welcome to the channel my name is Osiris
I'm a GI a trained diamond expert and
I'm here to help you find the biggest
diamond for the smallest price these are
tips and tricks to find the perfect
engagement ring in today's marketplace
so it's no secret that I love online
diamond shopping there are some real
serious players I've been doing this for
over a decade I honestly find it the
best experience and honestly is the best
value and price you're paying 20 to 40%
lower than if you go to a department
store so right off the bat
I'm a huge fan of online purchasing I
come from the diamond industry the price
is locally today very hard to compete
with with online pricing so starting off
right there if you want to save money
online is the way to go and I'm gonna
teach you how to shop online today and
how to to filter through these websites
are really narrowed down specifically
the best diamond for the best price step
1 let's narrow down the shape and carat
of your ideal diamond let's pick a round
and a two carat stone as reference first
step I'm going to look for the cut grade
I want to excellent cut grade if I want
to start off that's the starting point
you always start from the top and you
work your way down do you find that
perfect variable that fits into your
budget next would be color with a round
diamond I always look for an H and I
color for me it's the perfect color at
the perfect price once you go higher
than H there's diminishing returns your
naked eye can is very hard to tell an H
from a G in fact a trained eye can not
tell an H from a G once it's mounted
very difficult very difficult so H an
eye is the sweet spot for value next we
look for clarity we're going to start
off at the SI one si one is the perfect
starting point for a budget stone
doesn't mean it's a low-quality stone si
one does not impact the beauty of the
stone as long as the center is clear of
black spots you are good to go and
you'll save money once all these four
have been picked we evaluate the price
if the price is outside your budget we
then start playing with different
variables we go from the bottom up we
start off on clarity now the least
important we go - si - at that point if
it is within your budget we're at a good
starting point we will then use this
look at these stones and make sure they
are I clean what is I clean me and the
scale of clarity it starts off in
flawless that's the top we have flawless
we have internally flawless
we have vvs1 vbs2
vs 1 vs to all those grades require a
microscope of 10 times to be able to
even see a spot on the diamond in the
real world use that's that's really not
usable no one's gonna see no one has
microscopic vision you will never see
that impacting the stone negatively si
one like I said is the value si 2 gets
tricky with a round saw of an excellent
cut as long as it's not in the center
and it's not dark the imperfection could
go unnoticed and you then save money
luckily we use online tools to clearly
see what we're purchasing big value here
when you go online you have 20 times
magnification on these new sites you see
exactly all the imperfections and you
know exactly what you're buying so once
you go si tu you evaluate the stones
worth and value if it's still outside
your budget you might have to go into je
territory now if a round diamond a je
color is still gorgeous if the cut is
excellent
if you still feel that it's way off on
budget two-carat might not be the size
for you these are the rules this applies
to a one carat stone a one and a half
carat stone you always start off at the
high point and you start changing these
little variables to narrow down that
window and make sure that stone fits in
your budget take a quick look here what
happens when we go from an SI to je
color to an SI one eye color this jumps
2000 to 2500 immediately showing that
each variable matters thanks for
