At ADOL we want to make your diamond shopping experience fun, informative, and hassle free! We offer diamonds with lab certificates from the three primary gemological laboratories of GIA, AGS and EGL. All 3 are recognized in the industry, world wide, thus allowing you comfort in knowing and being able to verify what you will receive, as well as the benefit of being able to compare "apples-apples" You also now have a safe place to make that major purchase, we've been doing investment bullion and volume diamond sales for a decade, now we come to the web to make a difference. .

We have designed our diamond search engine to be as restrictive or as broad in your search criteria as you desire within a specified shape. However, being too specific on size and quality will substantially lessen the number of fine diamonds available to choose from. The only reason for limiting a search to within a .05 ct range or less would be if you're wanting to match for a pair. For most searches, we recommend that you consider a common sense "range" to allow maximum possibilities to be displayed in your search. For example, consider a search in the range of 0.55-0.69 instead of just 0.65-0.69 . Or 0.85-0.99 instead of 0.95-0.99 . Remember that a diamonds' "apparent size" is related to its' mesurements, not the weight.

If you don't happen to find your perfect diamond listed in our search engine , please feel free to contact us with your request as we work with many large diamond cutters and can most likely find "anything" at a competitive and reasonable price : )

While we emphasize cut and specialize in "ideal" cuts, which applies to the round brilliant shape only , we want you to know that diamonds which fall outside of this range, to a degree, can also be very lively and beautiful specimens. The point here is that what's "ideal" for one person may not be so for the next! Which is why even the industry has not come to terms with exactly what constitutes "ideal". Different cutters and laboratories have different definitions for what they consider ideal. Therefore we suggest you keep an open mind and don't get pigeonholed into restricting your criteria to the point that you let an excellent diamond pass you by! An ultra-fine diamond can be the product of many variations in its' cut. If there were only one set of rules/criteria that produced the most brilliant and firey diamond in the world, there would be no variance within the diamond industry.

A general guideline for ideal cuts would be a depth in the range of 58-62.5% and table of 53-57.5%. A fine cut would be considered in the range of 57-63% depth and a table up to 64%. For images of most of the popular cuts see the four c's page, regarding cut.

Fancy shape diamonds should not be represented as "ideal" and do not live by the same rules that would apply to the round brilliant.

Marquise, Pear, Oval, and Heart shapes:
We consider the prime range for depth and table in these cuts to be within the range of about 58-64% on both. Again, do not get locked in to diamonds "only" in that range, but use it as a guideline. Individual shape(length-width ratio) is as much a factor when considering these shapes. And remember, your preference may not be the same as the next person , so don't listen to the "babble" by some companies that the l-w ratio for a pearshape has to be 1.50:1 or that a marquise has to be 2:1. It's all a matter of personal preference! As a guideline though, think of the following ratios to represent the "classic" look for each shape, with the higher the ratio meaning a more slender elongated shape. Marquise @ 1.75-2.10:1. Pear & Ovals @ 1.30-1.50:1, and Hearts @ 90-1.1:1.

Princess and Radiant cuts:
We consider a depth in the range of mid-sixties to mid-seventies as best. The table for a princess cut can be in the range of mid-sixties to lower eighty percent, while the table for a radiant should stay more within the range of mid-sixties to mid-seventies. Most people think of a princess cut as always being perfectly square in shape, however this is more commonly the exception than the rule. And you will very rarely find a radiant with a perfectly square shape. Just consider what is pleasing to you and we shall do our best to find what you want if you don't see it in our search engine : )

Emerald shape:
With the step-facet cutting of this shape, a higher degree of clarity is normally required in order to have a diamond with no eye-visible flaws, so consider a VS2 clarity as a safe place to start for that. Depth and table is best in the range of mid-sixties to low/mid-seventies. The "classic" look of the emerald cut would have a l-w ratio in about the range of 1.30 to 1.50:1. I've had customers who've requested a square shape as well so let your imagination go wild!

Trillion(triangle) cut:
No cut has a wider range for depth and table and still provide a wonderfully brilliant and lively diamond! Consider depth to be prime at about 35-45% and table from about 45-60%.
Note, we do not "charge you to use your credit card", which is both counter to the terms of the merchant's service agreements and common sense, so just remember that we post our prices, and offer you a 2% discount for cash/wire. *No risk, lower prices and credentials as one of the largest most aggressive bullion dealers on the internet.
