Fine diamond jewelry and women just go together like fur coats and sports cars. They complement each other so well. Fine diamond jewelry around the neck or on their hands of women draws attention, which is a huge compliment. This has become almost like a hobby to some women. Everywhere they go they buy another piece for their collection. Many women have more than one jewelry box full of fine diamond jewelry. Some women have beautiful boards on their bedroom wall that hold the rings and necklaces for all to see. Displaying their most beautiful pieces but have the rest tucked away.
When you go shopping, you will want to know several things so you make sure you get the best in fine diamond jewelry. You want to choose the best diamond you can. Look for the 4 C’s – Color, clarity, carats and cut. Some people say 5 C’s, which the fifth C being cost. Many believe the bigger the diamond the more it will cost. This is not always true. You can get a small diamond but it is cut differently and the clarity is so clear it would cost more than a larger one. If large ones have flaws and the color is off while a tiny one is beautifully cut and clear, the smaller one would be a greater price but the best in value. You do not want any flaws or discoloration in your fine diamond jewelry.
Therefore, if you know she wants a large ring then you may have to sacrifice on the cut and clarity a bit. If it does not matter to her then you could get a smaller one of better quality. Plan a budget and stick to it when you go shopping. If all you have is $1,000 total then tell the jeweler that you have this much to spend on the total stone and setting. If you do not clarify some jewelers will show you a ring and the $1,000 you planned to spend only covers the stone. So let him know this ahead of time. If you are looking around and you see one that is just perfect, ask to see it. Look at it under a magnifying glass if you want. Never look through a diamond on a white board. With a clear diamond you should not be able to read a newspaper print through it. That’s the reason you can see through CZ ones. They are made of glass.
Do some research before going into the jewellry store. Go in and impress them with your knowledge. It may just surprise you as to how they treat you when you show you know so much about diamonds.
