There is nothing quite like a gift that sparkles, shines and glitters in the light, one that you can take everywhere and anywhere you go and be sure to be the envy of every passer-by, so when you present your lover with a diamond ring, you can be sure that they are going to be swept off their feet.
Nonetheless, there is always the danger that you may get ripped off; in any industry that involves large amounts of money for small, precious items there are always going to be some people in the business looking to take advantage of you. Imagine your loved one's disappointment, (not to mention your own!) at discovering that the glorious gift that you have given them was in fact a fake and not even worth a fraction of what you had shelled out for it.
Luckily, there are ways in which you can protect yourself against the emotional and financial damage that such a con can incur, safeguarding against this unfortunate occurrence. To prevent you from being the next victim of a scamming trickster, follow some sage advice that may.
The first piece of advice is the most obvious, yet the most important: find someone who you can trust. Ask previous customers about their satisfaction, research their name on the internet, basically do as much background searching that you can before parting with your hard-earned cash.
Any jeweller unwilling to proffer an authenticity certificate for their diamond rings, which is a vital piece of information should be avoided like the plague. You should make contact with the issuing body if you are unsure about the actual authenticity of the certificate.
One should always check the cut of the diamond; it is easier if you have some background or expertise in the industry, or know an acquaintance who can lend a hand, (or eye!), yet in lieu of this, simply see which cut you like the best and assess which diamond rings sparkle the most, as this can often reflect the best cut.
Be wary of coloured diamonds that the jewellers claim not to have treated; naturally coloured diamonds are extremely expensive because of the fact that they are very rare. You may have discovered a rare bargain, however it is much more likely that the stones have been treated at some point in the manufacturing process.
A good idea is to get it valued by another jeweller straight away, if you have made the decision to purchase your diamond ring; this way you will find out immediately if you have been conned. It is important to make sure you are getting what you pay for, yet don't let all this put you off splashing out on a diamond ring for a loved one, just be as careful as possible.
