ダイヤモンドの価格はダイヤモンドの形状によって大きく異なります, カット品質, 透明度と色. 例えば, 1カラットのダイヤモンドの価格は、 $1,500 以上に $16,000 非常に優れたカットのために, 高品質のダイヤモンド, 一方、2カラットのダイヤモンドの価格は次のとおりです。 $6,000 or as much as $80,000 based on its shape, カット, clarity and color grades.
ご覧のように, 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, 明確さ, color and carat weight.
The better a diamond’s four Cs (または, in the case of carat weight, 高いほど) the more expensive it will be. 要するに, the better a diamond’s quality, the more you’ll need to pay to purchase it.
今, 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.
