What is Diamond Branding?
Don't be fooled into paying
more for a branded diamond.
Diamonds are one of the few products that simply cannot be branded.
Even though there are different cuts, different grades, and different
values placed on each and every diamond in existence, no diamond
is any specific brand just as gold is not a specific brand.
Branding is actually based on who owns the diamond. For instance,
if DeBeers owns the diamond, it is a DeBeers Diamond but
it is still just a diamond. If the diamond was cut by a specific
well known cutter, then it might be branded in that way as well
but it usually isnt. It is still branded based on who
owns it at the time. So basically, when it comes down to it
diamond brands mean absolutely nothing at all.
Do not allow a jeweler to try to talk you into paying an exorbitant
price on a diamond because it is a specific brand. This is a bit
of trickery used by unscrupulous jewelers when they know that they
are dealing with people who dont know much about diamonds.
Remember that diamonds are not actually branded unless mother
nature has her own brand!
