- Is 0.44 carat big enough for an engagement ring?
- At about 4.3 mm across, it reads as a small center stone. It works well in a halo or three-stone setting, or as a side stone. For a solitaire look, most shoppers go to 1 carat or more.
- Is D color and VVS1 clarity worth paying for at this size?
- At 0.44 carat, differences between D and F color or VVS1 and VS1 clarity are hard to see without a loupe. You can often save money by dropping to F color and VS1 clarity and putting the savings into a larger stone.
- Does this diamond have fluorescence?
- The spec sheet lists strong fluorescence, while the highlights do not mention it. Strong fluorescence can make a diamond look milky in some lighting. Ask for the IGI certificate number and check the fluorescence grade on it.
- Is it IGI or GIA certified, and how many carats is it?
- The highlights say IGI certified at 0.44 carat, but the spec sheet says GIA and 3.01 carat. Those cannot both be right. Get the certificate in writing before you pay.
- What comes in the box?
- The listing says the IGI certification for the diamond is included. A setting or ring is not included unless you order one separately from Diamaura.
- When is the best time to buy?
- Lab-grown diamond prices have been falling, so there is little reason to rush. Compare the certificate details against other 0.4 to 0.5 carat D or F stones before buying at $479.
