Did you get raped by some mall jewelry store?

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not that dumb. It's 1K, G-IF (flawless).

You probably are. You paid in the hundreds, probably in the thousands, for a chunk of carbon with a real market value of few tens of dollars, at most.

Just quickly checking online, a 1 carat G IF diamond costs between $8,500 to $10,500, depending on the quality of the cut.

That is for the stone by itself, The setting like the one he bought could add thousands to the price tag.

They still aren't the easiest things to find because of course the market wants to keep cheap diamond out, and even manufacturers would prefer to charge a huge markup if they can have their way, but market competition will ensure D-diamonds under 100 dollars. I found 1 carat Gs, machine cut for 80 dollars. I don't recall where only because I don't care for diamonds, but it's not hard with a bit of effort. As for 'setting', this is a euphemism for casting and placement that makes it sound to the consumer it's worth thousands of dollars.

Actually, if it were me, I'd likely go with nexus zirconium. Even an IF diamond will pale in comparison to it's spectral properties.

Unless you paid $1k (in which case you are missing the $) the popular belief might not far from the truth.

Karat == measure of purity.

Carat == measurement of mass (typically gemstone)

1K is junk metal

1C is a fairly large gemstone

Oh and IF does not mean flawless. It means internally flawless. The stone can still have external blemishes.

Finally... size/color/clarity all play second fiddle to cut. A poorly cut 2C stone can look smaller than a hearts and arrows 1C stone.

Either way congrats and remember to insure it (I recommend Chubb Insurance, cash value payout ftw).

It may be the angle of the picture, but doesn't it look pretty cloudy for a IF?

Binister, you're a comedian right? But yeah, a bit of googling will tell you that FL and IF are in the flawless classification (IF = internal flawless... imagine that ) and I can't find any flaws externally with a microscope, good enough for me. It's certified as IF, bite me. And in case you're wondering how much I paid for it? About $5 (that's five dollars) at Wal-Mart, financed.

And you dont think Walmart will eventually want their money?

LOL, give it a rest man, there is no funk. A real bandwagoneer will accept defeat and move on, preparing for next a more optimistic season.

Maybe it's part of Walmart's evolution into a store that sells everything consumers could possibly buy?
