\"Learning<\/div>\n

That’s Right!<\/h2>\n

\nLearning about Diamonds IS Expensive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nFor the More you Learn<\/strong>, the More you’ll Spend<\/strong>! :)<\/p>\n

\nAfter all, you could just walk into a Jewelry Store, Point to a Diamond Engagement Ring that’s $3,340, Buy it, and Be Happy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is, until you Learn about it<\/h2>\n

\nFor once you Learn that it’s an I1 Clarity Diamond<\/a>, and that it’s NOT the Best Clarity to Buy<\/strong>, then you may Think Twice!<\/p>\n

\nOnce you see those Big Black Spots<\/strong> and Rough Chip on the Side of the Stone will you Begin to Realize, that Maybe you should have Upgraded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nGet yourself a Diamond that’s a Little Bit Nicer, Cleaner, Something Higher up the Clarity Chart<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

But you know what?<\/h2>\n

\nGoing from I1 Clarity to SI1 Clarity can Certainly take a Jump in Price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSee the Difference in Diamonds Below with the Exact Same <\/strong>Color, Cut, and Carat Weight…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
SHAPE – CW, CLARITY, COLOR, CUT<\/strong><\/td>\nPRICE<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROUND, 1.01, I1, G, EXCELLENT<\/strong><\/td>\n$3,340<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROUND, 1.01, SI1, G, EXCELLENT<\/strong><\/td>\n$5,530<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nSo now your Little Bitty Upgrade<\/strong> just Cost you a Pretty Penny.<\/p>\n

\nSo it is True that the More you Learn and Study Diamonds, the More you’ll find yourself Wanting a Nicer Stone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nOne without Huge Eye-Sore Flaws<\/strong>… One with Tiny Imperfections only seen under a Microscope<\/a>… You’ll Crave a Diamond that’s Cut Well and has Triple Excellent Grades<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nA Diamond that’s GIA Certified<\/strong>, Laser Inscribed, and Exhibits Pure White Color.<\/p>\n

It all ADDS up!<\/h2>\n

\nSo Suddenly, your $3,340 Diamond, now turns into a $5,530 Diamond, ALL because you Learned<\/strong> about them.<\/p>\n

\n\"Compare<\/p>\n

\nSo the MORE you LEARN<\/strong> about Quality<\/strong>, the MORE <\/strong>that Diamond will SKY ROCKET!<\/strong><\/p>\n

They can get Really Really Expensive…<\/h2>\n

\nBut…<\/strong><\/p>\n

They Don’t Need To Be!<\/h2>\n

\nFor you can actually use “Learning<\/strong>” to your Advantage<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\nYou can still get a Nicer Stone (Kick Ass<\/strong>), and still be able to Save some Dough<\/strong> if you know HOW <\/strong>to Shop, and WHAT to LOOK for!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSo Here are some Great Ways to make Learning Easier on your Pocket Book<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Light Carat Weights<\/h2>\n

\nBuy Light Carat Weights<\/strong>. Those are Carat Weights that are just Shy of the Mark<\/strong>. Instead of Buying a 1.00 Carat Diamond, Buy a 94 Point Diamond<\/a>. Thinking of Buying a 3\/4 Carat<\/strong> Diamond, Buy yourself a .70 Carat Instead<\/a>. Cut back a Couple of Points and the Diamond gets CHEAPER!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Low Clarities That Face Up Well<\/h2>\n

\nIf you really Want to Chip away at that Price, look at Lower Clarity Diamonds. Diamonds like SI2 and I1’s<\/a>. These Diamonds will still have Inclusions (Eye-Visible Ones<\/strong>), but many have White Inclusions, or Flaws that aren’t so Obvious, or Imperfections that Reside Underneath the Crown Facets (Where they Hide Better<\/strong>). <\/p>\n

For Example<\/h2>\n

\nSee the Two Diamonds Below to Understand Exactly what I mean<\/strong>. Both these Diamonds are I1 Clarity, Same Color, Same Cut, Same Carat Weight… <\/p>\n

\nBut the Diamond on the Right Faces up so much Better!<\/strong><\/p>\n

See for yourself…<\/h2>\n

\n\"Compare<\/a><\/p>\n

It really is a Day and Night Difference! WOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diamond Color<\/h2>\n

\nColor isn’t really a Big Issue<\/strong>. Sure Pure White Diamond ROCK<\/a>, but most people won’t notice the Slight Tinge of Yellow<\/strong> in a Stone. Usually people will Never Notice Color unless Two Diamonds, of Two Different Colors are put Side by Side (and you Point it out to them<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nSo my Suggestion to Save Money here is, Get yourself a G or H Colored Diamond<\/a> (or even an I), and the Diamond will still Face Up White, but it won’t Cost you an Arm and a Leg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nLastly…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never Skimp on These…<\/h2>\n

\nWhile there are Things you CAN Skimp on to Save Money<\/strong>, there are also things you shouldn’t…<\/p>\n

\nThinks like…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certification<\/h2>\n

\nGIA Certification that is<\/strong>. GIA is the Best in the Industry and I Highly Recommend them (AGS is a Close Second<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Fluorescence<\/h2>\n

\nI usually Recommend you Buy a Diamond Without Fluorescence<\/strong>. Sure Fluorescence can Make a Diamond Cheaper, but it can also KILL the Beauty<\/strong>, Light, Life, Sparkle and Fire in a Diamond. It can also make it look Foggy, Hazy or Cloudy<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nSo generally I say NO to Fluorescence<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\n\"No<\/p>\n

But…<\/h2>\n

\nNot all Diamonds with Fluorescence will React this way in Light (Fluorescence also makes them Glow in the Dark under UV Light<\/a>), it’s a Weird Natural Phenomenon<\/strong> that some Diamonds have and others don’t. To see if a Diamond looks Funny in Natural Light, you’ll just have to see them with your own eyes<\/strong>. No matter what, Scrutinize a Diamond with Fluorescence (as shown on a GIA Diamond Report<\/strong> below) to see if it’s Worth the Savings<\/strong> or Not!<\/p>\n

CUT<\/h2>\n

\nDon’t Skimp on CUT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

EVER!<\/h2>\n

\nYou can Skimp on every other Aspect of a Diamond: Carat Weight, Color, Clarity… But NEVER Skimp on Cut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s Because CUT is what makes a Diamond Sparkle!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nStick to a Great Cut, which is a Cut Grade of “Excellent<\/strong>” (Or “Very Good<\/strong>” at the Least), and your Diamond will Look Awesome!<\/strong> It’ll be Shiny, have Brilliance, Fire, Scintillation… and Look like a Million Stars in the Sky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\"A<\/p>\n

\n(As in these Diamonds HERE!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

See, Learning IS Expensive<\/h2>\n

\nBut you also just Learned how to Keep the Cost Down!<\/strong><\/p>\n
