6 Handy Tips on Buying The Right Diamond

1. Learn about diamonds
Sometimes, I just can’t help myself but to keep on emphasizing this to anyone who wants to buy a diamond online: LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT DIAMONDS! Sorry, I don’t mean to shout. But in reality, many people are still very ignorant about diamond.

Believe it a not, there are jewelers who are unable to differentiate a diamond cut from a diamond shape. Everyone is so hyped up about the carat weight and has totally forgotten about the other 3 characteristics of a diamond.

It won’t take you years or months to learn something about diamond. There are plenty of articles and information on the 4C of a diamond. Spend some useful time in the library or internet and learn about diamonds. Who knows, you may become an expert in diamonds.

2. Prioritize the 4 characteristics
There are much more about diamonds than just the 4Cs. But at the end of the day, the 4Cs are still the major factors influencing the quality and price of a diamond.

Before you start prioritizing the 4Cs, you got to know what your girl actually likes about a diamond. If she like big one, go for a diamond with big carat weight but with poorer quality in terms of color, cut or clarity. If she likes the brilliance of a diamond and doesn’t mind the size, choose one with excellent cut and clarity. Whichever the case is, prioritizing the 4Cs will give you a better idea of what diamonds will suit her taste as well as your budget.

3. Do a price research
With your list, do some price research at some of the online jewelry stores (Here are some of the top online jewelry stores). Based on your list, you should have a rough estimate of the market price of the diamond you are looking for. If the price is out of your budget, try going for a grade lower than your expectation and you may eventually find one that suits you well.

4. Do some background research on the jewelry stores
If you have been doing researching, you would have come across information on cubic zirconium diamonds. These synthetic diamonds are D-color graded, flawless and cut to perfection. In short, a CZ diamond is a ‘perfect’ diamond. It is brilliant, flawless and yet cheap. Their prices do not increase exponentially with their quality unlike diamonds.

And there are also some natural diamonds which have undergone treatments to reduce its blemishes thus enhanced its appearance. It is still a low grade diamond and dishonest dealers may try to pass it off as a good graded diamond and sell you at a higher price.

So, before you start swiping your hard-earned money away, do some research about the jeweler as well. Ask your family, relatives or friend who have purchased from the dealer. Online forum is a good place to ask around and there are plenty of sites that provide reviews on jewelry store online.

Give the jewelry store a call, talk to their staffs and decide for yourself if you are comfortable with the store.

5. Always ask for a money back guarantee
There are risks in very form of transactions, so do buying diamonds. Protect yourself and minimize any risks by making sure that the store has the complete details about their return policy. It should include information about the validity period, what to do if you wish to return your purchase and their address.

As a rule of thumb, online stores should offer you no less than 21 days return policy. In fact, most of them have a return policy of 30 days.

6. Choose jewelers who provide grading reports
Certified diamonds will come along with a grading report by reputable gemology organizations such as GIA or AGS. Some online jewelry stores certified their diamond by in-house gemologists and they may be using different grading standards from GIA or AGS, while others may not provide the grading reports. Diamonds from top online jewelry stores generally comes accompanied with a grading report.

After you have purchased your diamond, you should get it appraised again with the grading report by a trained gemologist. The grading report will be very helpful in ascertaining whether the diamond you have bought is up to the specifications shown on the report.

Deciding factors of costs in engagement rings

Costs of engagement rings are largely determined by the diamond you are going to purchase for it. Hence, if you have taken care of the high costs, the overall ring prices fall within your budget there are many ways that the couples can explore for ensuring the lower costs on the precious stones.

Engagement rings consist of many features. Its metal band, precious stones, settings, elaborative engravings are few of the chief features that make a ring. Each of it involves good amount of money and total cost of the jewelry piece goes higher if the couples demand a great quality as well. So, what is the most costly such feature on the ring?

Well, without doubt it is the diamond. Though usually there is single diamond on the top of the ring, still it is expensive and often out of the buying reach of the couples. To escape the high costs, some couples opt for smaller diamonds. Still, the costs are out of budget if some care is not taken to cut the expenses. One can say that if you successfully cut the cost of precious stone, the overall cost of the ring will be down substantially.

First tip is that you must consider is to purchase a loose diamond for ensuring of quality and lower costs. A mounted stone on the ready made ring may not be of good quality. Moreover, loose diamonds are cheaper to purchase as you can buy them from anywhere at lower costs.

A flawless diamond is expensive. Instead of such stones, you should look for the ones that have some inclusions in it. Search for the diamonds that have invisible flaws in it. Such precious stones are usually within budget for engagement rings.

Another aspect of the diamonds to look for is its color. If it is colorless or pure white in appearance, then it is beyond buying capability of the couples. Ask the jeweler to show you some yellow color diamonds. But do not settle for the stones having dark yellow or brown color which are indicative of bad quality. A middle grade of color should be your preference as such stones are affordable as well.

The engagement rings with a diamond having affordable cuts should be preferred. Cuts make the light reflect from the facets on the surface and from deep inside. The diamond will be brilliant with little lower facets and not so deeper cuts. But the costs will be less expensive. Similarly, a pear or heart shaped diamond is highly costly because of the skills and time involved. Instead, opt for rectangle or square shaped stones for cutting the costs. Princes or emerald cut diamonds should be your preferences.

The type of settings is also responsible for decreasing of enhancing of engagement rings costs. For instance, prong setting may cost you less than a channel setting on a platinum ring as the metal is very strong. If some more engravings are to be made on the metal, then the cost will accelerate.

In the end, it can be said that the couples can always search for budget rings in the wide marketplace. Engagement rings are within their range once they follow above tips.
