How do I select a diamond?

When shopping for diamond jewelry, you'll want to look for the four C's: cut, carat weight, color, and clarity. Many online jewelry sites offer ratings from various gemological institutes to help you quantify these characteristics. Diamonds with higher carat weights, less color, and more clarity tend to be of higher quality and thus more expensive.

Is it cheaper to buy jewelry online?

The problem with purchasing jewelry at a brick-and-mortar jeweler is that the competition is not as fierce as it is online. Online jewelers know that you are just a few clicks away from shopping on a competitor's site, so there is a bigger incentive to keep prices low.
