The above price list is only a guideline. All prices are per carat in US dollars and may vary with market fluctuation and availability. GIA certificates are available at an additional charge. We are not responsible for typographical errors.
• Look up the price per carat for the color and clarity you would like.


G SI1, 1.50 - 1.99 ct. is $11,925 per carat.

• Multiply the total carat weight by the price per carat 1.75 x $11,925 = $20,868.75

• Due to a premium on specific sizes, you must check the notation directly above the chart. On this specific chart it states that for 1.70-1.80 ct. tw. you must add approximately 5% to the price of the diamond. Therefore add 5% to the total price of the diamond: $20,868.75 x 1.05 = $21,912

This is the approximate price for a 1.75 G SI1 Round Brilliant Cut diamond. The price will be slightly higher for well cut diamonds, and lower for poorly cut diamonds. The same steps should be used to determine the price for any other diamond. A premium is added for matched pairs.
