\"You<\/div>\n

Why Why Why?<\/h2>\n

\nThey Always Say:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If you Don’t Ask, You Don’t Know!<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And it’s Sooo TRUE!<\/h2>\n

\nNow I understand there are some things that we simply Do NOT Want to Know<\/strong>, like the Actual Calorie Count<\/strong> in the Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries<\/strong> (2140)…<\/p>\n

\nBut other things like “Why is this Diamond $2,000 Cheaper than this Diamond?<\/strong>” are things that you really should know.<\/p>\n

\nSadly, you’ll probably never really know<\/strong>… <\/p>\n

Unless you Ask!<\/h2>\n

\nFor Sales People in General, will only give you as much Info as you Request<\/strong>. Which means, if they tell you: “This Diamond has K Color and a Clarity of SI2<\/strong>“, you’ll never Quite Understand what that means Exactly Unless You Ask<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is K Good?<\/h2>\n

\nWhat about SI2?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThey’re not going to offer up an entire Lecture<\/strong> like: “K Color is a Lower Diamond Color than you Normally find on the Market, and it will often look a little Yellow in Hue! Here, let me Show you…<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

OH NO!<\/h2>\n

\nBut, they will probably say “This Diamond is a Steal for the Price<\/strong>, $2,495 is CHEAP <\/strong>for a One Carat Diamond!” (TRUE TRUE<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

They’ll Push Price!<\/h2>\n

\nPush SIZE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd Hope you’ll say “YES!<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\nBecause most Customers only care about Price<\/strong> anyway. If the Diamond looks fine, what’s the Big Deal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right?<\/h2>\n

\nWith Diamonds, it’s Foolish to think this way<\/strong>. There could be a $6,000 Difference in Price (or more) between two One Carat Diamonds. And it’s all due to QUALITY!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe Stone could be Chipped<\/strong>, Cracked, have Huge Fractures<\/strong>, Black Spots or Look Cloudy in Natural Light<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nIt’s not only about the 4C’s:<\/strong> Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight.<\/p>\n

\nBut other things too such as: Certification<\/strong>, Fluorescence, Polish<\/strong>, Symmetry and Shape <\/strong>all play a Crucial Role in Price <\/strong>as well.<\/p>\n

\nSo to truly know what the Diamond that you’re Buying is, YOU MUST ASK QUESTIONS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questions Like:<\/h2>\n

\n“What is K Color, and is it Good or Bad?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\n“Is SI2 a Good Clarity to Own, and WHY?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\n“Does this Diamond Glow in the Dark?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\n“Tell me about the Cut…<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\n“Can we Compare Diamonds?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Ask Questions!<\/h2>\n

\nThen, go to another Jewelry Store and LEARN MORE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIf you Shop and Compare<\/strong> all over town, you’ll Learn so much.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s when you’ll really start to see what a Good Diamond Quality is<\/strong>. What to look for. What to Shy away from<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nYou’ll learn if Bowties <\/strong>are Good, and what Shape of Diamond is the Cheapest<\/strong>. You’ll see the Difference in Cut Grades and View Inclusions under a Scope<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nBut to really get the most from this Experience, YOU MUST ASK QUESTIONS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learn WHY?<\/h2>\n

\nCompare Stones!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt will open your eyes to a Whole New World. Diamonds are Fascinating and Complex and No Two Are Ever Alike<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nDive in, take Control, Ask the Salesperson to put Two Opposite Qualities Side by Side<\/strong> so you can see them.<\/p>\n

\nAsk about Certification, “What is the BEST Diamond Report to Own?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\nAsk about Inscription<\/strong>, Plots<\/strong>, Symmetry<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nDon’t go into a Diamond Purchase Blindly!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEspecially if it’s for an Expensive Engagement Ring!<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask Questions<\/h2>\n

\nSee why it matters to YOU<\/strong>. Because a Well Informed Customer is one who does their Homework First<\/strong>, and Asks Many Questions<\/strong> Later.<\/p>\n

\nAfter all, it is your Money<\/strong>, your Time<\/strong>, and your Life<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Question Everything!<\/h2>\n

\nYou’ll be Much Happier<\/strong> in the end.<\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
