There are infinite possibilities to consider when it comes to buying that speical diamond. In the first place you should do a little research. Know what your woman likes and then start your journey. Get some knowledge and understand of some of the standards in the industry and take a look at the GIA diamond guide. [gview file=”https://bertonijewelry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/LAB_4cs_brochure_US_English-2.pdf”] Then you have a basic understand of the basic 4 C’s that the industry has developed to determine a rating system for the quality of any diamond. Blue Nile will also give you an approximation of the type of diamond you can get for the budget you have determined. Just remember every stone is different and no two stones are the same! You should also determine what you can afford. There are diamonds with and without certifications as well. If you want a certified diamond it will cost a little extra rangeing about $100-$250. Some diamonds are not certified, but can be sent out for certification, if you so desire. When purchasing more expensive diamonds, insurance companies my want both certification and appraisals. I would save the receipt with your paperwork as well. The same goes for an appraisal. If you want an appraisal, you should go to an independent appraiser not a retailer who has something invested in the process.
If you have an idea of what you are looking to spend, then when you go to buy a diamond you will see what quality you will get for the amount you can afford. If you decide the quality is not good enough, then maybe you want to wait and save a little bit before purchasing the diamond of your dreams. On the other hand, some people don’t really care about the quality they just want a stone that has a decent presentation and will make a beautiful piece of jewelry. Some people just see a stone and feel somehow connected to it and that is fine too. There really is no right way for everyone.
I recently made an engagement ring for someone that said the most important thing was the shape and the color, not necessarily the quality or value of the stone. I would say go with what you like and what you can afford rather than breaking the bank to get the highest quality most expensive diamond you can’t afford!
