This is a difficult, multi-dimensional question that is dependant on multiple factors. For starters, if you are planning on buying a larger diamond or are trying to find a diamond of fine quality, shopping at a large retail chain might not be the answer. Large companies tend to carry lower quality diamonds in regards to color and clarity. If you are looking for a modest ring and are not looking for a large, prominent stone, then you may be able to find a resonable ring at a large store. The only way to know for sure if you are getting a reasonable deal on the ring you purchase is doing research on the rates of diamonds in the range you want. Remember, all 4 factors( Carat weight, color, clarity, and quaility of cut) will affect the price. Though research and scoping out multiple stores, you can figure out which is the nicest diamond you can get within your budget. Bottom line, if you are looking for a high quality, larger diamond( 0.5 carat and up), I recommend stearing clear from stores like Kays and Zales. Go to a local diamond wholesale jeweler or an independantly owned jeweler. They not only will have actual knowlege of precious gems(as oppose to the people at most large jewelry stores who probably make 10 bucks an hour to sell as much as they can) but can make a ring designed by you and within the specific qualities you are looking for. You get what you pay for, this is true. But your money goes further when you are not paying extra for large jewelry companies tv advertisements.

This may seem like a tough question, but it can be answered by using one thing: a GIA Diamond Grading Report. The GIA Diamond Grading Report was created in the interest of the consumer, as an unbiased, astute, accurate and scientific evaluation of diamonds based on the 4Cs. I got the GIA Diamond Grading Report when I bought my diamond for my girlfriend, in order to know exactly what I was paying for when it came to quality and authenticity. I suggest you do the same.

I knew I could trust GIA because they are an independent, nonprofit organization that is recognized as the ultimate authority on gemology by the jewelry industry and the US government. They created the 4Cs!

Just check out the website and you'll see why I am a huge fan of GIA.

I bought my ring at Blue Nile and it was accompanied with a GIA certificate. As mentioned above the 4 C's are very important. I went for a quality diamond instead of a large diamond and I am so glad I did. The brilliance and sparkle is very obvious.

I was so impressed with Blue Nile that I made a webite with my story and also share some information about the 4 C's

If you are concerned about the price you paid for the diamond, use this free diamond price quote.  Input the information on the diamond, and you will be sent a price you could pay for the identical diamond.  Its great for double checking a past or planned purchase.  You could also search for a diamond, and find a range of matching diamonds to get a sense of how yours compares.

If you question is more general, read about the 4 C's of diamonds to learn more.  Pricing information is sprinkled throughout the pages.

Finally, please feel free to contact me, even if you already have a diamond but just want some confirmation of its value.  I would be happy to help.

There can be many ways to determine if your diamond is worth the money. You can always take it to a place that buys jewelry and ask them. They base it off of the weight most of the time. I just recently sold some Rolex Watches there, and I know that I got my money's worth. I'm sure there are many other ways of doing it, but that's the main way that I do it.

 
The only way to analyze the diamond quality is with 4C - cut, color,clarity and carat.  I believe you must have received  GIA or EGL certificate, you can used this certificate to compare the grade. Since, the pricing is based on four c's so, it would help you to specify the diamond quality and value to your investment.
 
I hope it may help you.
