Los precios de los diamantes pueden variar enormemente según la forma del diamante., calidad de corte, claridad y color. Por ejemplo, El costo de un diamante de un quilate puede variar desde solo $1,500 a más de $16,000 para un corte extremadamente bien, diamante de alta calidad, mientras que un diamante de dos quilates podría costar tan solo $6,000 or as much as $80,000 based on its shape, cortar, clarity and color grades.
Como se puede ver, this is a huge range, with some diamonds costing as much as 10 times higher than other diamonds of the same carat weight.
Diamond prices depend on such a wide range of factors that’s very difficult to give an accurate price estimate for “diamonds” as a whole. The biggest of these are the four Cs, which we briefly mentioned earlier — cut quality, claridad, color and carat weight.
The better a diamond’s four Cs (o, in the case of carat weight, the higher) the more expensive it will be. En breve, the better a diamond’s quality, the more you’ll need to pay to purchase it.
Ahora, this doesn’t mean that you can’t get a good quality diamond without paying a fortune. With diamonds, the key is to maximize the amount you spend on the factors that affect the diamond’s appearance, all while minimizing the amount you spend on the factors that don’t.
We’ve covered this in more detail further down the page. For now, let’s start by looking at how a diamond’s price is calculated based on its carat weight, color, clarity and other factors.
