  1. A 2 Carat Diamond Ring Sometimes a diamond dealer who needs the cash will liquidate a parcel of diamonds at or below his cost. However if you find a cheap 2 carat diamond, you would be wise to do some thorough investigating before Tiffany Necklace On Sale you buy it.

Fortunately, the 2.5 carat diamond ring mentioned above is shown in a photo that is about 10x magnification. You can gain a lot of information just by looking at the magnified photo of this 2.5 carat diamond. The diamond is full of Tiffany Necklace Sale white dots that are natural crystal inclusions, which you will not find in a C-Z or any other type of fake diamond.

If it was listed as a VS Clarity diamond, the price would simply be too good to be true. The wholesale cost on a 2 carat VS Clarity diamond would be about $12,000. The I2-I3 Clarity grade can be an acceptable trade-off for someone who wants to buy the largest diamond at the lowest cost. The trick is to find an I2-I3 Clarity diamond Tiffany Necklacewith the most "forgiving" type of flaws.
