Shopping for a diamond can be a very scary thing. There are so many places you can go to, but how do you know you are getting what you pay for?
TRUST!
Trust in my business is probably the most important factor that should come into play. If you don’t trust the person you are working with, then you should not do business with them.
So, where do you find that trust?
There are the big chain stores that show you beautiful diamonds in their commercials, but when you go to their store you are typically shown lower quality diamonds so they can fit into a specific price point. You will probably be working with a salesperson who works on commission with very little knowledge of how a diamond is graded and is just reading the information off the ticket and spouting the sales pitch that they were trained in.
You can go to the local jeweler who has been around for many years and will get you a selection of diamonds to choose from. Many times they rely on their diamond dealers to tell them what the grading is, which can be suspect many times. With a storefront and many salespeople to pay, they have to have a large markup on their merchandise in order to pay their bills and their people.
You can go to the Diamond District in New York because a relative told you that’s the best place to go and they know someone down there. You really need to know what you are doing if you go there. Too many times I have seen people who were taken advantage of by unscrupulous dealers who are out to make a sale at any cost. They would hold back information regarding the diamond or not disclose a treatment or damage. This can be a very costly mistake. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t what they are telling you.
You can go online to one of the many diamond places selling pretty much from the same lot of diamonds. There is really nobody to explain diamonds and diamond grading to you so you are basically buying them sight unseen based on the documents they show you. How do you know what you are really getting? What recourse do you have if it isn’t what they say?
Many times, a diamond is one of your biggest purchases. You are paying a lot of money for something and you want to make sure you are being treated fairly.
