Diamonds are priced by quality and quality is determined by the 3 Cs: cut, carat, clarity. Buying from a reputable jeweler is the best bet, especially if they have been around for a while. Otherwise, look carefully at the stone: it should be clear and the facets should be obvious in good light. It should make prisms (rainbows) in the light and should be in a good setting of gold or platinum. Don't fall for "bargains"; anyone offering a giant diamond for less than $5,000 should be suspect.
