A: Diamonds are priced using the 4c's: cut, color clarity and carat weight. Two 1 ct diamonds will have different prices because of the quality of the stone. One diamond might be a G, SI2 and the other diamond will be a higher price because it is an E, VS2. Each quality will affect the price of the diamond.
