Formula Used

The EGL USA Diamond Price Calculator uses the following formula to estimate diamond prices:

The base price per carat is determined by the current market average. The color, clarity, and cut factors are multipliers based on the EGL USA grading standards.

Note: This calculator provides an estimate only. Actual diamond prices may vary based on market conditions, supply and demand, and other factors beyond the calculator's scope.

Worked Example

Color: G
Clarity: VS1
Cut: Very Good

Using the calculator:

Enter 1.5 in the carat weight field
Select G from the color dropdown
Select VS1 from the clarity dropdown
Select Very Good from the cut dropdown
Click Calculate

The calculator will display an estimated price based on the EGL USA pricing model. The exact amount will depend on the current base price per carat and the specific factors applied.
