How to Buy a Diamond
Do a little research before
buying diamonds to make sure
you know what you're buying.
Buying diamond jewelry
is not a task to be taken lightly. If you don't do your research,
you could end up getting swindled. Brush up with a little Diamond
101 so that you can navigate your way through the wide world of
diamond jewelry without getting lost. These days there is more fake
diamond jewelry made than there is real diamond jewelry so you need
to be able to recognize the difference. I can tell you it is sometimes
very difficult.
The first four things that you have to get straight when you are
buying diamond jewelry are what people in the diamond jewelry business
refer to as the four C's: carat, cut, color, and clarity. Carat
refers to the weight, and subsequently, the size of the diamond
whereas the cut refers to the shape of the diamond which are the
most common cuts are round, princess and pear.
Diamonds also come in different colors (colorless or near colorless
diamonds are far more expensive than slightly colored diamonds)
and clarities (some diamonds are totally flawless while other have
visible inclusions). Popular colored diamonds these days are pink,
blue and yellow diamonds thanks to celebrity buys.
Most diamond jewelry is priced according to the diamond cut, carat,
color and clarity. If someone offers you a diamond of poor clarity,
one that is fraught with visible inclusions, you'll know that it's
not worth much and then you can bargain accordingly. The same goes
for the color. You should not spend too much on diamond jewelry
that has a visibly yellow hue because it is flawed.
The other thing to consider when shopping for diamond jewelry is
the diamond setting. Some diamonds are set in cheap or poorly designed
settings. And don't forget to examine the brilliance of the diamond
because unless you're specifically searching around for dirty diamonds,
your diamond jewelry should sparkle beyond belief. Diamond jewelry
is mostly used as a gift. If you want to buy good diamond jewelry
as a gift, shop around. You are sure to find something that will
suit the occasion.
With diamonds being so popular it is a wonder that they have not
become extremely cheap yet. They are coming along though. Now that
platinum has become such a popular metal to include with diamonds,
buying regular gold is getting cheaper every day. You can find diamonds
in so many shapes that it is very much worth the money that you
spend. That and it is nearly impossible to destroy one so you know
that you are getting your money’s worth. It certainly makes sense
to buy diamonds these days. It is the one thing that does last.
