What to look out for while purchasing Pure Diamonds Buying diamond
jewellery Important Tips
Each genuine piece of jewellery, be it finger ring, earrings,
pendant, necklace or loose diamond stones comes with a certificate. Never
purchase a diamond , without this authenticity certificate, even from known
sources , without this certificate. Buying a certified diamond stone jewellery guarantees its authenticity
and also while resale is beneficial to have this knowledge about the genuinity
of the stone.
Each piece of
Branded diamond stone jewellery made with diamonds or semi precious stones is
one of a piece only and has its unique card of authenticity certificate. The
certificate is given while purchasing the jewellery and it will have the
details about the diamond clarity and cut, shape of the stone and the size
along with the photograph of the piece of jewellery.
Your diamond stone jewellery will come with an authenticity
certificate and this assures you the originality of the jewellery piece. Never
purchase diamond stones, loose, or in jewellery, without this certificate as
there is no guarantee about the clarity, cut and genuineness of the stone you
purchase. There are reputed gemmological institutes that assess the stones and
then certify them with a certificate.
The diamonds are
certified from gemmology institutes here and abroad. International Gemmological
Institute India. DGLA another reputed gemological institution, Diamond &
Gem Laboratories of America.
Some private institutes also certify the stones which I have no
experience of.
There are our
traditional jewelers who also bring up diamond stone jewellery but they only
give their own shop bill and then the clarity or genuineness of the stone is on
the reputation of the jeweller and your faith in them.
The private jewellers bring out costly diamonds and we also do not
get a certificate with this piece of stones studded in gold making it difficult
to assess the value of the diamonds. Yes they assure you that you can sell it
or exchange it from anywhere, but this becomes a problem as you loose out on a
higher percentage while exchanging it form any other jeweller. For the lay
person they just look likes sparkling stones in white and we just cannot assess
its vale or understand the price ranges.
Each certified
diamond jewellery certificate has the details of the jewellery piece with the image photograph of the original
piece you purchase. The certificate is a card which has details of the piece of
diamond jewellery you buy. Each certification institute differs in this card
but the details provided are according to certain criteria. Image, on one side you
see details like certificate number.
Then there is
shape, it be round solitaire, cushion, square, diamond shape, princess,
marquise, etc. Then there are also some pieces with many small diamonds
together, so the details will be printed on the certificate about the number of
stones and each ones size in carats. Stones are measured in cents and carats.
Total weight of gold, platinum or silver, sterling silver or any
metal is also written along with the carts, this is very important as diamond
stone jewellery usually never comes in 24 Carat ranges and is mostly from 18 to
22 carats. Color of the metal is also mentioned, yellow, white gold, rhodium
polish or any other polish over gold.
It is important to
preserve this certificate of authenticity in case you need to sell, exchange,
or make a higher bigger piece of jewellery purchase while giving this piece of
diamond stone jewellery. The clarity and carats, cut on the diamond stone helps
to bring out the sparkle and the more the sparkle, more the price! Thus bigger
the single diamond stone higher the price!

What I look for while purchasing diamond Jewellery-
1)
It is always advisable to buy from reputed certified jewelers who give a
genuine certified certificate about the diamond clarity, cut and size, carats
2)
Certified diamond stone jewellery
guarantees its authenticity and also while resale is beneficial to have this
knowledge about the genuinity of the stone
3)
One of a diamond jewellery piece only and has its unique card of authenticity
certificate, no duplicates.
4)
The private jewellers bring out costly diamonds and we also do not get a
certificate with this piece of stones studded in gold jewellery, making it
difficult to assess the actual value of the diamonds.
5) Image, you see details like certificate number, shape,
it be round solitaire, cushion, square, diamond shape, princess, marquise, etc.
Then there are also some pieces with many small diamonds assembled together, so
the details will be printed on the certificate about the number of stones and
each ones size in carats. Stones are measured in cents and carats.
6) Total weight of gold, platinum or silver, sterling silver or
any metal is also written along with the carts, this is very important as
diamond stone jewellery usually never comes in 24 Carat ranges and is mostly
from 18 to 22 carats. Color of the metal is also mentioned, yellow, white gold,
rhodium polish or any other polish over gold.
7) The clarity and
carats, cut on the diamond stone helps to bring out the sparkle and the more
the sparkle, more the price! Thus bigger the single diamond stone higher the
price!
8) For the love of solitaires! Yes that big stone finger ring, comes
with a much higher price! Gemstone jewellery designers have come up with a
unique idea, I have one diamond finger ring, which has tiny diamonds studded together
that look a complete whole, they look like a single big diamond! and what more
comes for a quarter price than a big solitaire!

But, nothing can replace the feelings of wearing a huge solitaire!
Nothing in the world can replace this! Solitaires have a majestic aura, a
glamour quotient of its own! No words to describe!
Hope this helps! All the Best from Rizwana!
