Wow. Where to start with Osiris. This dude is a serious GODSEND. I went to a physical store to look at diamonds. I had 0 idea what clarity, color, or anything was. I felt at the store I was being "sold" and did not like that feeling at all. After watching his videos I learned a ton, ordered my ring online, saved a bunch of money (seriously thousands) and got an overall better ring. Do yourself a favor and listen to whatever this guy says. He is spot on with the color, clarity, cut, everything. I personally ordered from Rare Carat as I found the search filters and criteria matched more compared to the other online stores. Osiris, you are the man. Thank you for everything.
I LOVE Rare Carat! ❤ for the same reasons. I knew not only the shape I wanted, but I learned all about what kind of dimensions I should be looking at. The top(called table) the flat spot on the top, should be under 70% and what not. Plus ideal cut and D E F clarity. Diamonds under a carat you can have SI. Slight inclusion- and it shouldn’t hurt the brilliance - depending on where the inclusion is.. and so on. VVSI of course is better. And IF the best. But good to know these things - to save money where we can without sacrificing brilliance Rare carat was super awesome to work with they helped me customize a ring I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Osiris is a really a kind hearted and helpful guy, he spent time helping me out with my questions with no expectations in return, that is not common at all in the modern age.
First time I ever heard the tip about the careful matching of stone color to the precious metal setting. So obvious and yet something I had completely overlooked! Thanks
You are the best at explaining prices versus color and clarity which are crucial to the purchasing of a diamond saving us cash in the long run. Love your videos.
2 things you can see across the room size and color. No or low fluorescence is optimal! It does effect beauty! I’m a graduate gemologist and I would not buy a diamond unseen. When you buy online you can buy the dogs the jewelers don’t want.
Always giving the best diamond buying advice on YT ! Osiris saved me thousands on my princess cut 1.7ct VS1 I color diamond with medium fluorescence. Don’t be afraid of fluorescence, it can save you $$ but also makes your 💎unique.
My local jeweler gave exactly the same advice to help us stick to our 4000 euro budget, ended up getting a 0.96 carat , color K, clarity SI1 and faint fluorescence to compensate for the faint color. On a 18k yellow gild band. This saved us so much and allowed me to get carat size i wanted because i didnt want a lab . This video helped me confirm what our jeweler said and make the choice. Thank you!!
I recommend this to anyone else who is on a budget, especially if u go right under a carat ( the difference is literally not visible to the naked eye ), once a stone hits a carat the price jumps so fast!
Hey Osiris. I basically agree with everything that you have said . Years ago, when I was on a much tighter budget, I bought a smaller diamond that was "i' color. No one really noticed anything negative about it. To the contrary, the gem received many compliments. I myself noticed the difference when side by side against other rings with better diamonds. But again, as long we weren't sitting it against someone else's diamond, no one cared. Here it is years later and I have a better budget and decided to spring for a larger diamond, "e" color. Yes, for me personally, it is worth the additional expense. When side by side the "i" diamond, yes you can tell the difference. But the reality is that sometimes in life you can't "have it all" and have to make some trade offs. Having said all that, I definitely agree with all your recommendations Bro. Thank you.
Thanks Vfizz, I appreciate that. Correct, until you put another higher color right next to it is when you see the color difference. Before that you never saw an issue. Nothing wrong with upgrading. Congrats to you!
Interesting. I was told not to go Yellow Gold? I wanted yellow all my jewelry is yellow. Argh! Why didn’t I see this video earlier! VSI color F, 4 carat. Yellow is ok? Thank you!
Yellow gold is a preference as all jewelry should be. If you love yellow gold, might as well get a lower color diamond and go larger carat. Yellow color swill be introduced into the diamond by reflection so why not get a larger diamond for same price.
very good tips. For Online purchase, how about finger/ring size, if i buy online and the ring appears to be troo small or too big for the lady, whats my move there to fix this ?
Wait so you said that if I buy a slightly lower grade diamond I'll have extra money to buy more and bigger carrots, but if I eat those carrots and my eyesight gets better will I be able to see the flaws in the diamond and then I'll have to buy a new one later anyway?
Great tip about not buying a flawless diamond to top a gold band. My lady loves gold and I was wondering if that mattered. Now I can probably start looking at bigger stones. Thanks!
Such a great video . Thank you for your knowledge . Do you know anything about Costco diamonds . I noticed all the diamonds there were VVS2 S1 I ..what are your thoughts?
Can you recommend few online sites you trust. If you can’t I understand. Also how does it get delivered to the house. Doubt they just leave a 20-30k diamond by the door.
All these tips are helpful! I already bought my ring and already knew about diamonds but will be sending this to my cousin who plans to propose this year.
@@OsirisDiamonds yes it’s actually for my daughter but she isn’t confident about buying diamonds. I am doing the research for her and really find your videos very informative. She doesn’t want a round diamond but likes the pear, oval and marquise-all prone to the bow tie effect. The mental she wants in platinum and the trilogy setting. She doesn’t want a big bling ring just quite plain and classy. Thank you for getting back to me. Lena
I loved your video, thank you for going into the colours and metal setting! I am looking for a centre diamond in a champagne C2 colour, but without the "fancy" colour price tag. Our jeweller was able to source a 1ct, VS2, excellent diamond Q-R colour, but I am worried that there might not be enough contrast between the centre and accent stones and it might look odd. I am also having some difficulty deciding between 9ct and 18ct gold... which is going to suit the stones better and bring out the colour of the centre stone more?
After watching your video, I am looking for a ring in a medium florescence. I’m also looking at purchasing from James Allen. How am I able to tell if the ring I am picking out is hazy or oily with online shopping?
Thanks for the comment. Medium Flour will not cause haziness. Very strong Flour affects higher color diamonds like a D color and only in an extremely small percentage of cases. You are pretty much safe with a medium grade.
There are many established companies. In my website I have my preferred vendors. I have shown videos where I buy with my own money, review them and send it back. No questions asked. Www.diamondcityonline.com is my website. Tons of articles to help you find the one.
Hello I was just wondering about Ritani lab grown diamonds and how they rate as buying online? Or is James Allen & blue Nile better? Your videos are fantastic I have learned a lot from them. Thank you. 😊💎
Do I need a higher end diamond if I choose a tension style ring setting? Suggestions on the quality of diamond. I’m looking to purchase a 1 carat oval diamond.
You are safe with a si1 and above. Only if a diamond has an inclusion on the very corner of the diamond is the only reason to be concerned. A flaw near the center has nothing to do with issues on a tension style ring.
Hi Osiris! I’m 68 years old, the first time in my life, I like to buy diamonds ring for my self, my English not too good, but I try to find some one to help me find the best price and the best ring for me, can you help me , I love the diamonds with 2 carats, not too high, not too low , if I need money I can resell them , thanks

1000% go with a J color. I would argue, depending how big the diamond is, a K color round can maybe work too. Dont pay to much attention to the smaller diamond color and trying to "match them"
@@ismaelzermenojr8094 Yes I will be attempting to update tomorrow. As you can imagine its a long process and vaction has back logged me. Will be on it so stay tuned.
Always great advice 👍 However, to buy online???? No for me. Old school or not, for the big amount I’m spending, love to see it, feel it & to meet the reputable diamond dealer. 😝✅🇨🇦
I compared 3 sites. James Allen (JA), Blue Nile (BN), and Diamonds Direct (DD). 1 carat diamond only, no setting. SI1 clarity. J color. Cut/polish/symmetry, excellent. JA...$2920. BN...$3434, marked down from $6064. DD...$4868. All have return policies. To me a "reputable diamond dealer" is the same as a "reputable car dealer." I am a single dad, widower. And I will be prepared to buy when she comes along. Have you watched all of Osiris' videos? They are well worth your time. Good luck to you. Just my 2 cents!
@@NoName-ll1ti oh yes I watched all his videos and amazing advice. Got my almond 2 carats , round brilliant cut (GS1) ok price from private dealer & im happy. Shopping for 3 Carats round to replace the old one much better higher quality soon. That’s why I’m watching & comparing. But , I’m retired, single & old school when it comes to this category. It’s just my humble way of shopping. Seldom shop online even clothes. But thanks for your advice too. All the best. 👍🇨🇦🙏
I think you should really consider online with James Allen. Most people are fearful but you get more bang for your buck and honestly most people are glad they did it online instead of the retail store. No one ever regret their decision. And you can return It for a full refund so you have nothing to lose. I get it, I can’t imagine purchasing something that will be priced so high. But this is one time where I think an online wholesaler is better than a store front retailer. Remember their job is to sell first. With online, you do your research and then make an informed decision online and get more for your money. Just my opinion. Good luck on your purchase though, whichever way you decide.
Hi, love your videos, I'm looking to buy an oval style diamond from James allen what would you recommend, I don't want to spend over 4k but are there any options on getting a bigger size as well as a decent color and clarity or what would you recommend.
Thanks for showing some love to my vids. If you want a larger look, stick to a 1.40-1.50 length to width ratio, Si1 and I-H color. Here is a link with all my fav settings. When searching avoid a heavy bowtie - www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?Color=I,H,G,F,E,D&Shape=oval-cut&Polish=EX,VG&Symmetry=EX,VG&Lab=GIA,AGS&Flour=None,Faint,Medium&DepthTo=63&TableTo=62?a_aid=5a73fd85d5e0d I hope this helps.

Hey Osiris, I live in Canada should I consider buying diamonds from American sites? Is there a reputable Canadian site, I’m 27 looking to buy an engagement ring to surprise the love of my life! Thank you sir!
Hi KF, Blue Nile and James Allen ship to Canada overnight so I see no issues you considering them. I would say use the most trusted sources. I dont know of a specific website that is only Canadian so my apologies if I dont have a good answer.
Hey Osiris, thanks for you helpful vids. As a manufacturing jeweller I'm confused how a similar spec diamond on James Allen is less than our B2B diamond database or our local diamond wholesaler?
Hi Jesse, its wild isn't it. When I was selling a long time ago, I found that very frustrating. Sometimes, online has wholesale pricing. Other times you can get a bigger discount in wholesale.
@@OsirisDiamonds Hi Osiris, thank you kindly for your reply. When we have purchased stones online before and created a piece of jewellery and then sent it for evaluation. The valuer did not mark the stone up as much because he says it was purchased retail and not wholesale.
Hi Andrew, It will for sure look warm. But 18kt has a deep gold color so I think its worth a shot. Its gonna match nicely. If you find an I color thats close in price consider it.
i am trying to buy a tenzanite diamond ring which has "American International Gemologists" pre-sale certificate. Should i trust this certificate ? If possible please do a VLOG on various companies offer these diamond certifications. Besides GIA which one whould be truet?
Hi Teresa, Love Emeralds, for sure you need a high color- G color minimum and a vs1. Maybe you find a good vs2 but emeralds show their faults easily. Here is an article for Bluenile where I have some table and depth percentages for emerald there www.diamondcityonline.com/tips-for-using-blueniles-website/
Hi please help! i am wondering my sister just got 3.60gr diamond ring, i google it, it says around 18karat/ carat? And price around $4.000 australian dollar and i went to jewelry shop yesterday and i like one of the ring, cost $4.500 aus dollar, but it says 0.95 Carat TW Of Diamonds In 14kt White Gold, not even 18ct, so i mean why are they different? Means 0.95 is not good ? But why more expensive than 3.60gr ? Thank you.
I need help to buy diamonds for ears which are 3 on each side so six diamonds fro .05 from next smaller then 3 diamond smallest of all to go on top of ear . Can u please help me how much it will cost me where can I get them on line
Hi, Yes I do. I am currently backed up with email due to a vacation but trying to catch up. I like Blue Nile and Brian Gavin as well. I search others too but often find the pricing is higher. So I focus on the best value.
Hey! Was looking at getting a round diamond on a yellow gold band. Was looking for an F color but then heard you say not to waste a D color on gold! Can you please expand a little? I have quite a good eye and I’m afraid the K color will look too yellow?!
Hi Jessica, Yes of course. When you have a yellow gold ring, it will introduce color into a diamond. So once you mount a D color, it will have a warm tone present due to the light reflecting off the yellow gold back into the diamond. Its a waste of money in my opinion. K-J color will be amazing for you with the added benefit of a bigger carat size.
Hermano, Thank you for the tips... Need your help... would you recommend me buying a ring my buddy is selling me for $8,500 . 2.1 CT Color is K with SI1 in clarity. Please need your advise.
Glad I was helpful. Buying from a buddy is tough. You dont know if buddy bought correctly and if the diamond has a great cut. I will say Price is very fair.
Any information on Radiants? 2 ct elongated should be at what depth not to look shallow? Also, does the thickness of girdle affect the diamond? Thank you
Hello, here are my favorite settings for radiants www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?Cut=Very+Good,Ideal,TrueHearts&Shape=radiant-cut&Polish=EX,VG&Symmetry=EX,VG&Lab=GIA,AGS&DepthFrom=62&DepthTo=70&TableFrom=62&TableTo=70?a_aid=5a73fd85d5e0d. You want to be in the 1.20 to 1.30 length to width ratio. I will say its subjective and some like the longer length to width ratios. Girdle is an aspect but is low in the list. If everything else checks the boxes and the girdle is a little hick, it doesn't mean the diamond will lack brilliance. It's more of a center mass issue rather than a light issue.
@@OsirisDiamonds i know you're busy lol, but if possible can you do a video on what to look for while searching for a nice diamond online? I seen your video on round cuts which helped a lot, but round is so different from the radiant 🤕 thank you

What color and grade would you recommend for a Rolex watch if you're trying to get the most Sparkle but save the most money?
Hello, I think H- I color is fine for small goods. Most rings on the market are with H-I color stones.
How about when I see in the comments on GIA additional clouds not shown… should I stay away from those?
generally, when you have vs2 and up its a non issue. Most SI1 diamonds are also a non issue.

BN...$3434, marked down from $6064. DD...$4868. All have return policies. To me a "reputable diamond dealer" is the same as a "reputable car dealer." I am a single dad, widower. And I will be prepared to buy when she comes along. Have you watched all of Osiris' videos? They are well worth your time. Good luck to you. Just my 2 cents!
@@NoName-ll1ti oh yes I watched all his videos and amazing advice. Got my almond 2 carats , round brilliant cut (GS1) ok price from private dealer & im happy. Shopping for 3 Carats round to replace the old one much better higher quality soon. That’s why I’m watching & comparing. But , I’m retired, single & old school when it comes to this category. It’s just my humble way of shopping. Seldom shop online even clothes. But thanks for your advice too. All the best. 👍🇨🇦🙏
I think you should really consider online with James Allen. Most people are fearful but you get more bang for your buck and honestly most people are glad they did it online instead of the retail store. No one ever regret their decision. And you can return It for a full refund so you have nothing to lose. I get it, I can’t imagine purchasing something that will be priced so high. But this is one time where I think an online wholesaler is better than a store front retailer. Remember their job is to sell first. With online, you do your research and then make an informed decision online and get more for your money. Just my opinion. Good luck on your purchase though, whichever way you decide.
I respect that you are old school and understand.
Loving the research. Thanks for the great comment
Is IGI a trusted gem certifier ?
Hi, love your videos, I'm looking to buy an oval style diamond from James allen what would you recommend, I don't want to spend over 4k but are there any options on getting a bigger size as well as a decent color and clarity or what would you recommend.
Thanks for showing some love to my vids. If you want a larger look, stick to a 1.40-1.50 length to width ratio, Si1 and I-H color. Here is a link with all my fav settings. When searching avoid a heavy bowtie - www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?Color=I,H,G,F,E,D&Shape=oval-cut&Polish=EX,VG&Symmetry=EX,VG&Lab=GIA,AGS&Flour=None,Faint,Medium&DepthTo=63&TableTo=62?a_aid=5a73fd85d5e0d I hope this helps.
Can you Give me your opinion on GIA certified round brilliant measurements` 5.21-5.24 x3.27mm .55H color Sl2 Cut grade excellent , Polish Excellent. Symmetry excellent , fluorescence none, clarity characteristics crystal, cloud, feather, knot . Thanks peace and blessings. Appreciate your informative video’s and thanks for enlightening and educating people on diamonds.
So you are saying yes or no to very florescent diamonds?
Its a hell yes for me :)
@@OsirisDiamonds thanks
Hey Osiris, these are great videos! Can you do a video reviewing and comparing a company called Vrai?
Thanks Tina, I will look into that.
Hey Osiris, With the white gold ring, can I go with J colour or stick with H?
H color will look a lot better than a j in white gold.
I’m getting a rose gold band what color diamonds would you recommend?
Just curious I’ve been looking for a bit , I’m looking at a 1ct pear with rose gold , in your profession what is the best stats to look at
Can you please help with the best config for princess cut under 5000$ ?

Hey Osiris, I live in Canada should I consider buying diamonds from American sites? Is there a reputable Canadian site, I’m 27 looking to buy an engagement ring to surprise the love of my life! Thank you sir!
Hi KF, Blue Nile and James Allen ship to Canada overnight so I see no issues you considering them. I would say use the most trusted sources. I dont know of a specific website that is only Canadian so my apologies if I dont have a good answer.
Hey Osiris, thanks for you helpful vids. As a manufacturing jeweller I'm confused how a similar spec diamond on James Allen is less than our B2B diamond database or our local diamond wholesaler?
Hi Jesse, its wild isn't it. When I was selling a long time ago, I found that very frustrating. Sometimes, online has wholesale pricing. Other times you can get a bigger discount in wholesale.
@@OsirisDiamonds Hi Osiris, thank you kindly for your reply. When we have purchased stones online before and created a piece of jewellery and then sent it for evaluation. The valuer did not mark the stone up as much because he says it was purchased retail and not wholesale.
What do you think about a 2ct emerald J color VVS2 on 18k gold solitaire band? I’m worrisome on the color should I go higher?
Hi Andrew, It will for sure look warm. But 18kt has a deep gold color so I think its worth a shot. Its gonna match nicely. If you find an I color thats close in price consider it.
i am trying to buy a tenzanite diamond ring which has "American International Gemologists" pre-sale certificate. Should i trust this certificate ? If possible please do a VLOG on various companies offer these diamond certifications. Besides GIA which one whould be truet?
I wouldnt buy AIG cert. GIA,AGS for natural, IGI for lab are the only ones I would buy.
Purchasing my first diamond, not sure what to get 😆
Looking for a 2 ct Emerald cut from Blue Nile!
Which parameters in white gold would you recommend?
Hi Teresa, Love Emeralds, for sure you need a high color- G color minimum and a vs1. Maybe you find a good vs2 but emeralds show their faults easily. Here is an article for Bluenile where I have some table and depth percentages for emerald there www.diamondcityonline.com/tips-for-using-blueniles-website/
Hi please help! i am wondering my sister just got 3.60gr diamond ring, i google it, it says around 18karat/ carat? And price around $4.000 australian dollar and i went to jewelry shop yesterday and i like one of the ring, cost $4.500 aus dollar, but it says 0.95 Carat TW Of Diamonds In 14kt White Gold, not even 18ct, so i mean why are they different?

Do you still offer diamond choice advice?
Any other retailers your recommend beside James Allen.
Hi, Yes I do. I am currently backed up with email due to a vacation but trying to catch up. I like Blue Nile and Brian Gavin as well. I search others too but often find the pricing is higher. So I focus on the best value.
Very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome.
They really ship diamonds via ups or mail?
Yes they ship it insured with signature required. Easy peezy.
what a g!
Nah you a da G! G!
Selling my 3pcs diamonds.
Hey! Was looking at getting a round diamond on a yellow gold band. Was looking for an F color but then heard you say not to waste a D color on gold! Can you please expand a little? I have quite a good eye and I’m afraid the K color will look too yellow?!
Hi Jessica, Yes of course. When you have a yellow gold ring, it will introduce color into a diamond. So once you mount a D color, it will have a warm tone present due to the light reflecting off the yellow gold back into the diamond. Its a waste of money in my opinion. K-J color will be amazing for you with the added benefit of a bigger carat size.
Aym prom Sri Lanka ai have diamond 58c.t
Is there another way to contact you other than e-mail if we were to ask for help with choosing diamonds?
Hello and thanks for reaching out. Yes email is the best way. Sometimes messages go to my spam but I always check as often as I can.
Hermano, Thank you for the tips...
Need your help... would you recommend me buying a ring my buddy is selling me for $8,500 .
2.1 CT Color is K with SI1 in clarity.
Please need your advise.
Glad I was helpful. Buying from a buddy is tough. You dont know if buddy bought correctly and if the diamond has a great cut. I will say Price is very fair.
Any information on Radiants? 2 ct elongated should be at what depth not to look shallow? Also, does the thickness of girdle affect the diamond? Thank you
Hello, here are my favorite settings for radiants www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?Cut=Very+Good,Ideal,TrueHearts&Shape=radiant-cut&Polish=EX,VG&Symmetry=EX,VG&Lab=GIA,AGS&DepthFrom=62&DepthTo=70&TableFrom=62&TableTo=70?a_aid=5a73fd85d5e0d. You want to be in the 1.20 to 1.30 length to width ratio. I will say its subjective and some like the longer length to width ratios. Girdle is an aspect but is low in the list. If everything else checks the boxes and the girdle is a little hick, it doesn't mean the diamond will lack brilliance. It's more of a center mass issue rather than a light issue.
@@OsirisDiamonds thank you, I saw a 8.77x6.42. Its a 1.36 and not sure if it can still pass lol
@@karinachavez2425 It can work yes lol.
@@OsirisDiamonds i know you're busy lol, but if possible can you do a video on what to look for while searching for a nice diamond online? I seen your video on round cuts which helped a lot, but round is so different from the radiant 🤕 thank you
What’s the name of the song lol???
