Jewelry has been an essential part of human culture since beyond the reach of memory. It is a great way to flaunt one’s wealth, social status and affluence. Hence, they have become one of the most valuable gifts that exhibit love and devotion, especially if it is diamond jewelry. With so many options to choose from, it might be over-whelming to find the perfect diamond jewelry.

Here are some points you need to keep in mind to make the most out of your diamond shopping,

  • By definition, carat does not denote size

In Albuquerque, diamond jewelers measure the weight of diamonds in metric carats. Because of this people mechanically assume that a 1.00 carat diamond is larger than a.900 carat diamond. A diamond might look smaller but it could match with the weight of a larger diamond if it is cut differently.

  • Color plays a big role in the price

Jewelry shops in Albuquerque offer hundreds of colors in diamond. Certain category of colors is considerably cheaper than the others. Only an expert can pick up the subtle distinctions in colored diamonds, but even a small difference can make a significant change in the final price.

  • Choose your dealer carefully

Diamonds are not cheap. And just like any other major investments, there are risks involved in purchasing diamonds. So, make sure that the merchant you have chosen is reliable and trustworthy. Also, check whether the jeweler produce the required documents for each diamond. And ask if they provide additional services like cleaning, repair and resizing.

  • Protect your diamond

When you are purchasing diamonds in Albuquerque, Jewelers usually offer to inscribe the diamond report number or any other message on the girdle. This can be viewed under a jeweler’s microscope at 10X magnification. This could later help you identify your diamond when it is lost or stolen.

  • Choose a competent craftsman to set your diamond

When you buy loose diamonds to set them in your jewelry later on, hire a good artisan to do it. A highly skilled setter would know how to maximize the capacity of your diamonds.

Life isn’t perfect, but your diamonds can be. So shop smartly and choose the right kind of diamond jewelry.
