There are so many variables that influence the price of a ring. In short, the main factors are: The 4C’s- extremely important that you decide what is important to you and discuss with the consultant The quality, authenticity and ‘trust’ factor of the Certification (very important) Fluorescence The metal you choose Your finger size – the bigger the finger or wider the band the more metal required to make a ring The truth is a diamond ring can be manufactured for a variety of budgets. Depending on the colour, the clarity, cut and the size (carat) of your diamond – see 4C’s  here. In addition to the 4C’s, a very important and often overlooked factor is Certification. At Grace Diamonds we predominantly opt for either GIA or EGL certified diamonds. Other often ‘hidden’ factors to take into consideration would be the Fluorescence of a stone.

The 4Cs of diamonds are a set of criteria used to grade diamonds, and consist of Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat weight. Cut refers to the shape and proportions of the diamond, which can affect the diamond’s brightness and sparkle. Colour grades the degree of colourlessness in a diamond and is graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow). Clarity grades the number and size of inclusions present in the diamond, and is graded on a scale from Flawless to Included. Finally, Carat weight is the physical measure of a diamond, and is the standard unit of measurement for diamonds.
