The Most Popular Misconceptions of Diamonds - Parts 4 and 5 of 6

4. The bigger the diamond the better.

Not necessarily. Large diamonds are initially impressive, and if the size of a diamond is what appeals to you or your loved one then you have made the right purchase. However, big diamonds do not always mean big price. Again, cut, clarity, color and carat must all be considered in deciding the diamond’s market worth.
