Special Size Diamonds: Lauren B Diamond Education

Here is another informative video we created filled with engagement ring and diamond shopping tips. Getting value is key in any purchase you make and especially with something as expensive as a diamond.
When it comes to choose the perfect diamond the first thing that comes to a client's mind is carat weight. While many become overly concerned with the numbers themselves, we try to stress that you should always seek value. We all know about those juicy round numbers like 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 and so on, however, there are options in between these carat weights that we like to refer to as "OFF SIZES" (also known as special sizes). In this post we are going to talk about 1.70 carat range diamonds with high color/clarity grades across several shapes, and give you some insight into why these are such hot items.

1.70 CT ROUND G-VS2: This combination of color and clarity is ideal in many people's eyes however for those who want a 2 carat size they are going to be looking at a price tag of close to, or over, $20,000. Fear not, as you can opt for something along the lines of this beautiful 1.70 carat diamond which has diameter measurements of nearly 7.8mm
1.70 CT OVAL E-VS2: Oval diamonds, in particular, are in high demand so the asking price for this type of quality and a 2 carat size is going to throw a shock into many. Oval diamonds already have larger face up appearances than most other shapes, so sacrificing a bit on the size here to maintain a higher quality might be a great trade-off
1.70 CT PEAR D-VS2: The only thing better than "E" color is "D", and this diamond tops the charts for its color grade. What also make this special is the dimensions of 10.5mm length which will give you more finger coverage at this carat weight than most any other diamond cut.
1.74 CT CUSHION D-VS2: The beauty of this diamond also lies within its magnificent brilliant style faceting pattern which not only gives it a more crisp sparkle, but also adds more surface area to the stone for a larger face up look. Believe it or not, this cushion cut measures 7.6mm x 6.9mm which is what you normally would see for a 2 carat diamond no matter how it is cut.
