How Much Should a Diamond Cost?

Carat size, colour, clarity, quality of cut, and the difference between a round brilliant cut and fancy cut (all other shapes) are all factors in determining the price of a diamond.

But there are many other diamond buying facts to consider, when thinking about pricing:



How many times has the diamond been marked up or how many hands has it passed through?

At DiamondsWest, we deal directly with our suppliers. There are no “middle man” fees to pass on to our customers.

Was the diamond bought in a large shipment or was it bought individually?

Purchasing diamonds on an individual basis incurs several costs that could otherwise be dispersed between several diamonds. At DiamondsWest, we buy in bulk to minimize the impact of our purchasing costs on our customers.
