In this video we will do a side by side Oval Shaped diamond size comparison on the finger
or hand as well as give you different price comparisons at each cut size.
All along giving you different tips and tricks to help you save on diamond shopping.
Each Oval Cut Size in this video is compared to this 3/4 Carat Diamond on a hand with a
size 6 finger.
This .75 carat diamond at Kay Jewelers like most Brick and Mortar jewelry stores is about
$8,800 and that is because it is very high quality.
Now also on 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 � carat from that link is $3590 so you'd save over $5200 from my link below this
video.
Lets Start with a .25 or � Carat Oval Diamond on the finger.
Most diamond stores don't even sell diamonds this small and most people don't use a diamond
this small as a center stone.
This is a .33 or 1/3 carat oval engagement ring on the hand.
Compared to a .75 carat oval shaped diamond it is very unimpressive and you can barely
tell it is even a oval shape at this point.
Oval diamonds can have a longer more slender ratio or a wider ratio.
This .5 carat or 1/2 carat diamond is a more common size of an oval diamond.
Now, one of the up sides of oval diamonds is that they are generally less expensive
than equal carats of Round Cut Diamonds.
This is because round cut does tend to sparkle a tiny bit more than oval shaped diamonds.
You'd save over $3,500 buying the diamond from my link below
This is a .66 or 2/3 carat oval shaped Diamond on the finger.
Now if you buy a oval diamond with a longer ratio the carat does tend to increase more
slowly which means it costs less for you.
For example the .5 carat diamond we looked at was about 6 by 4 millimeters when you increase
the width 1 millimeter the carat jumps about .16 carats to .66 carats overall.
Then if you increase that diamond in length 1 millimeter as you can see the diamond only
jumps about .09 carats To .75.
Since carat is the main reason for pricing a diamond a longer diamond tends to save a
little bit of money if all other specs are equal.
Now we jump to a 1.25 carat oval diamond on the finger.
The big issue with special cuts like this is that they don't get official cut grades.
Cut grade is important to know because it tells you the most about how much the diamond
sparkles and if the diamond looks as big as the carat suggests.
Watch my other diamond videos for more on this.
This is a 1.8 carat oval shaped diamond on the finger.
Now as a note, If you don't have an excellent Cut Grade that is bad because diamond companies
can play with the cut angles so the diamond isn't as big as the diamond suggests which
also negatively affects how much the diamond sparkles.
So you want an excellent cut grade.
You'd save over $10,000 buying this diamond from the link below over a Helzberg diamond.
Because oval shaped Diamonds tend to sparkle less than round cut diamonds having a great
cut is important to make sure the diamond sparkles at its peak.
If that is important to you I will also link to a diamond website that gives an unofficial
diamond cut grade as well.
Because if you get a bad cut you could get more shadows in the middle of the diamond
that take away from the sparkle as I said.
I find the cut grade from that website to be pretty accurate too.
I will post that website below as well.
Now we jump to a 2 � carat oval shaped diamond on the hand.
Some positive side notes about Oval diamonds is that they tend to elongate the look of
the hand and are the shape that is closest to round shaped diamonds.
All brick and mortar jewelry stores sell diamonds at an inflated rate.
It costs money to pay for their rent and their salespeople which all inflate the cost of
your diamond.
My biggest tip when buying a diamond is to have your significant other go diamond shopping
at the mall with you or her best friend.
Then make note of the diamond specs that she chose.
After come back and 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 at the other diamond store 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 and less expensive band from one of those websites I have linked
to below.
Like this 3.9 carat oval shaped diamond on the hand you'd save $43,500 buying it from
that link.
