One of the first things you should figure out is how much you want to spend on the diamond. You should never go beyond your means. If you do, it will take most of the enjoyment out of the purchase. After all, to purchase a diamond is to purchase one of the rarest Gemstones on earth! Not only is it the rarest, it is still considered the most beautiful, because of it's brilliance! I always say, "I would rather sell you a fine quarter carat, than an inferior half carat! Always sacrifice size for brilliance. You will be happier in the end!
Some say that you should spend 2 to 3 months salary on your purchase of your diamond. You should also understand that some diamond shapes cost more than others. Certain stores charge more than other stores so be sure to find you a reputable independent jewelry store that is known to Wheel and deal, so to speak.
