Loose Diamonds

One of the hottest trends out there right now isn't the bubble dress that just strutted off the runway at New York Fashion Week or the miracle diet that appeared on national television last month claiming that you will lose 15 pounds by just watching the add Nope. The hottest thing right now is buying loose diamonds. Huh? You heard correct: buying certified loose diamonds.

Ever heard of it? If not, that’s okay. We can tell you all about it, and you don’t have to be some fancy jeweler or rich playboy to get in on the action. All you need is a computer and a willingness to invest in your future. That being said, let’s start with some light Internet searching. We want you to educate yourself on diamond qualities: i.e. the 4 C’s.

After you've done this, you’re ready to start looking at diamonds. Start by looking at reputable companies who offer guaranteed return policies and certified gemology reports. This is a good indication that you’re dealing with a trustworthy site. Read reviews to be even more certain. Once you've chosen a company, start looking through their inventories for the rock you want (this is where those 4 C’s will come in handy).

When you receive your diamond, take it immediately to be appraised and evaluated by a gemologist - a second-opinion if you will. This will assure you that you got exactly what you paid for. Now you can take your rock to be set by a professional jeweler for an engagement ring, or hold onto it for investment purposes. Either way, you win.
