Common Diamond Purchasing Mistakes

Top 10 Things To Avoid When Purchasing A Diamond

It is better to know the diamond before you buy. Contact a certified Gemologist for professional purchasing assistance. 

  1. Buying on price or a discount
  2. Purchasing a diamond online
  3. Assuming a diamond can be purchased without professional guidance
  4. Making a decision without having the right selection to choose from
  5. Purchasing without a guarantee or certification
  6. Shopping on laboratory reports alone
  7. An appraisal is not a grading report
  8. Not getting to know your diamond (see below)
  9. Purchasing without comparing diamonds together
  10. Shopping without being educated about the 4C’s

Buying an engagement ring with a pre-set diamond blindly  is not the best way to purchase the ring she will cherish forever. Below is a list on why it is important  to purchase your diamond in person.

  • Compare diamond size, color, clarity, and cut side by side.
  • Look at the diamonds under magnification
  • See the diamond in a laboratory environment.
  • In person purchases significantly lower the chance of being defrauded.
  • Most on-line dealers are just that, dealers. They match up buyers and sellers and never see the actual diamonds until after they are sold.
  • When you look at a list of diamonds, there is no way for you to see the subtle differences in color and it’s effect on the look of the diamond.
  • There is no way to compare the total sparkle and light return between two SI1 graded diamonds unless they are sitting side by side in front of you.

Proposal Idea: Online Romance

After years of blinds dates and the bar scene, I finally took the online leap. I joined a well-known online dating website and started to understand what all the hype was about.  With the ability to filter prospects by personality traits, likes and dislikes, age, even height, I found myself “shopping” for a partner.  It’s like buying a pair of shoes, what could be better?

Though not everyone I found was compatible, I did find a gem in the rough. We started corresponding and I found myself smiling as the “you have mail” message hit my inbox.  Emails swiftly moved to phone calls and then it became a reality when we met for dinner.  There was a click from the moment we sat down! He was funny, intelligent and thoughtful and I found myself looking forward to seeing him again.

We have been dating for over a year now.  This Christmas I received the best gift ever.  Zach took me out for a nice holiday dinner, yet to my surprise, we walked into an empty restaurant with a single table, lit with candles and rose peddles were everywhere.

My heart began to pound and my palms started to sweat, Zach knelt down on one knee and asked me to marry him.  My smile has never left my face.

Proposal Idea: Falling For The Chef

Mitch and I met in our final year at culinary school. We struck up a conversation one day after class and which ended with him asking me to dinner.  I reluctantly agreed and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Our relationship just ” felt right” from the moment it started and we knew that we were meant to be with each other.  As I tell my friends, “When you know, you know”. We had been dating for a little over a year when we decided to move into together and making plans for our future.

One afternoon we were getting ready for a family BBQ and Mitch asked me to run upstairs and grab his “BBQ shoes” – and yes, he has BBQ shoes.  As I headed down the stairs, BBQ shoes in hand, Mitch kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stairs and holding an open ring box.  I was so surprised by the moment that I actually fell down the last few steps, landing on Mitch.  As we laughed, he asked “I guess that’s a yes?”

It’s been over 10 years since that day and we still laugh about that story.  Not only did it change our lives forever but it still makes us a little windy when we recall that day.  I literally fell for my chef…and I continue to fall in love with him more every day.
