Tips On Buying Loose Diamonds

By Dennis Artling


There are a lot of people who are besotted with the idea of purchasing loose diamonds that have next to no clue how to go about doing so. These people need to use a few handy tips if they are sincere on this issue. These tips are presented in the following paragraphs.

First, ask around any of your friends who have made such purchases in the past. They will be well placed to recommend a particular retailer to you. Conversely, they may also be able to advise you on who you should avoid at all costs.

You have to be realistic about what you are able to afford as well. Almost everyone would love to own the most expensive items, but only a few would be able to actually afford such items. So look at what the best is that you can afford to buy, and you should do well.

Try not to be too orthodox in adherence to the four C's which comprise item selection criteria (these being clarity, carat, color and cut). If you are too orthodox, you run the risk of missing out on some decent items. So do be flexible, while being mindful of the four C's nonetheless.

Finally, clarify that you know what you are getting. Make sure that all you have been told about the item checks out, that the price is fair in terms of market value, and that any insurance needed is valid. If all of these questions are answered satisfactorily, then you may proceed with this purchase without qualm.

To summarise, tips on purchasing loose diamonds are based on a number of issues. These are the views of your friends, the budget you are working with, an eye for appraising items flexibly and a proper evaluation of the purchase. The previous paragraphs present tips that address all of these issues.
