The slim and rectangular diamond shape usually comes as a side diamond next to the center diamond. It complements the ring and it gives it richness.

The clarity of the diamond:

The clarity of the diamond is something crucial you should know about when purchasing a diamond ring. The clarity of the diamond depends on something called inclusions, which can look like inner clouds, feathers, knots or cavities. And another thing called blemishes, which are scratches, pits, chips, or breaks. All these elements affect the quality of the diamond thus the price too.

The color of the diamond:

The most expensive diamonds you’ll find come in blue, pink and yellow. But white diamonds are tricky, a yellow tint in a white diamond is not a good thing, it will instantly lower its price and it will show that it’s not in great value.

The carats of the diamond:

A diamond carat (CT) is the weight of a diamond. One CT is translated into 200 milligrams.
