Why this price
A diamond's price comes from four things at once. Here is what each of them means for this particular stone.
- Carat0.5 ct
- Under one carat. Price per carat rises with size, so smaller stones are the most affordable way into a certified diamond.
- ColourK
- A visible warm tint. Some buyers seek it deliberately, especially in yellow gold, where it reads as character rather than as a flaw.
- ClaritySI1
- Inclusions are easy to find under magnification and usually invisible without it. This is where most of the value for money sits.
- Cut—
- The report does not grade the cut — normal for fancy shapes, where proportions are judged individually.
The crossed-out figure is the Rapaport list reference — the wholesale price guide the trade quotes against. It is a benchmark, not a price this stone was offered at anywhere.

Cut 18% narrower across than usual for this weight — more of the weight sits below the setting.
Both rules are in millimetres, marked every 1 mm with a longer line every 5 mm. Proportions are exact; screens differ in size, so this is not life-size.
Diagram, not a photograph. Diameter, depth and table come from the report; crown and pavilion are drawn to typical proportions for the cut.
The same kind of money, a different trade-off. Each of these argues one thing against the stone you are looking at.
