Live Diamond Prices on site.

After some negotiation, I have managed to arrange with Zoara to host some some live diamond prices on the website.

These contain the essential information needed to asses a diamond price.

That is:

Shape Carat Cut Colour Clarity Depth Table Symmetry Polish Report Price

There are around 14 thousand diamonds of every shape and size, cut, clarity and so forth listed so you are sure you find the type of diamond you are looking for and can see the sort of price you would be expected to pay. These are good prices compared to many jewelers but I do encourage you to shop around of course, ensuring you are comparing apples with apples (or in this case diamonds with diamonds).

I am now working on upgrading the page to give such things as a choice in how many diamonds per page is shown and also selecting by category, such as size, cut, price etc.

Price of Diamonds


Diamonds have been a favorite of kings and queens for thousands of years. Once considerably rare now they are much more plentiful due to improved methods of sourcing and extraction.
The Price of Diamonds website is a comprehensive up to date information and news about all aspects of diamonds from technical information right through to how to clean your diamonds, where to buy them and what to look for in a diamond to even how to sell your diamonds. Much information can be found in All About Diamonds part one as well as parts two and three and they give a general grounding in diamonds, what they are and how to buy them.
The cost of buying diamonds can vary considerably.
Price of Diamonds
The price of diamonds, or Diamond Price, is dependent upon a number of factors. Desire, rarity and even careful clever advertising and promotion are obvious but for many people perhaps less well know are The 4 C's of Diamondshttp://priceofdiamonds.org/4cs.shtml. These give the most important factors about diamonds. These are the Cut, Color, Clarity and weight.
Diamond Cut
This describes the shape of the diamond. There are basically eight cuts of diamond. Round Brilliant Emerald Cut Princess Cut Heart Cut Oval Cut Marquise Cut Pear Cut Round Brilliant.
Diamond Color
The second is the Color. Color of diamonds are graded into 13 colors or tints.
Diamond Clarity
Clarity is the next method of grading diamonds and describes the quality of the diamond as regards any imperfections it may have.
Carat Weight
The last grading is carat weight. The Carat or Diamond Weight is perhaps the most important way of valuing them. Diamonds are weighed in carats and there is usually a relationship between the carat weight and the cut of a diamond.
Buy Loose Diamonds
Loose diamonds are probably the best ones to buy as you can easily ensure you are getting what you paid for. The best place to buy loose diamonds is featured in this section. Best Place to Buy Loose Diamonds and here describes the best way to Purchasing Loose Diamonds. Buying diamonds this way can save a lot of money.
Conflict Diamonds
Conflict diamonds are very much in the news and measures such as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme are now in place to ensure that future diamonds purchases are not conflict or blood diamonds.
One Carat Diamonds
Here we explain all about the one carat diamond, probably one of the most popular diamonds available. Also there is information about the one carat loose diamond which is likely to be the best way of buying a diamond.
DeBeers Diamonds
Just about everyone knows about DeBeers. This section explains who DeBeers is and how they came about. Plus it enlightens and dispels some myths about DeBeers as well.
Diamond Auctions
One of the best ways of buying diamonds is through an auction. But there are some important points to keep in mind when buying diamonds from an auction. Here we explain why
Black Diamonds
Black Diamonds are very rare and it takes a lot of effort to find them. But for some people it is well worth the effort. Information on theBlack Diamond Price is well worth having also.
Antique Diamond Ring
Auctions are a good place to buy antique diamond rings. You can get a good diamond price for some very valuable rings this way.
Diamond Substitutes
Diamond substitutes, such as cubic zirconia, are more affordable if the budget is an issue but you still want something nice and spectacular.
Cultured Diamonds
Cultured Diamonds, however, are entirely different. These are real diamonds grown in a laboratory under great pressure. The are expected to replace the expensive diamonds just as cultured pearls replaced the natural some years ago.

Diamond Insurance
It is very important to ensure, especially if you have a large and expensive diamond, that it is insured for its replacement value and not the market value. The difference can be enormous.
Diamond Appraisal
Some people ask, What is Diamond Appraisal?
Getting your diamond properly appraised is vital to ensure you know that you have purchased what you expected and paid for. There is a big section on Diamond Appraisal.
Cost of Wholesale Diamonds
One would expect the Price of Wholesale Diamonds to be a lot cheaper than retail. Well that depends on a number of factors and here you can find out what they are.
How to Sell Diamonds
Selling diamonds can be a bit of a shock for some people when they discover that they are not going to get what they expected. So knowing How to Sell Your Diamond and How do I Best Sell My Vintage Diamonds is important. Sometimes it is better to Sell Loose Diamonds than selling diamonds in their settings.

Very handy is the price chart of diamonds. Also charts to show the Proportions of Diamonds as well as the Carat Weight & Size Charts and the general Diamond Price Chart.
