\"You<\/div>\n

What do I mean “You Can’t Compare Carat Weights<\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

“SURE YOU CAN!”<\/h2>\n

\nBut… Not as Easily as you’d Think!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nLet’s say for Example<\/strong>, you go to one Jewelry Store to Shop for an Engagement Ring<\/a>. They have a 71 Point (.71 CT<\/strong>) Round Diamond, SI1 Clarity, I Color, Selling for $2,000!<\/a><\/p>\n

\nYou now go to another Jeweler to Shop and Compare<\/strong> Stones and Prices.<\/p>\n

\nThey Don’t have a 71 Point Diamond<\/a> on hand, but they do have a .76 Carat Diamond with Better Color!<\/a><\/p>\n

Bigger and Better!<\/h2>\n

\nSounds Awesome, doesn’t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe only Problem is, it’s $1,000 MORE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

OUCH!<\/h2>\n

\nShopping and Comparing Carat Weights can be Quite Difficult<\/strong>, because in order to really Match up Exact Stones, you’d have to Carry Every Single Conceivable Carat Weight<\/strong>. Not to Mention Every Color<\/strong>, Cut <\/strong>Grade, Shape, Clarity <\/strong>Grade, Polish<\/strong>, Symmetry<\/strong>, Crown <\/strong>Height and Fluorescent <\/strong>Diamond there is… ON EARTH!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEvery Carat Weight .01 Carat<\/strong> through 3,106.75 Carats<\/strong> (The Largest Diamond Ever Found<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The Possibilities are Endless!<\/h2>\n

\nSo when you Ask for a .71 Carat, SI1, I<\/a>, you’ll see that they have an .85 Carat, SI1, H<\/a>, or a .70 Carat, VS2, I<\/a>… But NOT an SI1, I!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is this?<\/h2>\n

\nBecause all Stores have Limited Diamond Quantities in Stock<\/strong>. In Fact, most Jewelry Stores carry less than 50 Certified Diamonds<\/strong> on hand. So the Odds of Finding a Perfect Match with your Exact Criteria<\/strong> are Slim <\/strong>to None<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\nAnd if the Carat Weight is off, or the Clarity or Color is Different, then the Diamond Itself could be Hundreds and Thousands of Dollars More or Less<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is that a Fair Comparison?<\/h2>\n

\nNOPE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd, even if they have a Diamond that’s Close in Size, it could be Considered a Light Carat-Weight<\/a> and still be a Vast Difference in Price. See below…<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\nSo you won’t know which Store is really Giving you the Better Deal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s all over the Board!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Can You Do?<\/h2>\n

\nCompare these Stones that you find, to a Store that DOES Carry Bigger Quantities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nLike James Allen<\/a>… At the time of this Post, they have over 61,400 Diamonds in Stock!<\/strong> That’s a HUGE <\/strong>Inventory of Loose Certified Diamonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSo if you’re looking for a 45 Point Round Diamond with VS2, G Color<\/a>, you’ll see many of them…<\/p>\n

\n\"45<\/a><\/p>\n

\nJames Allen<\/a>, one of the Biggest Diamond Dealers Online<\/strong>, carries Diamonds in Every Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight (Plus, Fancy Colored Diamonds<\/a> as well).<\/p>\n

\nAND<\/strong>, they allow you to Narrow down your Search with Advanced Settings<\/strong> so you can Find Exactly what you’re Looking for. <\/p>\n

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

Narrow down your Diamond Quality!<\/h2>\n

\nCompare <\/strong>with other Stores. <\/p>\n

\nView the Diamonds<\/strong> (the Actual Real Diamonds<\/strong>, and NOT a Sample Stock Photo<\/strong>) under 10x Magnification<\/strong> (Like you were using a Jeweler’s Loupe<\/a> or a Microscope<\/a>), and then, and only then, will you truly see who has the Better Prices and Stones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’m Sure You’ll Be Surprised!<\/h2>\n

\nYou can Save Tons of Money<\/strong> by Shopping Online! :)<\/p>\n

\nComparing Carat Weights can be Difficult…<\/p>\n

\nBut it’s Simple, once you know Where to Look!<\/strong><\/p>\n
