How to buy diamonds?

1.Choose the right jeweler

He or she should be an expert in the diamond business with solid proof on his/her expertise. He/she should be open to questions and able to provide answers in clear, simple language.  A measure of a jeweler's knowledge is whether he is professionally trained. Preferably, his training comes from a highly-recognized and internationally accredited program. An educated jeweler will not only explain the 4Cs of diamond quality to you, but will be able to demonstrate the differences between apparently similar stones. They will also encourage you to compare a number of diamonds that fall in your budget.

2.Understand the 4Cs of Diamond Quality

This basic knowledge will not only unlock the mystery of a diamond's quality, it will help you understand a diamond's value and price.

Diamond Color In most diamonds, the term actually refers to the absence of color. The less color in the stone, the more desirable and valuable it is. Some of these differences are not visible to the naked eye, but directly impact the overall quality and price of the stone.

Diamond Cut does not refer to a diamond's shape, but to the proportion and arrangement of its facets and the quality of workmanship. The amount of brilliance, sparkle and fire in a diamond is determined by cut. Grades range from 'Excellent' to 'Poor.' 

Diamond Carat refers to a diamond's weight. Generally speaking, the higher the carat weight, the more expensive the stone. Two diamonds of equal carat weight, however, can have very different quality and price when the other three Cs are considered.

No matter how beautiful a diamond may look you simply cannot see its true quality. The 4Cs of diamond quality will provide you with the information you need to know the diamond's actual quality. 

Always make sure you have the best value for money offered to you when buying a diamond. Reselling diamonds losses should be kept to minimal at all times.
