A diamond ring is worth twice as much at a jeweler’s shop as it is after it has been bought. This is because they acquire their diamonds in bulk and hence get the wholesale price. This provides them with more items at a lesser cost, but it also poses a problem with mark-ups.
When the jeweler purchases the diamond from the manufacturer, it has been finalized in terms of cut, clarity, color, and carat. The GIA has performed, documented, and validated all of these evaluations.
It is common knowledge that retail things are overpriced. Diamonds are particularly vulnerable due to their great monetary worth. If a jeweler buys a diamond for $1,000 from a wholesaler, he raises the price to $2,000 to protect himself against the slow-moving commodity.
A jeweler will not want to purchase a wedding ring since it is not in high demand and he can always obtain a new one at a lower price from a manufacturer. Based on current market trends, a diamonds mark up, and the reduction in diamond value, the resale value of diamonds often falls between 25% and 50% of the original price.
Once you’ve decided to buy a diamond, there are a few things that both the buyer and the seller must consider in order for both of you to control your expectations and prevent being misled. Understanding your diamond’s features and attributes can assist you in making an informed selection when selecting a seller. A GIA grading certificate covering all facets of your diamond crystal should be included with your purchase.
Clarity is the degree to which inclusions or defects are visible in a diamond crystal. To record varying stone clarities, the GIA has developed a unique grading system.
The Hue of a diamond crystal is quite important. Possibly the most crucial element. If your crystal has tints of other hues, such as yellow or brown, it is deemed contaminated and its categorization and price are reduced. The less color fund on a crystal, also evaluated on a scale, the more expensive it gets.
The Cut of a diamond is seen in its form in terms of the number and arrangement of facets. All cuts have precise requirements, although they are not as stringent as those enforced for round cut diamonds. The cut of a diamond controls its reflectivity and brightness, therefore the better the cut, the more bling and the higher the price.
The Weight of the diamond crystal is measured in carats. A carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams. The larger the diamond, the greater the carat value, and the more money required to purchase it.
Brokers are not only convenient, effective, and courteous, but they are also entertaining and may assist you in finding the best cut down price for your sought after diamond.
This is where the grading certificate comes in helpful since it will assist you in comprehending the kind of diamond you are dealing with, and with a few images and perhaps one or two personal meetings, you may be able to purchase up to 40 -70 percent less than the diamond’s initial worth. That’s rather remarkable.
Even with all of their contacts and accessible diamond market network, the quality and features of your diamond will determine how much money you part with. If your crystal has spotting inclusions, color taints, or unpopular cuts, you are likely to get it to for practically nothing. However do not expect to sell it later.
