Know the value of jewellery persistance could
get you the best price

• Know-how is important, but if you dont know much
  about jewelry
• make sure you know
• about the jeweler.

3

• If like many, your family is fond of jewelry and
  looks at it as an investment you most certainly
  need a jeweler who can help you get the best
  quality and the best deal.
• In case you do not have a lot of knowledge about
  jewelry it's perfectly okay to ask, ask the
  jeweler but know the little tricks to make sure
  hes not fooling you.
• Do not walk into the store unprepared, and if you
  do make sure you walk out empty handed. If youre
  just going in to browse do not give up all that
  money the very first time.

4

• See what you like and collect all the information
  and let the jeweler navigate this time.
• Next time be prepared and make sure to have
  already examined similar options in the same
  price range elsewhere.
• I get it you really want to but from that store
  and that fine but dont let them know that. Buy
  from them but make sure youre not getting duped
  specially on price and the diamond quality.

Certification

• Credentials of jewelers are important, do not
  doubt that.

6

• You want to put your trust in someone who knows
  what hes talking about. Make sure the jeweler
  you go to is certified, he should have the right
  credentials and honestly should never have a
  problem showing it when asked.
• Jewelers usually follow a code of ethics and do
  not follow any malpractices. In this economy
  being smart about an investment this big is wise.
  Your jeweler will rather should have training in
  gemology.
• Honestly if they dont know the difference how
  could you? Choose wisely. If there is one thing u
  walk out of there from apart from looking glam is
  Certificates.

7

• Accept certification only from acclaimed labs
  like IGI or GIA and do not forget the BIS
  hallmark for the gold used. Do not absolutely
  ever underestimate the certification.
• Insist on it and bring it up every time in the
  conversation which buying jewelry.
• The jewelry business has one lifeline and that is
  trust, ethics is a choice they make early on and
  if hes not trying to dupe you he will provide
  the certificate upfront and insist on checking it
  out online. Most jewelers have no trouble
  allowing you to go to a gemologist, trust them.

8

• Always remember asking for a price Break-up is
  important, make sure you know the amount of gold
  that is being used and the price according to the
  weight.
• The diamond price differs with respect to its
  clarity and color make sure you collect that
  information too. Ask them what is the per carat
  rate that they are charging and understand about
  the labor charges per gram too.
• In fact if it helps educate yourself about the
  set gold price of the day and market value of a
  diamond of the characteristics you are going for.

Comparison

• This is rather essential, you wont be strutting
  out to buy a new diamond everyday so compare.

  diamond rate or even the labor charges.
