When buying diamond jewelry or loose diamonds online, it is essential to compare diamond prices between different online suppliers in order to ensure that you have selected the best deal possible. It is important to understand that prices offered in exchange for a particular diamond can vary tremendously from one online supplier to the next. Therefore, knowing how and where to perform these helpful diamond price comparisons is crucial for a successful online purchase, and should be performed by anyone who wisely decides to buy diamonds online.

As a matter of fact, there are many websites that are solely dedicated to performing diamond price comparisons between gemstones offered by different online vendors. One such website is called the Diamond Price Guru. The most significant advantage of this website is the fact that it is completely objective, as it is not an affiliate of a particular diamond vendor and therefore does not have any bias opinions. This easily navigated website makes diamond price comparison extremely convenient and straight forward. The user simply needs to select the desired diamond attributes he/she is interested in and then click the "Go to Search Results" option. 

The first search field the user will have to provide is the actual diamond shape – 10 popular shapes to choose from, defaulted to the classy and popular round shape. The user will then need to provide search information for the rest of the fields which includes diamond carat, cut, color, and clarity. The good thing about this search engine is that it enables the user to select a range of attributes to choose from, as opposed to a specific and limiting single value. This will in turn provide the buyer with a much better scope of options to choose from. Once the user finished providing all the necessary search fields, he/she will be able to see the result page, which is extremely well organized and easy to follow. The "sort by" option is defaulted to "lowest price, largest carat and best cut", but it could easily be changed to "largest carat, best cut, lowest price", depending on the user's personal preferences. The results are viewed in a chart which includes six columns – the diamond carat, cut, color, clarity, who it is certified by, and most importantly – the actual store you could buy it from. This provides an excellent overview of thousands of diamonds that match your specific desired attributes, offered at hundreds of different online jewelry stores. The user can simply scroll down and effortlessly view all the different options. Hence, this website serves as a very good tool indeed.

Another excellent source of honest, good, and helpful comparative information is the Price Scope website. Similarly to Diamond Price Scope, this particular website is completely objective and reliable. However, it must be noted that Price Scope is somewhat less user-friendly and less easy to navigate than the first. Just as before, the user will need to enter the specific attributes of his desired diamond of choice. Price Scope has 14 diamond shapes to choose from, a slightly larger selection than Diamond Price Guru. After the user enters all the necessary range information which includes diamond carat, color, clarity, lab, depth and table, he/she then needs to click on the "Search" option. This will lead to the result page which can be sorted by any of the search fields entered beforehand, in addition to the price field itself. There is a direct link to each of the different online jewelry stores which provides the precise diamond described, so that the user can easily navigate to his source of choice. As opposed to Diamond Price Guru, which is not limited by the amount of results that match a user's search criteria, the search in Price Scope fails if the query is too broad, and the user will consequently be asked to narrow down his/her search options. However, all in all, Price Scope offers a very good comparison tool, comparing between hundreds of online diamond suppliers and providing a very good overview for the buyer.

Before deciding which diamond supplier to buy from, it is crucial to perform online diamond price comparisons. Due to the fact that there are websites completely dedicated to doing just that, potential diamond buyers have an excellent and convenient source of price orientated information. Buyers can easily view all the different options and follow the links to the actual diamond suppliers. The otherwise painstaking work of comparing diamond prices between hundreds of different online jewelry vendors has become much easier thanks to helpful websites such as Diamond Price Guru and Price Scope, which assemble all the necessary information in one, easy to handle chart.
