Best is always relative. By 'good diamond' one can assume that you are interested in an investment-grade stone. You are well advised to buy the 'best diamond' you can afford, given these variables:

  • Diamonds larger than one carat tend to hold their value better than smaller stones.
  • The lower the alphabetic designation on the colourscale, the more valuable the stone, if it is a colourless diamond. (Coloured diamonds also have a value scale, with Intense Fancy being the most expensive colour.)
  • The top clarity grade is F -- flawless, or IF -- internally flawless. Lesser clarity grades are less expensive.
  • All else being equal, a heavier stone with top clarity and top colour, which is best displayed in the cut of the stone, will generally be a better investment.

Verify that any diamond you purchase given these variables has been certified as such by a certified gemologist.

Larger diamonds are generally more expensive, but not all larger diamonds are good investments.
