The difference in price between each class could be a couple hundred dollars to a few thousand, depending on the carat size. This is the actual weight of a diamond. Many people confuse this with size. For example, if we compare 3 diamonds weighing one carat each, they may all have different diameters across the top. Even though one may look bigger than the other two, it might not be well cut, and therefore may not sparkle as much as one that is well cut.
Many stores offer payment plans with no interest for three months to one year on approved credit.
Others may offer a layaway plan, whereby the ring is kept by the store until the full payment is made. Because the ring will be one of your first large purchases, check out credit card companies that offer rewards by using their card. You will be amazed at how quickly you will qualify for miles or gifts. If you would like to use cash, the best way is to obtain a certified cheque or a draft from your bank for the total amount. This will bypass any difficulties that may arise with a personal cheque.
