What matters more to you? Clarity or Carats?

Postby tepper420 on Wed Mar 26, 2008 2:09 pm

Would you rather have a huge diamond with some inclusions, or a smaller diamond that is flawless?

Bigger is better, but I'm very picky so I would go for flawless.

I would rather have something that is in the middle of both of them. Flawless carats are very hard to find, and most flaws are only noticeable from close up. But I wouldn't want one with any glaring marks.

I would like a small flawless diamond, since I am a perfectionist, and I expect the same out of my diamonds :lol: . But really, flawless all the way

If I only had to sacrafice a little bit of clarity I would be willing to go for carats, but I like to show off so thats a little biased :D

Carats (IMO), definitely.
Flawless carats, that is.

both! if you have a huge ring with flaws--tacky! if you have a tiny ring that is perfect--who will see it?

Carats for me the more there are the more it's worth for me.

It has to be a balance of both carat and clarity. A hight carat diamond with little clarity and a high clarity diamond having less carats is not worth much.

It's a mix between both clarity and carat. Without either of them, it is not worth much of what it should really be.
