📝 Tips Before You Buy
- Always check the certification: Certified diamonds should come with a report from an independent lab like GIA, AGS, or IGI so you know the exact cut, clarity, carat, and color.
- Compare prices and policies: Online retailers often have larger inventories and lower prices than local stores, but make sure return, warranty, and insurance options fit your needs.
- Understand the 4 Cs: Cut, color, clarity, and carat weight greatly affect both appearance and price. A good grading report is essential to compare stones accurately.
