Be a Smart Buyer

• Buying a high-end jewelry or more specifically
  Diamond jewelry online is a risky task but the
  number of consumers opting for this is growing at
  an accelerating rate.
• It is imperative for you to be a smart buyer
  when you are buying diamonds online. Here we are
  sharing a few secrets of buying diamonds online.
• Let's have a look

Choose the Right Dealer for You

• It is very convenient for the consumers to shop
  for diamonds while sitting at home in your
  pyjamas. But the authenticity of the retailer is
  the only trust building factor when it comes to
  online shopping especially for such a huge
  investment.
• It is not difficult to build and put up a
  website displaying pictures of fabulous diamonds
  with great prices to lure customers. There have
  been fraud cases registered in the past.
• Thus, always go for the trusted brands when
  buying online. Do some research and take opinion
  from friends and even strangers on public forums
  to get an authentic dealer.

Study the Different Setting, Styles and Metal
Choices Available

• You can choose the best style and setting in
  your budget for the fabulous piece of diamond
  jewelry you are looking forward to buy.
• The diamond specifications required for
  different jewelry changes accordingly. So before
  you start looking for the right diamond for you,
  just look at the kind of jewelry you want to buy.
  
• For example, the diamond required for a ring is
  different from the one for a pendant or earrings.

Certified Diamonds A Better Choice

• With an authentic dealer, it is also important
  to make sure the authenticity of the diamond.
  This can be ensured by a reputable and legit
  certification.
• You need to be careful with the plenty of bogus
  certification from fraudulent gemmology labs
  claimed by many sites.
• Two of the most trusted labs in the American
  diamond industry are an American Gem Society
  (AGS) and the Gemological Institute of America
  (GIA)

The 4 Cs of Diamond

• Even though you can not check the diamonds with
  your own hands before buying, you can always
  check for the 4 Cs, that is, the cut, clarity,
  color and carat weight in the product
  specifications of the jewel.
• You can look for the best possible diamond with
  the highest quality in your budget. Make sure to
  check the availability of your choice of diamond
  jewelry at multiple sites.
• You may get the same thing at a significantly
  lower price at some of the dealers.

8
Save on the Carat Price

• Many a times a point change in the carat weight
  of the diamond does not make it look any
  different but can bring the price down
  significantly.
• For Example, let say the 0.9 Carat diamond looks
  very much similar to the 1 Carat diamond. But,
  there is a significant difference in the costs of
  the two.
• So it might be a better idea for you to save
  your money with a smarter choice.

9
Clarity and Color How much is Enough?

• You can buy the diamond with the utmost clarity
  and highest color category. But, most of the
  times you can get the brilliant sparkle even with
  a lower grade of diamond.
• The diamonds falling under a little lower
  category of the color and clarity can give you
  all you want without any visible flaw.
• You can actually go for H-J color grade with a
  Round-cut diamond or G-I with Emerald and
  Asscher-cut diamond, against the highest color
  grade D.

10
A Good Deal or a Fake Deal?

• You do not get to compare the diamonds side
  by side or even see the one you have bought until
  you receive the overnight home delivery of your
  buy
• It is even more important to think rationally
  and decide if the promised quality and carat
  weight can be priced as low as the price tag
  says.
• Dont fall for the unbelievable discount deals
  blindly, as not everything that sparkles is
  diamond.

11
Know the Diamond Glossary

• While browsing for Diamond jewelry, you
  might have read some words which are quite
  confusing. It is good to know the language used
  in the industry.
• Words like blemish, brilliance, cleavage,
  clouds, inclusion, table etc have an altogether
  different meaning in the world of diamonds than
  its literal meaning.
• It is advised to study the glossary to
  understand the diamond better.

12
Lucrative Offers and Cash Back

• There are plenty of discount offers and stock
  clearance sales available online at any given
  point of time. You can look for some good offer
  and plunge into the deal to avail the diamond
  jewelry at a very good price. You just need to
  make sure that the dealer is trustworthy.
• There are also a few online retailers who
  provide money back guarantee in case you do not
  find the diamond as per your order. You might
  have to pay for the shipping and restocking fee,
  but it is still much lesser than the value of the
  diamond jewelry you paid for.

13
Diamonds A Good Investment or Not?

• The price of diamond has not gone down for many
  years, so you are unlikely to get any loss when
  you sell your diamond jewelry after a few years.
• But, there is no guarantee of the return on your
  money invested in diamond. Thus, buy diamonds as
  a symbol of beauty and love for eternity but not
  as an investment to get ROI.

14
Shipping Insurance and Refund Policy

• The shipping of diamonds through mail is not
  always safe and the delivery of the diamonds
  safely can not be promised.
• Thus, it is better to look for an online
  retailer which provides shipping insurance and
  provides replacement or refund in case of any
  mis-happening.
• Be very sure to clarify your doubts regarding
  the refund and replacement policy with the dealer
  in advance.

15
Consult with An Independent Appraiser

• In order to insure the diamond you have bought,
  you will need to get it appraised by an
  independent appraiser, who can give you the exact
  value of the diamond.
• It might be a better option to get the diamond
  appraisal done before you make your payment with
  the help of the given diamond blueprint by the
  dealer. It may help you to ensure if the value
  you are paying an appropriate amount for the
  diamond.
