How to choose a good-value round diamond
Compare the report, actual appearance and price together. We assess sourced stones as well as the diamonds on our own bench, and explain the trade-offs before you choose. For a round brilliant, compare cut quality and light return alongside colour, clarity and carat weight.
That is why the search marks stones we would not recommend, and offers you better ones at the same spec. We would rather lose a sale than sell you a stone we would not buy ourselves.
