I have a piece of string.
How long is it?

Understood..

So what questions should I ask over the phone when I am buying a diamond besides the Cut/Clarity/Color?

What are good or bad signs of a diamond?

Do some price searches on the front page - and include one by diamonds with known cut quality.

Then decide if you want to buy a drop shipped diamond or one that someone has to show you etc
