are noticeably more icy than I with a white gold setting oval stone?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 💕
I personally would stick to ideal or excellent cut
I agree it is often a good place to spend on the cut!
great presentation, thanks, please keep them coming.
I really want to buy a ring! Yes Google, please suggest me more videos and show me all the adds!
Do you sell moissanite rings ?
Yeah but a lot people can't afford a real diamond 💍 ring. Lab diamonds rings or moissanite diamonds are stunning also.
Is AGS reputable for choosing diamonds?

Sir I completed my diamond graduate course from IGI ....SI stones are more included on IGI reports than GIA.
I think this guy's education on diamonds far outweighs whatever you just learned from your little course.
Great video and thank you for all the information. In my research so far, I have come across the Decagon diamond. Have you heard of this and is it as good as they claim?
thanks for this very helpful
Thank you for that infermation
thanks 🙏
Thank u!
Try not to buy stones with feathers on crown and gridle area
I really have raw diamond ready to sell it but if you are interested please let me know to show you the video

1. Diamond with VSI clarity F color and 40 cents round cut

Hi carbon diamond meteorite weighing 19,000 carats
Of course not black colour inclusions, no fluorescent.
Diamonds are worthless it's a fake shortage caused by the miners not releasing any amount of their worthless product that comes out of mother Earth😂

Get rid the music dude. It doesn't help the real purpose of the video.
It didn't hurt either. Nothing wrong with the music.
Music is fine. Stop hating.
