A diamond weighing below another of a certain carat point will be almost as big the latter stone. This applies to a 1.50-carat diamond as well. It is a great value purchase if you are seeking a little bit bigger diamond. The stone looks virtually as big as another one weighing 2.0 carats, and you can get it for a fraction of the latter’s price.
A 1.5 ct diamond is sufficiently large to be appealing, yet it is not that large that it gets too much attention than one would like. Several girls feel that it is the ideal size for them. It will appear much bigger than 1.5 carats on tinier fingers. With a diameter of 7.4 millimeters, a round cut 1.5 ct diamond is much bigger compared to another one weighing 1 carat. The area of its upper surface, which you view with the diamond put face-up, is only 18% smaller compared to the 2 carats rock.
This makes it an excellent option for those who want a value for money product. The size is a matter of shape too. Some diamond cut shapes appear much bigger than others of comparable weight. Asscher and round cuts often appear the smallest, whereas elongated shapes such as pear, marquise, emerald and oval look bigger.
Recommendations for the Diamond Engagement Ring
The 1.5 carat stone will look good in various engagement ring settings. Choosing a solitaire for your fiancée’s ring will keep much of the attention on her central stone. If she prefers a flashier style, it will look good with a diamond halo setting as well.
For princess and cushion shapes, choose H color grade and VS2 clarity grade if she wants a diamond without visible flaws. A diamond with that clarity grade has inclusions, but these will not be visible to the unaided eye. If you have a smaller budget, then think about lowering clarity grade to SI1 and color grade to I.
For marquise, pear and oval shapes have elongated edges that hold more light (color) within. So, consider choosing a color grade under H for a good-looking diamond.
The table size of Asscher and emerald shapes enables you to look deeper into the stone. So any color or internal imperfections are easily noticeable. So go for VS1 clarity and H color grades. Select a much warmer-hued rock to complement a rose gold or yellow gold band. You may click this link to know more.
Objectively speaking, and G color SI1 clarity that is an ideal cut with a pleasantly laid out inclusion will be a prettier diamond than a G color VS2 clarity with an average cut. And a G SI1 super-ideal stone (like a Brian Gavin Signature stone ) will be all the more beautiful. If we continue with this case, lets say for a 1 ct diamond, a G SI1 that was an ideal cut (and everything else was fine), the price would be approximately 25 back, or $6100*0.75 = $4575 per carat. But a G VS2 with an average cut might go for 35 back, or $7200*0.65 = $4680.
