Everything you need to know about buying a diamond pendant online

Gem of several millennia, the diamond is a stone that fascinates women and men. It is the stone that we offer ourselves or that we offer during special occasions. Mounted on a necklace, it brings elegance to the neck and increases charm and presence. Want to buy a diamond pendant? It is important that you have as much information as possible before you decide.

Buying a diamond pendant is an act that should be carefully considered. Online, you will find many sellers. We tell you everything you need to know.

Generally, to buy a diamond jewel, you go to a traditional jewelry store. However, the best place to buy diamond jewelry is the Internet. Online stores offer jewelry at the best value for money. Online jewelry stores offer many other advantages such as price transparency.

The advantages and disadvantages of a traditional jewelry store

The main advantage of traditional jewelry stores is that they offer the customer the opportunity to physically see the jewelry. It is for the customer, an opportunity to touch and wear the diamond pendant before purchase. The choice will be easier. If you want to buy in a traditional store, it is preferable to choose a store with a large stock. The salesman will also be able to give you very useful advice for a choice adequate with your needs. The artisan jeweler can also customize the jewel to your liking for a custom diamond pendant.

The disadvantage of traditional jewelry stores is the limited stock. This is due to the cost of storage, the management of space that is often not expandable, and the security measures that insurance companies usually impose on these stores. As a result, the customer has less choice in terms of models, prices and quality.

The advantages and disadvantages of a jewelry brand

When you buy a diamond pendant from a jewelry brand, you become its ambassador, the vector of its history and style. To build its identity, the jeweler chooses a category of stone to design its jewelry. A high jewelry brand generally chooses diamonds with purity levels that range from IF to VVS. The colors, on the other hand, range from D to F. On the other hand, brands that focus less on uniqueness than on profit, offer low quality diamonds.

The disadvantage with a jewelry brand is that the customer cannot change either the color or the design. Nor can he rectify the purity of the stone. In short, with a brand, you will not be able to fully customize your diamond jewelry to your liking. It is impossible to have a custom creation.

The advantages and disadvantages of an online jewelry store

The main advantage of online jewelry stores is the competitiveness of the prices. A piece of jewelry sold online is usually 25% to 50% cheaper than if it is sold in a traditional jewelry store. In addition, the customer has access to a fairly extensive catalog if he decides to buy online. He will choose the diamond according to the weight, the purity and the color. Unlike a physical jewelry store, the stock of jewelry at the online seller is very large. Regardless of your geographical location, you have access to this large stock of jewelry, with a single click.

Buying online, however, has a hitch. It is the impossibility of being able to check the weight and the purity of the diamond. Aware of this disadvantage, which makes the prospect reluctant, online jewelry stores guarantee the transparency of their offers through certifications. These certifications are given by independent laboratories like HRD, IGI and GIA. This certification provides the buyer with all the information about the diamond.

The choice of a diamond, whether it is bought online or in a classic jewelry store, must be made after a deep analysis of the characteristics. It is not enough to see a diamond to attest to its quality, unless you are an expert. Only an expert can determine the color and clarity of a diamond. The diamond dealer uses a magnifying glass to determine the defects of the diamond. These inclusions are usually invisible to the naked eye. A X10 magnification is required to detect them. You must have all the exact information about the diamond before choosing it. The price of a diamond is determined by :

    The weight in carat.
    The degree of purity.
    The degree of white color.
    The quality of the cut.

Require that the weight and quality of the diamond be certified by GIA, HRD or IGI

In addition to the previous four characteristics, demand the certification provided by GIA, IGI and HRD. These are the most prestigious gemological laboratories in the world. Your diamond must have one of these 3 certificates.

Then, check the security put forward by the site through its payment and shipping solutions for the diamond. This gives rise to and reinforces the trust to be placed in the online seller.
