In this video we will do a side by side Square
or Princess Cut diamond size comparison on
the finger or hand as well as give you different
price comparisons at each size.
All along giving you different tips and tricks
to help you save on diamond shopping.
Each Princess Cut Size in this video is compared
to this 1 Carat Diamond on a hand with a size
6 finger.
This 1 carat diamond at Kay Jewelers like
most Brick and Mortar jewelry stores is about
$16,200 and that is because it is very high
quality.
Now also in this video we take those diamonds
and compare them to the exact same quality
diamond from a website I will put in the description
below this video.
This 1 carat is $6,940 so you'd save over
$9,000 from my link below this video.
All the princess cut diamonds on the hands
in this video are all an ideal cut and very
high quality.
First lets start with a .25 or 1/4 carat square
diamond on the hand.
Compared to a 1 carat princess cut diamond
it is very unimpressive and normally people
don't go this low for a center stone diamond.
Its main appeal is that a diamond close to
this size is only $580 from the link I have
below this video.
You'd save almost $400 if you bought it there
instead of a brick and mortar store.
Next we look at a .33 or 1/3 carat princess
cut diamond.
Usually this is the lowest people go for a
center stone diamond.
Now just to teach you carat is actually just
the weight of the diamond so remember just
because it is a higher Carat doesn't necessarily
mean it visually looks bigger because carat
is just the weight.
Cut will decide if it is as big as it looks.
The price of this princess cut is $560 from
the link below yet from Kay it is $1,360.00
A .5 carat or 1/2 carat diamond is a more
common size of a diamond.
Now one of the up sides of Princess cut diamonds
is that they are generally less expensive
than Round Cut Diamonds.
The main reason for that is round cut does
tend to sparkle a tiny bit more.
Like here you'd save over $2,800 if you purchased
from the link below this video there instead
of Kay Jeweller.
A .75 or 3/4 carat princess diamond is starting
to get close to a 1 carat diamond.
If you stay below 1 carat that is good for
saving money on diamonds.
Even if it is .99 carat.
As soon as you hit 1 carat the cost jumps
disproportionately.
Kay Jewelers has this diamond at $6,700 but
only 3,530 from the link you can find below
the video.
One of the down sides of Princess Cut Diamonds
is that they sparkle less than round cut diamonds.
Since cut is mostly responsible for sparkle
it is especially important to check for the
princess cut grades.
One caveat though, Square diamonds do not
have an official cut grade.
One of the websites I recommend does give
an unofficial and accurate cut grade.
This is important because cut grade is how
much the diamond sparkles which is the number
two thing that makes a diamond impressive
besides its size.
However, one of the websites I recommend does
give an unofficial cut grade.
You'll have to watch my other videos if you
want to learn more about the cut grades and
that website is slightly less expensive as
well.
Here is a 1.25 or a 1 1/4 carat square diamond
on the finger.
This is where diamonds start really looking
big.
Now if you want more tips you have to watch
my other videos.
Like on of my videos lets you know about all
the rip offs and what to look out for when
shopping for diamonds.
I will link to that video at the end of this
video.
Now on this diamond you'd save almost $10000
buying it from the links below this video.
This is a 2 carat princess cut diamond on
the finger.
Now let me just clarify, in my opinion should
not go below an excellent or ideal cut grade.
Diamond stores can play with the cut to make
the carat look bigger without the actual size
of it being bigger and it also reduces sparkle
of the diamond.
That is why the diamond cut is so important.
So you would get ripped off twice if you bought
a diamond with a lower quality cut.
If you buy this diamond from one of the websites
below this video you are getting close to
$40,000 in savings and that is because it
is so high quality.
This is a 2 1/2 carat square diamond.
Its price is less expensive than the 2 carat
diamond we just looked at.
The savings come from lower clarity which
isn't even that bad of a clarity but you need
to know what to look out for if you are going
to buy a lower clarity diamond.
So you'll have to watch my other videos to
see clarity comparisons and how far down you
should go when considering a lower clarity.
Here is a 3 carat princess cut diamond on
the hand.
It is huge!
At this point if you buy this diamond you
are just plain showing off how much money
you have.
But if you got the money why not buy the diamond
that she will be wearing for the rest of her
life.
So in the comments, I will answer any of your
personal questions about diamonds you are
thinking about buying or doubts about what
you should do when you buy a diamond.
To make sure you get a good diamond that looks
its carat size check the GIA diamond certificate
for an excellent or ideal cut.
Lastly, we have a 4 carat princess cut diamond
on the finger, and it is almost 3/4 the width
of the actual finger.
Seriously this is just huge.
Once again you'd be saving close to $30,000
if you bought it from one of the links below
over buying from a Brick and Mortar Jewelry
store.
My biggest tip is to have your significant
other go diamond shopping at the mall with
you or her best friend.
Making note of the diamond specs that she
chose.
Then come buy the exact same quality diamond
from the link below this video and you'll
save a ton of money or you can spend the same
amount of money that you would have spent
on the other diamond and get an even bigger
diamond.
That will definitely impress her.
Then just take that diamond back to the diamond
store and have it set in their favorite band.
Or you can buy a similar ring from one of
those websites I have linked to.
If you decide to buy a diamond make sure you
come back to this video and click on that
