 4C's four characteristics that determine the quality of a diamond


Confidence in your jeweler

When you are ready to choose your diamond, selecting a professional jeweler that you have confidence in is of paramount importance. Choosing a competent professional in our field is as important as selecting a accountant, attorney or any other professional with whom you entrust your care. You need to ask yourself some important questions. Who is it that you are working with? Are they a professional or a meagerly trained sales clerk? How hungry are they for your business? Are they working on a sales commission? or absurd mark-ups? Any jeweler can show you beautiful diamonds from his inventory and give you prices. A professional jeweler won't insult your intelligence and knows you are making a very important purchase. Established retail jewelers pride themselves on their reputation and can show you the differences between various qualities of diamonds and how these differences affect the price they are asking. How is one to know if one is receiving real value? This is the dilemma that is posed in shopping for a diamond. To achieve the greatest value for dollars spent, ask yourself, is my jeweler willing to disclose every and all aspects of a particular diamond not just the 4C's?
