Guides
Natural diamond prices track how rare that size and grade are from the mine.
A natural diamond takes geological time. Large crystals with high color and clarity are scarce, so price per carat climbs as carat weight climbs. A 2 carat natural stone is more than double a 1 carat stone of similar quality.


You are paying for origin as well as beauty. If the certificate and the mine origin are the point, natural is the category. If the look and the size are the point, compare the lab-grown page before you decide.
