CHOOSING RIGHT
Buying Diamond Jewelry
Diamonds are more than gems. They are memories. The diamond you choose has a significant meaning. Choosing the right stone can be daunting, but it’s important to have an idea in mind before making a purchase. As you go through the process, you will want to consider the following list of factors before making a final decision.
Purpose
What is the intended purpose of your future purchase? There is a wide range of diamond jewelry so it is important to keep in the mind the varying products available.
Price Range
It is best to begin the search with a set budget in mind. By doing extensive research before making a purchase, you will be able to narrow down your options. The price of each piece is dependent upon a number of factors including cut, color, clarity and carat.
Preference
Preference towards a specific style also plays a role in the search for the perfect piece. If you are shopping for another person and do not know what they prefer, there are a number of ways to acquire information that will help you make an informed decision. Family members and friends are ideal resources when looking for answers. Another option is to look at the recipient’s current style and wardrobe. If the individual is interested in classic pieces, it may be best to choose a princess cut or solitaire diamond.
