Diamonds and diamond rings purchase guide:

At Diamonds and Co. we are determined to help you choose best diamond rings available on the market place to-day. The question that many prospective buyers are frequently asking when looking for a diamond ring  is how to get that diamond ring that they really want and stay within their budget.

Of course, if you are on an unrestricted budget then you might decide that you would just buy a really big diamond of a D/Flawless grade that has an ideal make. Nevertheless, finding the right diamond ring for most of us is really a matter of discovering the factors that would best respond to our needs, both financial and emotional.

Here are some tips that would help you buy diamond rings:

1. When buying diamonds, you should go for sparkle and color first.

Yes, if you are torn between liveliness, clarity grade, color or size, give up on the clarity grade.  People will always notice the color and size first, and then the liveliness. On a restricted budget you would be better off with a diamond that has the most excellent color and the liveliest personality. Remember, visually it is impossible to distinguish between a well-cut 1-carat D/SI₂ diamond and a well-cut 1-carat D/Flawless diamond. Another thing to remember, clarity grade does not determine the  brilliance and liveliness of a diamond, although its proportioning and the way it is cut does.

A well-cut stone possesses more sparkle, that is more "fire" and brilliance, than any other gemstone. This is why you should never compromise on the stone's make. Buy diamond rings with stones that are cut exceptionally well, a stone that would dance in front of your eyes. Consider going down on the color grade a bit in return for the finest "make", or decrease the stone's size a little.

2. At Diamonds and Co. we always say that a little disparity in points makes a very huge difference in price.

The price of a stone would significantly increase once it has reached the full one-carat weight. Therefore, search for a stone that weighs 90 points ( there are 100 points in a carat). Once set, only a small number of people would notice the variations between a full 1-carat diamond and a 90-pointer. For instance, a fine 1-carat diamond (graded G/VS₁) could sell for $9,000, but the similar quality stone weighing 90 points will cost only $7,500.

When buying diamond rings, beware of stones that are too "spread" (cut to appear bigger). These diamonds normally lack the sparkle and brilliance of a well-cut diamond. You might be happy with the size but not with the sparkle. In the end, you deserve a diamond that can reveal the full beauty.

Classic Diamond Shapes:

Heart	Marquise	Round Brilliant	Pear	Oval	Emerald

3. Considerations for the color grade selection.

The white diamond D-color is the most expensive and the hardest to find. Stones graded D to H are placed into the "white" range by most color scale systems, plus those graded I and J are called "slightly tinted". K and L grades can be graded "tinted white" as well, but you might more effortlessly spot the tint. The M to Z grades are classified as "off-white" or "tinted color", as well as look brownish white or yellowish.

Having said that, you should understand that the disparity in price between E- and D-color can be significant, albeit both are called "white" diamonds. For instance, D/Flawless 1-carat diamond may cost $30,000, while the same quality diamonds if they were E-color could only cost $20,000.

Once a diamond has been set, one would not be able to distinguish between colors F, E, and D, unless you compare the diamonds by placing them next to each other.

4. The ring setting's color can make the diamond look whiter.

For people on  a restricted budget, Diamonds and Co. recommends that you consider setting your stone in platinum or white gold when you buy diamond rings. This would make the stone appear whiter than the reality is as the white color of the metal would be replicated in the diamond and would conceal the yellow tint, making the stone appear whiter.

5. Flaws do not spoil the beauty of the stone as much as you think.

They definitely would add beauty, particularly when you are on a budget. Remember, one cannot normally see flaws with the naked eye in a set diamond until the I₁ classification. Therefore, while you do need to know the grading of the flaw of your diamond just to make sure you are not overpaying, this is the factor that you can forgo the most without sacrificing the exquisiteness of the stone.

New Contemporary Diamond Shapes:

Classic Radiant	Gabrielle Oval	Crisscut	Asscher	Quadrillion	Lucida

6. Round diamond shapes are not the only shapes you should consider.

Even though the round-shaped diamonds  reveal the stone's utmost attractiveness, it usually appears smaller than stones cut in some other shapes. More and more women to-day are looking for other diamond shapes when they want to buy diamond rings. For instance, marquise-shaped or pear-shaped diamonds generally  appear larger than round diamonds.

7. Instead of buying one large diamond think about designs that use several small stones.

The price per carat would be lower, the smaller your chosen diamonds. For instance, a solitaire ring with 1-carat round brilliant cut diamond may be priced at $5,000, while a ring with three stones with a total weight of 1 ct may sell for only $2,500. Therefore, look for innovative designs in multi-stone rings.

8. Bold designs in platinum and gold can add uniqueness and importance to small diamonds.

Using wider, contemporary designs in metal can produce a very striking look, while, at the same time, using smaller diamonds as well as larger stones.

9. Listen to what your heart is telling you.

You should feel the excitement. If you in fact favor yellow gold, do not allow other people convince you to buy platinum. If you actually like the pear-shaped diamonds, don't go for the round, just because someone else said so.

Diamond Clarity Chart - have you ever been wondering about the meaning of Diamond Clarity and why it is necessary in the first place? Then read on. Let's first have a look at the definition: The clarity of a diamond means exactly how clear diamond are. It explains the absence or presence of any flaws and inclusions within the diamond itself or any other possible blemishes on the surface of a diamond. These flaws and inclusions interrupt the way the light flow in the diamond as some light reflection would be lost and the clarity of the diamond would then decrease.

Diamond Clarity Chart and The Quality of the Diamond

When you are deciding on the quality of a diamond, you first look at the Diamond Clarity, which is one of the 4Cs of Diamonds' grading (the rest are: carat weight, color, and cut). This is all that you need to consider when thinking about the quality of a diamond. Here are some thing that may affect the quality of the diamond and particularly its relative clarity: the number of locations and visibility inclusions and other blemishes in a diamond, colors, and sizes. A special system to grade diamond clarity has been developed as the majority of Diamond Inclusions may not be visible to a human eye. Therefore, the Diamond Clarity Chart details the different types of diamond clarity grades.

Bailey Banks & Biddle was founded back in the day in the city of Philadelphia by two silversmiths who only owned $26 worth of Jeweller's tools when they started the business. Almost two centuries later, the Company has become one of the best known names in the jewelry business in the US. Over the years the Company's ownership has changed hands many times, but what remained was its commitment to assisting people celebrate life's most important milestones.

Bailey & Kitchen, as the Company has once been known, was founded in 1832 and set among the heritage houses of the first settlers of Philadelphia. The Company has evolved over the centuries to turn into  Bailey & Co. in 1841, and then into Bailey Banks & Biddle in 1878, building itself a reputation for outstanding quality, starting from fine workmanship in many metals and mediums to famous original designs to silver goods.

At the end of the 20th century the US Government has commissioned Bailey Banks & Biddle to modernize the Great Seal of the United States. This updated designed still remains the official version of the seal. Many of the military medals that in use to-day have been designed by the Company, including such medals as the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and, of course, the Medal of Honor.

A Texas- based company Zale Corporation that has taken over Bailey Banks & Biddle back in 1962 decided to take the reputable Philadelphia Jeweler's stores to consumers around the U.S. Eventually, Zale launched hundreds of  Bailey Banks & Biddle stores in many cities, passing the tradition of customer service, quality, and knowledge to customers around the country.

In the present day, the famous Company is entering its 3rd century in business, surviving through some toughest times and thriving in the best. It re-emerged as America's leasing fine jeweler, which was a welcomed development for those of you familiar with the form's long-standing and impeccable reputation for delivering high-quality jewelry to the luxury market.

Founded in 1971, Shane Company has been recognized by consumers as one of the U. S. foremost independent Jewelers. But many experts indicate the Shane family excelled in the jewelry and Diamonds industry long before that.

Charles Shane has bought his first Fine Jewelry store in 1929 the city of Cleveland, Ohio. This was the year when the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began. Back then, it was difficult for everyone to do any business, but for the jewelry business it was almost impossible. However, Charles managed to persevere through this incredibly difficult time in the American history due to his commitment to customer service, value and quality.

His son Richard Shane, joined the family business after he finished his military service in 1945. In the next decade he turned a single Jewelry Store into the largest jewelry chains in the Midwest.

The current owner of the Shane Company, Tom Shane, started his own jewelry business in 1971. He managed to incorporate his grandfather's and father's dedication to customer service, value and quality, as well as giving his customers an exclusive educational opportunity.  His vision was to ensure that the Company's clients had sufficient knowledge about the jewelry options available to them so that they could make accurate buying decision.

Looking back, the Shane Company has experienced a tremendous growth. Yet as the Company grew certain elements of their business remained the same:

Samuels Jewelers, once known to its patrons as "The House of Lucky Wedding Rings," was founded in 1891. The legend had it that if you happened to purchase your engagement or Wedding Ring from Samuels, you would be married forever (find Big Diamonds here).

Here's another interesting fact: on February 15, 1915 the Jeweler Albert Samuels has installed a 20-foot tall, four-sided clock (later became known as Samuel's Clock) in front of his main store close to Market and 5th to honor the opening of the Panama-Pacific Expo. In 1941 The House of Lucky Wedding Rings has moved across the street to the Flood Building taking the clock with it. It's still stands there to-day.

Albert Samuels opened his first store  in 1891 in San Francisco, and this is where the 100-year old tradition of serving Fine Jewelry customers began. The last two stories of the 3-story building on Market Street was occupied by more than 40 jewelers who were very busy designing and then expertly creating fine jewelry according to the most exacting standards. All of the first floor housed the Samuels diamonds store showcasing the results of the craftsmanship of the master jewelers. (Explore Wedding and Engagement Rings here).

Samuel Jewelers always felt that the most fine jewelry meant absolutely nothing without most excellent customer service. The story has it, there was a time when Albert Samuels discovered that one of his customers had been unintentionally overcharged for some minor routine repair. Somehow, he did not know the name of his customer, and, therefore, had to apologize publicly through the San Francisco Chronicle. Albert ended his letter pleading with the customer to return to the store to get back her dollar.

Nowadays, the company is committed to the same principles of customer service excellence, value and quality established by its first owner more than 100 years ago.

Today, we are committed to preserving the principles of quality, value and customer service excellence established by our founder over 100 years ago.

The GIA system as presented on the picture below is the most widely used in the U.S. So, I will use it to explain the Diamond Clarity Chart and its effect on the diamond value.

On the GIA scale, F or FL is the diamond grade that is assigned to the stone provided that it has no visible flaws, external or internal, when observed under 10-power magnification. Only a highly qualified Jeweler, lab technician, or gemologist would be able to determine this grade. If you decide to use a loupe to examine the diamond yourself, just remember that it is almost impossible for an experienced person to notice any flaws or blemished that would be easily spotted by the experienced gemologist, dealer, or jeweler. If you are new to this, you may not be able to see any flaws at all even in SI grades. Therefore, a correctly proportioned, colorless, flawless stone, particularly in a 1-carat size or lager, is very rare and would be priced much higher than any other grade. Many Jewelers would even tell you that there is no such thing available to-day.

IF is the diamond grade on the diamond clarity chart assigned to a stone that has no internal flaws and the one that has only minor external blemishes that could be easily get rid of with polishing. We are talking about such flaws as girdle roughness, small pits (but not on the table) or nicks. These Diamonds, in well-proportioned makes, are very rare and would cost you accordingly, normally much higher than other grades.

VVS₁ and VVS₂ are diamond grades given to stones that have very rare internal flaws, that are difficult to spot even for a qualified observer. These grades would also be very difficult to get, and, of course, you could only buy them at a premium.
Wedding and Engagement Rings
VS₁ and VS₂ are diamond grades given to stones with very tiny inclusions, that are difficult for a qualified jeweler to notice. However, these diamonds are more readily available in nice cut and color, and you can't see their flaws unless you are using a jeweler loupe. These would be excellent diamonds to buy.
