Does This Diamond Sparkle?

When buying a loose diamond, you naturally will want the best quality diamond that you can afford and a beautiful stone you will treasure forever especially if it is for an engagement ring. Before you buy a diamond you should view the diamond. A diamond certificate can only tell you so much. Nothing beats seeing the diamond in person!

Many jewellers and diamond dealers will use terms like Hearts and Arrows, Ideal, Excellent, Russian Cut, Belgium Cut, Fine Make and others to describe their diamonds, with the intention of portraying them as 'better' than others. Be wary of accepting these terms as is. They are especially dangerous when assigned to diamonds by the jeweler or diamond dealer themselves without third-party independent support such as a diamond certificate or diamond grading report.

When buying diamonds it is important that you do some research and have an understanding about diamonds, diamond certification, and the different standards that diamonds are graded by. While it might be possible to find certified diamonds with the same grade stated on a certificate that appears notably cheaper. As a potential diamond buyer you must be aware that there is no single set of parameters diamond laboratories grade to and every laboratory has a different set of standards. There is no such thing as cheap diamonds, if a diamond is advertised at a special price or seems to have a special price you should ask yourself why? There are no bargains in the diamond industry and there usually is a reason why one diamond is discounted or appears to be cheaper than another diamond.

Not all diamond grading laboratories are as well respected or as stringent in their grading as each other. The diamond certification laboratory or grading laboratory should be accredited, complaint and totally independent of the diamond dealer, jeweler or diamond retailer so that there is no conflict of interest or financial bias. Diamond Certificates are only of value when they are issued by an independent accredited diamond grading laboratory. You should always make certain that you check the credentials of the diamond grading laboratory who issued the diamond grading report or diamond certificate. If you have not heard of the laboratory, it could very well be associated in some way with the store, jeweler or diamond wholesaler itself, and so have a vested interest in aiding the sale.

We understand that when searching for the right diamond the task can at times be daunting and very confusing. Do not only compare diamonds by their price, it can often be false economy and you may not be buying a diamond that has the best quality or value. You should compare the diamond next to other diamonds so you can visually see the difference and see which diamond is visually brighter with the best sparkle, fire and light return.
