Five Tips for Safe Diamond Buying on the Internet
Buying a diamond is an important investment. But purchasing a diamond on the Internet can be perilous, noted Joseph Schlussel, president of the Diamond Registry Inc. a wholesaler established in 1961, that serves consumers too since 1997 at diamondregistry.com.
“Diamond shopping on the internet can be confusing “They need to ask the right questtions"
Here are thetop five tips :
1. Make sure the site has experts that personally inspect each diamond.
Many sites that sell diamonds use listings from computer networks of diamonds and have them drop shipped from New York. No one personally inspects the diamonds.
“
Diamonds should be personally inspected to insure their quality,” “You want to make sure the color and clarity grades match the grading report, as there have been instances where stones don't match their ‘certificate.’”You are buying a Diamond not a paper."
2. Watch out for diamonds that have been treated, as this can significantly decrease the diamond’s value.
Common treatments are:
Fracture-filling is when a glass-like substance is injected into the cracks of a stone to artificially improve its clarity. It is reversible.
Laser-drilling is when the stone is drilled to remove its black imperfections.
High pressure-high temperature annealing is artificially improving a diamond’s color.
3. Buy from well-established diamond experts.
“If you buy from a site that also sells everything soap and perfume, you will not get the same quality, or value as when you buy from someone who specializes only in diamonds.
“A site of a long-established genuine wholesale company gives you a sense of security.
4. Buy from members of the leading trade organizations.that forbid dealing in “conflict diamonds” and mandate that any treatment be disclosed
5. Make sure the diamond is appraised by an independent appraiser who does not trade in diamonds.
