1) Supposing that all that you need to know in a diamond are disclosed in the certificate which value or price is justified by the certificate
Aside from the 4 C's,
most buyers prefer to evaluate the value of a stone by its depth and table
percentages. While these measures can be helpful to identify which stones are
properly cut, no one not even an expert can assure that a diamond is excellent by
merely looking on the numbers in the certificate. A cutter can apply an angle
shifting technique resulting in depth and table percentages that appear to be
right on the certificate but oppositely displayed in the actual stone. They can
always make a diamond "paper attractive". Hence, examining a diamond
in actual is very crucial before making a purchase.
2) Supposing that all
diamonds of similar color, clarity and cut grade are the same
GIA as one of the most
legitimate diamond graders in the industry has made its way in employing a new
cut grading system especially for round stones. But one cannot take GIA
grading as an absolute basis particularly on color, clarity and cut grading .
An excellent cut grade to GIA maybe just be a very good or good cut to another
diamond grader. Grading is always bound to a gemologist's subjective opinion.
Looking at the actual diamond and comparing it to
other ones of the same quality is so important in order to get the best stone.
3) Supposing that
everyone selling diamonds is a graduate gemologist
This is the most
significant question a consumer DON'T ask: "Are you a (GIA) Graduate
Gemologist?" This question should be thrown before making your
appointment with the diamond dealer. And since there are no federal or state
qualifications, licensing or training required for a diamond seller, a buyer
must ask to see their credentials. An office or store location also counts in
verifying the seller's credibility.
4) Supposing that color
and clarity are the major factors in determining the diamond price
Basing the value of a
diamond on color and clarity is a wrong perception. The biggest determining
factor in diamond pricing is the cut. Color and clarity grade of a diamond
affects the price range and usually overlaps. The cut alone can add as much as
50% difference in pricing for a particular color and clarity grading. Some
other flaws in the diamond material may also cause another 25% difference. With
these, it is clear that there can be about 75% variation in the pricing of two
diamonds of the same weight, color and clarity. A gemologist also considers
other characteristics of a diamond before making a judgment on the totality of
a diamond.
5) Supposing that
having a particular color and clarity grade and then looking for the lowest
price will lead to the best diamond.
Shopping for color and
clarity grades versus prices of diamonds in order to get the best value is not
always favorably effective to a buyer. More often, the lowest priced
diamond of good color and clarity has the lowest cut or with flaws in diamond
material, so one must be very careful for diamonds with "bargain
price"! Always be reminded that each grade combination falls under range
of prices so that you won't be victimized by a dealer whose stone seems to have
the "best price" but the most inferior in that grade class.
6.) Supposing that all
diamonds are well cut
This is another myth
that most buyers fall into trap. Statistic reports show that 95% of all
diamonds cut are not correctly proportioned. And this is mainly brought about
by the original shape of a rough diamond crystal. The further a diamond cutter
deviates from the ideal proportion pattern of a diamond, the more carat weight
he can be able to retain on the stone. This can be illustrated by a rough
diamond which, if cut to an ideal proportion, would turn into 0.90 carat weight.
But in order to achieve a bigger stone, a cutter can compromise the quality of
cut by keeping a 1.00 carat size stone through cutting it with a high crown and
deep pavilion. Consequently, this reduces the brilliance due to the angles of
the facets that are incorrectly done. The jeweler can then make the consumer
believe that the latter is getting a good deal of a 1.00 carat for the same
price of a 0.90 carat well-cut diamond.
7.) Supposing that
every diamond dealer has proper diamond grading standards
Bigger and better quality
stones must only be bought with a certificate from a well-established
laboratory such as GIA and EGL. But for smaller or lesser quality diamonds
normally set in pendants, tennis bracelets and stud earrings do not always come
with certificate, thus, making many dealers over grade the stones they are
selling for a higher price. It is advisable to extensively check the
credibility and reputation of a seller before buying the diamond.
