Quick answer: There's no fixed rule — set a budget you're comfortable with first, then choose carat, cut, colour, and clarity to fit it. Carat weight moves price the most, cut quality affects how big a stone looks, and lab-grown diamonds cost meaningfully less than natural ones at the same specifications.
No. The old "two months' salary" rule is a marketing invention, not a financial or cultural standard, and it's widely ignored today. The realistic approach is to set a budget you're comfortable with first, then choose the diamond's specifications to fit it, rather than the other way around.
Carat weight moves price the most dramatically, especially just above whole and half-carat thresholds (0.99ct to 1.00ct, for instance), where price jumps disproportionately to the size difference. Cut quality affects how big a diamond looks and sparkles for its weight, which is why two same-carat stones can look noticeably different in person.
Lab-grown diamonds are typically priced well below natural diamonds of the same specifications, though the exact gap varies by shape, size, and quality grade. Both are graded on the same 4Cs scale and, when independently certified, both carry the same certainty about what you're actually buying.
There's no single answer: certified diamonds span a very wide price range depending on shape, carat, colour, and clarity. Rather than anchoring to a number you've seen quoted elsewhere, search by the specifications that matter to you and see what's actually available at each price point.
Audrey's works as a catalogue with confirmed quotes, not instant checkout. Adding a stone or piece to your enquiry list isn't a purchase; every sale is confirmed with you personally before anything is finalised, so the price you see is a starting point for a real conversation, not a locked-in transaction.
