Important Don’t and Do in Buying Cheap Diamonds

Many people believe that cheap diamonds are not worth the money paid for these gemstones, not to mention that the recipient may most likely be insulted by the giver being such a tightwad. Besides, there’s always synthetic diamonds made from cubic zirconia that look just like the real deal and at lesser prices, too.

Don’t Settle for Second-Best

But why settle for the synthetic kind when you can have the best of the real deal? Just because cheap diamonds are advertised as being, well, affordable does not automatically mean that these are of grossly inferior quality. The secret lies in using the 4 Cs of diamond grading to your advantage. Of course, we cannot overemphasize the importance of choosing a reliable jeweler when buying cheap diamonds. The diamonds must still be certified by industry organizations like the Gemological Institute of America in relation to its carat, cut, clarity and color. Seferian Diamonds, an online jeweler with a physical showroom in Melbourne, is one of the most reliable jewelers in Australia and, thus, comes highly recommended to anyone interested in buying diamonds.

Know the Secrets of the 4Cs

Your next step is to know how to use the 4 Cs of grading diamonds to your advantage when buying cheap diamonds. There are trade secrets that jewelers will not tell buyers but which the staff of Seferian Diamonds will let you in on. Keep in mind that each diamond is rated according to these 4 Cs. Thus, the better its cut, clarity, color and carat, the more expensive a diamond will be. However, at the higher ranges, the differences are indiscernible to the naked eye. Unless your recipient is armed with both the knowledge to grade gemstones and the appropriate instruments, you can buy cheap diamonds and your recipient will be none the wiser that you saved wads of money on your gift.

A few of the trade secrets for buying cheap diamonds are:

• Carat – Diamonds are more expensive when their weight reaches the full carat mark with substantial increases with each carat thereafter. The difference in appearance between a 0.9-carat diamond and a 1-carat diamond is negligible but the former is substantially lower than the latter in terms of price. We suggest going for the 0.9-carat cheap diamonds for your engagement and wedding rings instead.

• Color – Diamonds are rated according to their color – or more appropriately, to their lack of color. In general, a colorless diamond is considered rarer and, hence, more expensive than their colored counterparts, all other things like carat, cut and clarity being equal. We suggest going for good-quality cheap diamonds rated as G because this is almost colorless – it has a very slightly yellow color. A diamond rated as F is considered colorless but is considerably more expensive than G despite the fact that the difference between the two is invisible to the naked eye.

• Clarity – This is where the apparent flawlessness of cheap diamonds and the real flawlessness of expensive diamonds come in. To the naked eye, a diamond rated as SI1 has no difference with another diamond rated as VVS2 although the latter is disproportionately more expensive than the former.

• Cut – Look for the quality of the cut instead of the type of cut itself when looking for cheap diamonds. If the diamonds have an inner fire despite its small size, then these are the better buy than large diamonds without an inner brilliance.

Again, we suggest visiting Seferian Diamonds’ physical showroom in Melbourne to choose from a wide range of good quality but cheap diamonds.
