If I could share one piece of advice with someone looking to buy a diamond it would be that two diamonds with the same weight, color and clarity are probably not equal in value. The difference could be as significant as one diamond being twice the cost of the other stone. A number of factors such as the placement and color of the inclusion, talent of the cutter, etc. could come into play.
Let me explain ... the value of a diamond should never be judged based on a laboratory certificate alone. Diamonds are far more intriguing and complex. While the laboratory and certificate details are considerations, they are secondary to the findings of a seasoned expert who only after thorough examination can pass judgment on brilliance and value.
The advice that I would give is to make sure that you work with an experienced professional who has access to finer diamonds and understands the relationship between quality and price. Let the expert narrow the selection down to no more than a few stones... then trust your instincts and make your choice.
