You must understand that gemstones, especially high quality gemstones, that seem to be identical may have a wide range in value.
To
be certain about the four C's, the best way is to have the G. I. A./ H.R.D/Gübelin
report because they are impartial in the examination of the stone.
You
must also be certain that the report is related to the stone and therefore
you need someone independent with a trained eye to view it under 10- power
magnification and with specialized equipment in order to confirm the stone
is really the one described by the laboratory, before buying and paying :
it is especially true for on line internet offers because if upgraded stone what
can you do when you receive it ?
Specialists
of the diamond market say 90 % of all jewelers are not transparent at all,
because it is easier and more profitable to sell diamond to consumers (who have
no knowledge about the four C's and actual price ranges) without giving
too many technical explanations. On the other hand, it is not always easy to
tell the jeweler, even with a certificate, you intend to check the stone near a
gemmologist before paying which shows no confidence in his integrity. And you
must not lose sight of your stone during examination by the gemmologist !
You
have to be conscious that you always get what you pay for. Being an
international market you can only obtain fair prices, not bargains ( or
there is a trick ) despite all words to convince you otherwise.
Wholesale
prices without taxes :
The
simplest way to control the right wholesale prices is to call 2 or 3 jewelers of
good reputation and ask them for the price they can sell a diamond taken in the
Data Base below with the indicated 3 C's and good make for cutting with good or
very good proportions ( % Depth and % Table ). ( A friend of yours has given
some informations and advises about the characteristics you want for any reason
).
Generally,
they will not have it in stock and propose you another one or to ask their
wholesaler. Either way, ask the jeweler whether the stone you are interested in
has a lab certificate and if it doesn't, ask if he would mind certifying it. You
must also indicate that the final sale will be contingent upon the opinion of an
independent appraiser : it is the only way to be quite certain about
diamonds characteristics that are so important for fair price.
You
shall see quickly the prices they offer, (if you are very firm about grades and
cutting, lab certificate and appraiser you require), and find the below prices
are really wholesale prices.
