Diamond 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 Buying 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.
