As you probably know prices of diamonds can vary greatly, you can purchase one-carat diamond for as little as R10000 and as much as R200000. This is because of diamonds’ extensive number of possible characteristics and their combinations. Table below is designed to give you an idea of what you can expect to pay for the same carat weight diamond but of different grade. These are estimated retail prices, which are most likely to be asked by your local jeweller and jewellery chain stores.
