What happen to the smaller size diamonds?

Its slowly coming back. Anyway, a year ago I could search websites and find plenty of .5 carat and smaller diamonds in a wide range of qualities. For example (I got this from a post that dated back 10 months ago on a forum) "http://www.pricescope.com has a .41 ct., G, VS2 with a GIA report listed for $631. There are other stones in that price range too." Now I can do a search and get no or very few results. It's the same way with other popular online dealers. What am I missing? Where do I look? Thanks a bunch!

Jus10 Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 3/5/2003 Member Since: 12/19/2002	Thanks for the responses. I'm not shooting for big. I want a nice smaller size diamond. Around a .41 marquise. I'm sure I'll have the rest of my life to ponder a larger diamond, but right now its the thought behind it. Besides, she would probably kill me if she knew I spent a whole lot on a diamond for her. As of now I'm just looking for a loose diamond like mentioned above to put in a platinum setting (maybe with side stones, haven't looked into that yet). I would like to think I could do all that for around a thousand. I'm focusing more on how to do it... (her dream get away to the beach :-P) She would literally be thrilled with diamond dust in a setting as long as those 4 faithful words followed the unveiling of the ring. If you could point me in the right direction (to the diamond or advice on what to do I would be very greatful. Thanks again to those who replied and those who will.

jkruer01 Rough Rock Total Posts: 53 Last Post: 6/22/2008 Member Since: 12/10/2002	I found this diamond on Pricescope. It is from Whiteflash.com. http://www.whiteflash.com/acut/diamond_details.asp?ItemCode=321703 Marquise Carat .48 Color G Clarity SI1 If you mention Pricescope you can get it for $818. I have bought from Whiteflash.com and was very pleased. I think that part of your problem is that you are searching for a Marquise diamond. You might want to consider a round diamond. There are a lot more round diamonds to choose from and from what I have read they sparkle more than the fancy shape cuts.
