The feeling you get after getting ripped off sucks! It may happen when you are in a hurry to sell your bespoke jewelry for some reason. And this is why you need to learn how to calculate your valuable piece, so it never happens. A diamond price calculator may also apply to the prices of GIA certified diamonds. Please note that different agencies may have various grading standards.

There are many reasons why you would want to sell your precious diamond. But while at it, you want to fetch the best offer possible. But how do you do that? The first important thing is to find out the current price in the market. Although you won't get the actual price, it will help you calculate a fair price offer from a diamond dealer. That should be approximately 40 to 50 percent less of the current retail price. An online diamond calculator will guide you in getting the expected cost of your stone.

Get the final price of your diamond

One of the uses of a diamond calculator is to offer you the last price of your gem. You can also calculate the price per carat. Using the final cost of a diamond, then you divide it by the weight of the carat. Diamond dealers prefer to talk about the stone price in these terms. That's why their pricing is per carat.

Carat

It is the weight of a carat that determines the measurement of a diamond size. The average carat weight of a ring, such as an engagement's center stone, is 1.10 carats. One carat equals 0.2 grams. To calculate carats, you will first record the weight in grams and divide the number by 0.02. 

 Shape

A wide range of various diamond shapes includes oval, emerald, radiant, pear, marquise, heart shape, etc. You may want to choose your favorite stone-form here as you go for bespoke jewelry.

Color

Diamond color grading starts on a scale of D-Z. The lesser the diamond's color, the more its value. Anything from D to K is recommendable because they have no or lesser hue. The color grade of a diamond contributes to determining the price of a diamond.

Clarity

The clarity includes the number of inclusions and blemishes in a diamond. It will determine the clarity grading. Recommended stones by jewelers are FL-VS2. It contributes to deciding the value of the diamond, calculated with a diamond calculator.

Polish 

The diamond polish grading is from a scale of excellent to low-quality, depending on the level of imperfections left on it after the process of polishing.

Fluorescence 

Some diamonds exposed to UV light show fluorescent light. The magnitude of this glow is what gets measured by fluorescence grade. It would help if you considered either None, Medium, or Faint.

A good number of diamonds have impurities that give them a yellowish tint. Diamonds with the same clarity, cut, and carat can have a considerable difference in value based on color. An impeccable colorless diamond will be extremely rare and comes with a very high price. Your gem is ranked based on its color from D to Z, with D being without and Z having the most.

 In conclusion, all the 4Cs help to determine the price of a diamond using a diamond calculator. If the color and clarity are low, that will exponentially decrease the stone's value. That's why sometimes you find some significant difference in diamond pricing. If you find the deal too sweet, then the quality might be too low.
