Buying a Diamond

Buying a diamond could be a complex and frustrating experience people undertake. This step by step guide will give you insightful guidance to buying the perfect diamond for you or that special loved one.It is without a doubt when we purchase something of great value, example a car we want to know all about that vehicle before purchasing it. We want to know about the model of the vehicle, if it's good on gas, what safety features it offers, price, etc. Before buying a diamond you need to have a projected budget. Visit a few jewelers and examine different diamonds under a 10x power magnification, the jeweler should let you use their loupe. We need to learn about the 4 Cs in order to understand how to evaluate a good diamond from a poor diamond. After understanding these simple principles we will then begin to discover how the diamond gets it's brilliance. When visiting the jeweler try to have some idea of the kind of style (shape) of diamond your fiancee admires before moving on to mounting the diamond on the ring, the styles of rings, and of course the size of the ring.

Educate Yourself knowledge is power
Find out as much as you can before making your purchase on a diamond. The more educated you become, the better price, and higher grade diamond you will receive. We have a few good places we can recommend you to read up on information about the 4C's (Carat, Cut, Clarity, Color) and other useful information based on diamonds.
When at the Jewelry Shop make sure to get the market value for the diamond your interested in. Look at the quality of the diamonds the Jeweler is quoting you on. Make sure to write this information down. We have a PDF file "Diamond Ring CheckList" for you to print out. It will help you ask the right questions, and make comparisons when shopping. Next, you want to find out if the diamond is certified. If so, is it with a recognized Gem Institution such as GIA, AGS, and not some unheard institution? Check out Gem Institutions for a list of reputable Cert Institutes. Try to get the information from the certificate if possible. After visiting a few Jewelers, seeing similar diamonds displayed elsewhere evaluate the prices, find out if the diamond comes with the certificate from the gem lab. Make sure when comparing prices, they are based the same type of diamond on identical properties of the 4C's. For example, minor differences in cut can have a severe impact on the price and beauty of the diamond. The most important point to remember is not to compare the price of a certified Diamond with a price of a Diamond which is not certified, or is only certified by a no-name brand Laboratory. Unless your in for a good shock.

At this point we should have an idea of what type of diamond we want to purchase. Let's not rush into making this extravagant purchase without first exhausting all our resources. Symmetry and proportions of a diamond are very important. The better the symmetry the better the brilliance of the diamond. I have prepared the "Editor's Letter" which outlines some very important guidelines as to the ideal symmetry for the different types of diamonds (also read Shapes) out in the market. This, along with other useful information is outlined in the "Editor's Letter", make sure to read it, it's a great read
