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.
