Maximise your diamond
The 1 carat diamond is an aspirational symbol of success and achievement. Whilst 1 carat diamonds are all the same weight the visual appearance that different shapes have can be vary. For example a 1 carat oval shape that has been well cut will have a much larger spread when compared to a princess shape diamond with a thick girdle. If you’re looking for a 1 carat with maximum visual impact then a marquise shape could be the one for you.

How To Get Value
If you’re looking for a bit more value than buying a diamond just under the 1 carat mark offers a significant reduction in price but a very similar visual appearance. For example a well cut 0.9 carat round diamond is only 10% lighter than a 1 carat but costs around 30% less. This is primarily because 1 carat diamonds are in demand so expect to pay a premium for them.

Add a Halo
If you’re looking to maximise the visual impact of your 1 carat diamond then it may be worth considering a diamond halo ring style. The halo ring style can give a 1 carat diamond the appearance of a 2 carat, or even 3 carat diamond – so if you lady is a lover of bling then this diamond ring style could really work for you.
