About Loose Diamonds - Buying Loose Diamonds
When shopping for loose diamonds it is extremely important that they are certified.
You can compare one certified loose diamond of a particular weight and quality with other certified loose diamonds of similar weight and quality to determine which certified loose diamond has the better value.
A diamond certificate allows you to make an informed choice when buying a loose diamond.
A diamond certificate is a blueprint of a loose diamond. A diamond certificate can also be called a diamond grading report or diamond dossier. The diamond certificate documents the diamond's exact measurements and weight, as well as the details of its cut and quality. It precisely points out all the individual characteristics of the stone, inclusions and any flaws.
Why Buy Certified Loose Diamonds
A certified diamond provides consumers with confidence, security and increases comfort levels while making a decision on which loose diamond to purchase. Before purchasing a loose diamond, you should expect to review a copy of its diamond certificate, as this is your only guarantee of the quality and value of that diamond.
A diamond certificate documents the characteristics of the diamonds quality, color, cut, clarity & carat weight which are verified by an independent company with no conflict of interest between buyer and seller.
Independently Certified Loose Diamonds
Independent certification is essential. It provides an accurate, unbiased description of the quality of the diamond and assures you that the diamond is natural and untreated.
The true test to evaluate a loose diamond is to view it in person and compare it with other loose diamonds. Nothing beats seeing a loose diamond in person to determine whether it is a 'good' diamond to your eye or not. Diamond appreciation is a very personal thing and different people will prefer different things about different diamonds. At the end of the day all the numbers and photos in the world mean nothing if you do not like the diamond in person.
Many jewellers and diamond dealers will use terms like Hearts and Arrows, Ideal, Excellent, Russian Cut, Belgium Cut, Fine Make and others to describe their diamonds, with the intention of portraying them as 'better' than others. Be wary of accepting these terms as is. They are especially dangerous when assigned to diamonds by the jeweller or diamond dealer themselves without third-party independent support.
This is why you should always, as a first priority, insist on an independent diamond grading certificate from an accredited laboratory to support any added claims about a diamond and why Diamond Imports strongly recommend diamonds that have been graded by DCLA, GIA, HRD or AGS.
Loose Diamonds come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours.
