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.
But how do you shop for diamond jewelry online with confidence?
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.
