Answer 1

a 1 carat, D colour (the whitest), VVS2 (very very small inclusions 2, the 3rd best clarity after IF and VVS1), round, perfectly cut diamond, will be about 10-11'000 dollars

below about 0.5 carat, the diamond will start to be a bit small for one to notice the clarity differences that much, or the colour differences by the way.

which is why most jewellers will tend to offer slightly lower qualities on smaller diamonds, say not better than G (which is still quite white by the way), and no clearer than VS1 or VS2

if you look around a bit, you should find one such 0.25 carat fairly white and fairly pure diamond for around 350-400 dollars.

for a piercing this may be enough. for jewelry this is on the low-end, especially for an earring for a woman other than teenager (of course, even so the pair of earstuds, total weight 0.5 carat, would already set you back 800-900 dollars - the mount would typically be given away by the seller because it costs so little, relative). for a ring this is too small, unless it is for a teenager.

in general given that it is pretty much impossible for a non-professional to tell the difference between, say, D or F (or even G), or beween, say, IF and, say, VS1, either go to a reputable place (retailer such as Kays, online retailer such as diamondstudsonly.com), or else avoid the whiter colours and higher clarities if you cannot trust the vendor 200pc.

hope this helps
