Here are some things you should remember when searching for your diamond.
Ensure that a diamond comes with a report on diamond-grading. A third-party professional laboratory can verify the diamond’s quality characteristics to give buyers real assurance and peace of mind.
Size does not necessarily mean everything. The most important determinant of a diamond’s beauty and cost is its cut. This is not the case with its weight or size. Ask a certified jeweler to explain how diamonds are cut. Take a look at different cut grades of diamonds to get an idea of the best-cut diamond for you.
– Set a budget. Find a jeweler and give him or her an accurate estimate of your budget. The jeweler will show you the different diamonds that are within your budget. You should see the diamonds under different lighting conditions.
Never buy an uninspected diamond. Photos can’t do justice to the beauty of a diamond. Be aware of “deals.”A jeweler will not sell a diamond for a loss. Discounts often indicate that the original price was exaggerated.
