Diamond Prices
Prices for diamonds raise exponentially as the carat size and clarity level increases. It's because the
rarity of diamonds increase exponentially with better qualities and larger sizes.
Typically speaking, a 1/3 carat diamond with VSI1-VSI2 clarity and G-H color should cost around a
$600 to $800. If it's one carat large with the same color and clarity, then the price range will
dramatically increase to $3500 to $7000 depending on the cut and symmetry.
If you want to go crazy and get the biggest diamond on the market, keep in mind that a 5 carat
VS1-2 diamond with a G-J color will run between $50,000 to $60,000, which is equivalent to most people's
one year salary. Ouch!
