Diamond Bracelet - Help me out, I know nothing about them

[slayer202]

Well this I am thinking about buying this for the woman. I know nothing about diamonds. Is this a nice bracelet/worth the price?

Not bad. I like the design and the use of black diamonds.

There's 15 diamonds there totalling 1 ct - meaning they're 15 diamonds about 6.5 points each, at $1 a point - that's $6.50 per diamond totalling $100, I wouldn't even look at the black diamonds as a source of value.

The color and clarity aren't that great either. But if you can get a hummer out of it for $300, more power to you.

Small diamonds are generally worth very little. I mean, very little. Jewelers wont bother pulling them out of scrap gold when melting them down little.

good stuff. however, this is my budget. I am only a college student Future value isn't really something I am looking for. Would you suggest looking somewhere else for something near the same price range?

Looks nice, but you check out the retailers at your local mall? Im sure they'd have some decent deals.

I guess shopping in a store would be better, but i'm sure much more expensive for the same stuff.

and PAB, I believe its 15 diamonds + the 18 black ones that total 1 carat? Im guessing they are gonna be tinnnyyyyy. I am having second thoughts

Actually,the page says:
Cut: Round
Clarity: I2
Color: I-J
Weight: 0.45 CTW
Quantity: 15

Cut: Round
Clarity: I2
Weight: 0.55 CTW Black
Quantity: 18


That means the WHITE diamonds (.45 carats) will be about 3 points (.03 carats) each, and the BLACK diamonds (.55 carats) will be ABOUT 3 points (.03 karats) each.
A 1 carat TDW bracelet for $299 isn't a bad price, but IMO, the stone quality could be better.

These stones have inclusions which range from eye visible to very easily seen to the naked eye.
