For example, when you go into a car dealership, you can easily compare prices between cars in the same model or class of cars. You can easily obtain the statistics of all luxury sedans, and compare the statistics of the cars in the group. Once you have this comparison chart, you
can compare engine sizes, models, colors, and included features. Well buying a diamond is just the same. Once you determine your budget, you can put together list of diamonds and their characteristics and compare the qualities before making your decision.
