Are jewels worth more than diamonds?

1 Answer
Are jewels worth more than diamonds?
Whether jewels are worth more than diamonds varies. The price of a diamond depends on its color, clarity, carat weight and cut. Rare-colored gemstones, such as alexandrites, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, may be worth more than a similarly sized diamond if the diamond is of low quality. Also, it's worth keeping in mind that diamonds technically are jewels as well. Shop a diverse assortment of diamond and colored gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
