Old mine cut diamonds, for the most part, are pretty affordable.

While clarity is less important than a diamond's cut or color, if you are buying a diamond over one carat or considering certain fancy-shaped diamonds (like an emerald or Asscher cut where flaws are more visible), you may want to spend more for a higher clarity grade.
