Optimally you should try to buy a loose stone from a diamond wholesaler. Sometimes wholesale prices can be much cheaper than retail. Also jewelers try to hide flaws in the diamond underneath the prongs (those pieces of the ring that hold the stone in place.) A loose diamond will be easier to check for clarity.
