It really depends on the cut, clarity, color and carat weight of the diamond. Some colored diamonds maybe more expensive based on the above factors and some colorless diamonds maybe cheaper based on the same factors. Where the diamonds are sourced from and whether they are certified also has an impact on the cost.
