The imposing size of a five carat diamond creates an unparalleled visual presence and mesmerizes anyone who sees it. For this reason, 5 Carat Diamond Rings are often the showstopping centerpiece of engagement rings and gorgeous jewelry collections.
Luxury buyers are often drawn to larger diamonds for their unique beauty and the opportunity to showcase them in one-of-a-kind designs. Less than 1% of diamonds are 5 carats or larger and these rare gems take center stage for all to see. While round brilliant cut diamonds have the most versatility, a 5 carat diamond is a beautiful option for a marquise, pear or oval shape as well. These elongated shapes require precise symmetry and proportions to ensure optimal light performance and avoid a dark bow-tie effect across the diamond’s face.
5 Carat Diamond Rings: Make a Statement with Grandeur
When selecting a diamond at this size, it is important to evaluate the quality of its cut in addition to the traditional 4 Cs of carat weight, clarity and color. A diamond that has a superior cut grade is sure to out-sparkle its competitors and will be a truly exceptional piece of jewelry.
At this size, it is difficult to find a flawless (D Flawless) diamond and it should be expected that some inclusions will be present in a five carat diamond. However, it is important to review the diamond’s overall appearance to make sure that they are not visible with the naked eye and are completely hidden by other facet reflections (i.e. eye-clean).
