23:49
So you’re ready to pop “The Question.” Or maybe it’s a big anniversary, or maybe you just want to make an indelible impression on that special someone. Whatever the occasion, you’re going to buy a diamond. And, of course, it has to be perfect.
Keep these 10 factors in mind, and you can’t go wrong:
What are the 4 C’s of this stone?
All diamonds are graded on four key characteristics: Clarity, Color, Cut and Carat. Make sure your jeweller explains these and that you understand them.
Can you provide a grading report?
Your jeweller must be able to provide a certification from an independent gem lab, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certifying the quality of your diamond. Jewellers such as the Diamond Jewellery Studio can provide you with such grading report.
Is there a trained gemmologist I can speak with?
This allows you to feel more secure when getting answers to the first two questions, because you’re talking to an expert in gemology.
May I see the diamond magnified?
Your gemmologist will be explaining a lot. Make sure to view the diamond using his “scope” to really understand what he’s saying.
May I see a selection of diamonds?
You need options to find the perfect stone that falls into your price range. Don’t be afraid to ask for options.
What can you tell me about the setting?
Remember, you’re not just being the stone, you’re buying jewellery, and how the stone is presented is important, but often overlooked.
Do you offer a service plan?
Repairs can get costly. Ask if there’s a service plan for your purchase, it can save a lot in the long run.
What is your return policy?
Be wary of any studio that does not offer some period of time to ensure you're happy with your purchase.
Will you provide an appraisal?
Appraisals let you know the value of your purchase.
How should I take care of my diamond?
Make sure your jeweller explains how to protect your valuable investment.
Keeping these questions in mind during your search will not only ensure you make the perfect choice, but will guarantee it stays perfect for years to come.
