Ok, did my research last night/day and this is what I gather so far.
it is not the size that counts the most it depends what each person is looking for
there are several categories to worry about
Carat weight, color, clarity, cut, Lab report
under each category there some more detail levels.
the color, clarity and carat weight are easier to study and understand but depending on the laboratory report and the gemologists option it could vary some.
The cut is what so far for me to understand. a good proportion diamond would allow the light to reflect and bring out the brilliance in the diamond. but what is consider the perfect proportion? is there a 'standard' % I could go by. sorry. I was very lost on the cut's proportions - depth, table, gridle, culet.
also, what shape of the diamond would bring out the most brilliance of light refelction? ... 9/5/05 - found the answer - ROUND Brilliant cut (Ideal)
