Never buy a diamond just cuase it comes with a certificate. A certificate
isn't enough. You need to check the details on the certificate and understand
the report . You need to know the 4 Cs.
Also, get a certificate from a reliable laboratory
such as Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Certain laboratories may even provide
a value of the diamond . Be aware this is just an estmiated or inflated value.
So if you want to insure your diamond make sure you get it appraised. It is always better to buy a losoe stone.
Since the bulk of a diamond ring
comes from the diamond itself , it will wiser to buy a separate diamond. By
buying a complete diamnod ring you won't know the breakdown of the cost and the
jeweler can set an arbitrary price.
Also , you can examine the diamond in
its entierty as the setting would hide part of the diamond and perhaps its
flaws. Also, a dimaond ring may come with a setting you may not like. You can
specify a specific setitng if you buy a loose diamond.
Find out whether the diamond you buy is treated. Clarity
in the diamond may be improved by filling up the cracks with moletn glass.
Laser can be used to burn a hole in the diamond to reach black blemishes . The
color of a diamond may be also be improved or changed by high pressure-high temperature annealing
and irradiation respectively. Ask the jeweler if the diamond has been treated.
If it is not, then reuqest for a certification of this fact. If you are on a
budget and intent to buy treated diamonds , find out whether the jeweler provide any warrantee for the treated diamond.
Don't simply buy a diamond casue of its weight . You need to consider other
aspcets as well. Which do you guess is better ? A bigger but poorer quality
diamond or a smaller but better quality diamond ? A lighter stone with a better cut is wroth more than a heavier but undercut stone. A diamond may weigh heavier cause it may be cut to maximize
its weight and size but it is not cut to its ideal proportion
that would bring out its fire and brilliance Also don't be misled into thinking the more facets a diamond has the better it is .
Nowadays you can find diamonds with over 70 facets being promoted as being
better than 57 facet daimonds but this is not true.
It is the diamond cut which
is the most important not the number of facets.
The diamond facets must be cut
with propotrion and fantastic symmetry. The diamond must be cut in such a way that
light is refracted out through the top of the table which gives it the sparkle
and brilliance and not through the paviilon and bottom. Many diamond shapes have
less facets than the brilliant round diamond but yet are as beautiful as the
ronud diamond such as emerald and princess cut diamond.Here is where you can find diamond jewelry at http://www.Alljewelry.Info/diamond.Html
