what’s an ugly diamond?I thought all diamonds were pretty!
So you are new in the diamond market and you have read all about clarity, color cut etc.Let’s get down to the basic basics.Just like this:
If you are buying for investment- read another’s guy guide.This guide is for people that want to purchase a pretty diamond ring- bid on ebay , get their ring and then say: this diamond has no sparkle, it looks milky…I hate it!-so….did you buy your diamond from a reputable ebay seller?did you pay a reasonable amount for it?did it come with a certificate?Did the seller gave you details about the stone-at least?
What half words say…if you see a two carat diamond ring listed and the seller only refers to it as a stone” not as a diamond…beware of sellers that will start items at five cents, word the listing primarily to make you think that you are getting something for nothing.It helps to email the seller and ask if its a natural, mined diamond, if the setting is gold-solid gold and if its hallmarked.Many sellers provide small photos with little information.Those are the ones we have to email and ask for detailed scanns of the items.Dont be afraid of asking if a diamond is hazy or cloudy, or looks dull .You will not be happy if your diamond looks like a grain of rice.Inform yourself about color and clarity with the wonderful guides many quality sellers provide on thier listings-remember many times you get what you pay for.Dont expect a three carat canary rock that you paid 2100.00 on an auction to look nothing like a canary diamond should look.A river pebble may have more color and shine.Always check the sellers feedback -especially when you buy diamonds.Words like- a little cloudy -a little yellow- or dark brown diamond are very indicative of an ugly diamond.Ugly is the diamond you rather keep in your jewelry box because you know it was a mistake!Ugly diamond is the one that dissapoints a bride to be because she rather wear a bubble gum machine ring than the one you got for her- because its so unatractive.Look for sellers that mostly do jewelry.
Ebay is a wonderful and amazing world of surprises and deal and opportunities and even the greatest deal of your life maybe lurking here-read all your guides,be an informed shopper, and have the time of your life-remember my guide and don’t buy an ugly diamond!!
