Is it necessary to have excellent polish and symmetry if you are going to spend the money on a very well cut diamond? If not, is there a minimum grade that should be accepted? I think that I read somewhere that this becomes more important for larger diamonds? I am looking to buy a diamond that is around 2 carats. Any comments would be appreciated!

Hi Tyson, Polish and symmetry are only two factors to consider when purchasing a diamond. Diamonds with good/good polish and symmetry can be very beautiful. Any thing above that is simply gravy and adds a prestige to the stone. This can be a very complexed issue because the merits of a diamond are literally found in a harmonious blend of the best possible characteristics. A beautiful diamonds appearance is not based on one factor, but a combination of several factors which determine its most desirable attributes. Buy Informed! Kirk

Thank you for the response Kirk. I plan to puchase a 2 ct. stone that is very well cut and I do not want to compromise the beauty of the cut of the stone with the polish or symmetry. I guess what I want to know is do I need to buy a diamond that is vg/vg or better to be safe? As long as the polish is not fair or poor does it matter? What does everybody think? Thanks!!! |

Hi Tyson, Perhaps this will help you further or even confuse you more. But the truth is that you can hypothetically purchase a diamond with a VG/VG polish and symmetry, but if the stone has lousy proportions, you could still end up with a poor light performance from the diamond. Kirk
