Working With Diamond Dealers
Buying diamonds can be an intimidating process if you are not quite sure how it all works. Even though there is a lot of information available today about different diamond dealers and how to get the best deal, you still want to make sure that you are picking out the best possible vendor to give you the quality and value that you deserve. Not only will you want to educate yourself on the 4 C's of diamond buying, but you also need to learn all that you can about how the industry works. This will help you find a reputable, honest and ethical dealer.
The best diamond dealer will always be able to offer you a certificate or the grading report for any diamond that they offer. You need to make sure that this is a certificate that comes from an independent, recognized laboratory such as HRD, DCLA, GIA or AGS. These diamond grading specialists use only the best and most advanced equipment and the strictest procedures to inspect their diamonds. Therefor, you know that you are getting nothing but the utmost quality for the money that you are investing.
When working with diamond dealers, you always want to pay attention to what they offer for certified diamonds and never go with one that tells you that there will be an additional charge for a certificate by an independent laboratory. Only reputable dealers will already offer this included in your diamond buying experience. If you ever, at any time, feel as though you are unsure of whether or not you can trust a dealer, you are best off shopping for your diamonds elsewhere.
All in all, you will find that taking your time to choose the right dealer to get your diamond(s) from will be the best way to ensure total quality for the money.
