Buying Diamonds Online

With all of the potential for scams concerning diamonds, buying
diamonds online almost seems unthinkable! However, you actually
can purchase diamonds online, without any problems ? as long as
you are careful.

First, think about your reasons for wanting to purchase the
diamond online, as opposed to making a purchase from a local
jewelry store. The most common reason is price. Due to low
overhead costs, online jewelers and wholesalers are able to
offer lower prices. However, you must be careful ? sometimes a
price that is too low is a sure indication of a scam.

One of the best things about purchasing online is the unlimited
selection. When shopping offline, you are limited to the
selection in the stores in your general area. Online, there are
no limits. But again, you must use a great deal of care and
consideration before handing your money over to someone that you
cannot see and have never met!

Before shopping, learn as much as you can about diamonds ?
especially cut, color, clarity and carat weights. When you are
knowledgeable about diamonds, it will be harder for a con artist
to rip you off. Once you know more about diamonds, you will be
ready to start shopping.

Take your time. Don?t purchase the first diamond that you see
that interests you. Instead, look for similar diamonds for sale.
Do some comparison shopping to find the lowest prices. Once you
have found the lowest price, start doing your investigation. You
know about diamonds, you?ve found a diamond that you love, and
you?ve found the lowest price ? but you are still quite a ways
away from actually purchasing that diamond!

Ask about the seller?s credentials, such as professional jewelry
associations that they belong to. View and print the seller?s
return, refund, and upgrade policies. Also inquire about
additional services, such as settings and mountings, sizing, and
free shipping. Do a search for customer reviews on this
particular company around the Internet. Also check with the BBB
Online to see if there have been any complaints.

Ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory
such as GIA, HRD, EGL or AGS. You should see this before making
a purchase. Finally, use a reputable escrow service for high
dollar diamonds ? preferably one that will have the diamond
appraised while it is in their possession. The seller sends the
diamond to the escrow service, and you send the money to pay for
the diamond to the escrow service. The escrow service has the
diamond appraised, sends the diamond to you, and sends the money
to the seller. This is the surest way to protect yourself?again,
make sure that you use a reputable escrow service!
