Follow these suggestions to buy your first Diamond:

  • At first Set a Budget

An intelligent person always sets a budget before going shopping. If you have been planning to buy your first Diamond for quite some time now, put a budget or at least select a budget range. Moreover, a jewelry budget range might also help you buy more diamond jewelry where the total price comes to the max point of your budget.

  • Know about 4Cs of a Diamond

You might have seen how one Diamond looks different from another? While one might appear extremely colorless, the other stone could show some signs of color. It occurs due to the different characteristics these precious stones contain.

The 4Cs of a diamond: cut, color, clarity, and carat determine the use, price, shape, and toughness of the stone. A smart buyer should know all details about the 4Cs of the gemstone before buying.

  • Do Not Compromise on the Retailer

How do your research before going to a doctor? Put some effort and time into researching the jewelry retailer as well. It may help if you didn’t compromise on the Retailer to buy diamond stone accessories offline or online. A trustworthy store has a stable customer base, favorable policies for the shoppers, understandable return/exchange options, diamond grading certificates, and a dedicated customer service team.

  • Finalize Your Choice

You have a budget range, a verified jewelry retailer, and the basic customer knowledge about 4Cs of diamonds; there is all to do to finalize your jewelry choice. If you already have decided on buying a diamond stone studded bracelet, by all means, go for it. But if you want to buy your first Diamond regardless of the jewelry type, you can go for finger rings, earrings, or pendants, and these three make for a minimal and right choice for the first diamond jewelry.

  • Ask for Diamond Certification

A verified and trustworthy store will tell you everything about the Diamond you just bought. Its weight, overall length and breadth, anatomy, and more. But this is not enough; you must ask for the diamond certificate (GIA, IGI, SGL, DGLA) that specifies all these diamond stones characteristics with the issued agencies’ seal. A diamond certificate comes with each diamond purchase (it does not matter it is loose or in the jewelry), and you get to keep it along with your purchase.

  • Research More and More

There is never enough research when purchasing your first Diamond worth thousands. A diamond company suggests you research more and more about how to buy diamond jewelry and get all your doubts answered.

  • Look for Marks on Gold or Platinum or Silver

Diamond jewelry comes with base metal; the surface studded the stones. If the surface is gold, look for the BIS Hallmark sign. For platinum, look for the abbreviations ‘PT’ or ‘ PLAT’ followed by the numbers ‘999’ or ‘ 950’; these denote the purity of the platinum metal. If it is silver, different hallmarks present its authenticity. But usually, Sterling Silver markings indicate that silver is real.

8. Care for Your First Ever Diamond Purchase

Now, you have your first-ever diamond jewelry in your hand. After all the time-consuming research, you are the proud owner of a stunning diamond accessory. But now, you need to keep its shine and sparkle alive. Take good care of your diamond ornament, and clean it n a regular basis as its surface can lose its luster due to dust and oil settling. Follow these steps to take care of your purchase.

If still more doubts present in your mind, feel free to contact experts at Jewel Smiths and shoot your questions without any hesitation.
