How not to get Scammed When You Buy Diamond Jewelry

Diamond Jewelry, Shopping Tips No Comments »

When you go to buy diamond jewelry, if you do not know what you are doing you may be scammed. How do you know you are when you are not an expert? Here are a few tips, but read up on this, because there are a few things you should learn along with what to spot when shopping to buy your diamond jewelry.

When they tell you the total carat weight, what does this mean? Many stores list the total weight of all the diamonds in their information and not list the center stone separate. You have to ask them to distinguish this for you because a diamonds total weight of the center stone is worth more than all the other diamonds totally the same weight of the center. For example if you have 8 stones surrounding the center diamond and they both weigh the same, the center diamond would be worth more. The center diamond could very well cost over $5000 while all the smaller stones, of the same weight could only cost about $1500. Ask them to make sure you know the weight of both. If they will not provide this information, then leave and go to another store that will do this for you!

Next thing to watch for, if they say it is a blue-white diamond and tell you it is more expensive than the others do not believe it. This in fact is just the opposite of it. The bluish color actually makes a diamond look milky colored and of less value. Don’t even bother with a jeweler who tells you this.

Another scam they use is called The Bait and Switch…this means an advertised diamond is sold when you get there and they want to get you to buy another diamond, which actually costs a lot more. If the advertised one isn’t available and they will not give you a rain check then find a different store.

Never take an in house appraisal. They will always tell you it is worth more than it is just to get you to buy it. Take it to someone who doesn’t sell diamonds and is not connected to anyone who does. This way you will get an honest appraisal.

Always check for loose stones because many jewelers will hide flaws under the prongs. Any damage that there is could very well make the stone more fragile after it is tightened under the prongs.

Watch out for deposit scams. Many of them will tell you that you have to leave a deposit if you want to take it for an appraisal and do not let you know it is not refundable. Get everything in writing before going. Learn all you can before you buy diamond jewelry.

How to Buy Diamond Jewelry

Diamond Jewelry, Shopping Tips No Comments »

Knowing how a jeweler determines how much a diamond is worth will help you in your buying. They have a system that measures the diamonds known as the 4 C’s. Cut, clarity, carat, and color. The following will help you as a guideline, so you know how to buy diamond jewelry.

First off, you will want to select a reputable jeweler. He must know exactly what he is doing. Even if it is in a mall store, you can find reputable ones.

Secondly, you must know what you want so you can tell him. Decide on the cut before you get there so you can tell him right away. Decide whether you want a pear shape, princess, oval, marquise, or heart shaped, just to name a few.

Thirdly, decide on how many carats you desire.  Remember the bigger it is the bigger carat you will get.

Fourth: Decide on color. A clear, normal diamond or a specific color, like pink, blue or yellow. The diamond you pick out will be a certain grade. D has no color and a grade of Z has a yellowish tint to it.

Fifth: Decide the clarity. Clarity is the imperfections in your stone. Diamonds only have two types, inclusions and blemishes. The first one being inside your diamond, which could be flaws, cracks or specks of color and the second, is the outside on the surface. It is also judged by what can be seen with the naked eye.

Lastly you need to ask for an appraisal for the diamond you choose. You will want to always keep this with your diamond for insurance purposes.

You must remember the more carats you decide on the higher in price it will be. The 4 C’s also determine the price. Go with the smaller carats and it will be cheaper for you. If the one you decide on has some flaws, then you will want to decide if it noticeable enough to where others can see it. You do not want to buy one you are not happy with. Make sure your final decision is what you want, not what your talked into. A reputable jeweler will not persuade you just to make a sale.

If your buying a diamond for an engagement ring then keep in mind the matching band. You will more than likely purchase both together. You wouldn’t want a unmatched set. Many jewelry stores will keep the band in their safe until the day of the wedding for you. That way you won’t worry about losing it. That would be disastrous. Better safe than sorry.

Keeping all this in mind you will have no problem in when you buy diamond jewelry.
