Unveiling the Secrets of Diamond Prices and Value

The value of a diamond is influenced by its rarity, which is determined by its size, quality, and cut. The higher the cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight, the rarer the diamond and the more valuable it becomes. Diamond prices increase exponentially with weight, and certain weight intervals, such as the 1ct or 2ct mark, can experience significant surges in diamond price points.

To evaluate the value of a diamond, it is crucial to understand the 4Cs and how each factor affects the price. Armed with this knowledge and the guidance of our expert team at Smith & Green, selecting a diamond can be a delightful and stress-free experience. Choosing a diamond is a lifelong investment that will bring happiness for years to come.
