Correction! There are too many factors that determine the price of diamonds and a true jeweler should be able to tell you that. I have .87ct diamonds that look bigger and shine better than most of the 1.2ct diamonds in stock. Too many people think the more weight, the more expensive it should be. Correction!

We buy more than we can afford all the time, so general rules come up such as the 3 month salary rule or whatever. If a guy can spend $50,000 on a car, he should be able to spend $50,000 on a ring! Which begs the question, can he really spend $50,000 on a car? Hi Michael, I think it is, but that’s the problem.

For some, that will be a ring out of a cereal box packet, while for others (a small few) that will be a million dollar diamond ring.
