Steps To Buying A Diamond
Online With Confidence
When shopping for diamond jewelry, you may
wonder if you should buy it from a retail store or online. Pretty much across
the board, we have found that purchasing diamonds online is a better option.
Not only will you enjoy lower prices, but you will also have a more extensive
selection of well-cut diamonds when shopping online.
Whether you are buying diamond jewelry in
person or online, many of the same considerations apply. However, we have some
additional tips to help you click the “Proceed To Checkout” button with
confidence.
Choose a reliable seller.
If you want to find a beautiful diamond at an
excellent price, the first thing you need to do is select a reputable diamond
seller. Reputable
sellers provide top-notch customer service and intuitive websites
where you can shop with peace of mind.
Verify the grading report
A grading report is critical because it
ensures that the diamond is what the seller claims. Keep in mind that not all
grading reports are equal. Look for a GIA Diamond Grading Report. GIA is the most
respected and consistent of all grading entities.
Evaluate the Cut
The ‘Cut’ is perhaps the most crucial aspect
to consider as it directly impacts a diamond’s beauty. As you browse through
our selection of diamonds, choose only Good to Excellent cut diamonds for the highest brilliance
and fire levels.
Gauge Color
You want the Color or overall tint of your
diamond to be white and colorless, and you want to avoid diamonds with any
noticeable brown or yellow hue. Typically, diamonds in the G-I range will
appear colorless and cost far less than diamonds in the D-F range.
Look for eye-clean
Clarity.
Zoom in on the photo of the diamond you are
considering to assess the Clarity. Check to see if the diamond is clean of any
inclusions or blemishes. Typically, SI1 (Slightly Included 1) and SI2 (Slightly
Included 2) diamonds will give you an eye-clean diamond but cost a lot less
than VVS1 (Very, Very Slightly Included 1) and VVS2 (Very, Very Slightly
Included 1) diamonds.
Decide on Your carat
weight.
The carat size refers to the weight of your
diamond. When shopping for a diamond online, be open to reducing your carat
weight in favor of more sparkle and brilliance.
