Well, this is Interesting!<\/h2>\n

\nWhen you’re Comparing Diamonds<\/strong> with Different Jewelers<\/strong>, there’s Bound to be Slight Differences in Prices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAnd if you then Compare those Prices to Online Stores<\/strong> (like James Allen<\/a>), usually the Online Prices are Cheaper <\/strong>– No Overhead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nPlus, there can also be a BIG Price Difference<\/strong> if you Compare Different Certificates, like GIA Versus EGL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n(EGL Diamonds are Generally NOT as Accurate<\/strong>, and many are Graded BETTER <\/strong>than they really are, which also means, you’re Paying MORE for that Diamond than you should!<\/strong> – So Always Stick with GIA!!!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

But…<\/h2>\n

\nWhat happens if you’re Comparing GIA to GIA<\/strong>, and all the other Factors are the Same, at the Same Jewelers?<\/p>\n

\nLike for Example…<\/strong><\/p>\n

These Two Particular Diamonds HERE:<\/h2>\n

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

\nBoth are GIA Certified<\/strong>, VS1 Clarity<\/strong>, E Color<\/strong>, and both are 1.00 Carat Diamonds<\/strong> with Excellent <\/strong>Cuts.<\/p>\n

See them here:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
CARAT WEIGHT, CLARITY, COLOR, CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\nPRICE<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1.00, VS1, E, GIA CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\n$10,120<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1.00, VS1, E, GIA CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\n$7,990<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nThe Problem is, one Diamond is Priced at $7,990<\/strong>, and the other Diamond is Selling for $10,120<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

WHAT?<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s a Price Difference of $2,130<\/strong> for THE SAME STONE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can there be a Difference?<\/h2>\n

\nThe Carat, Color, Clarity AND Cut is the Same…???<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWell…<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have to look at EVERYTHING!<\/h2>\n

\nIf you look closer at the Diamond Specs, you’ll see that the Cheaper Diamond has “Excellent<\/strong>” Polish (Just like the more Expensive one), but it drops one Grade in Symmetry, down to “Very Good<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\nAnd…<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also has Faint Fluorescence!<\/h2>\n

\nIs that enough to Charge $2,130 MORE<\/strong> for the Same Stone?<\/p>\n

Apparently IT IS!<\/h2>\n

\nNow, let’s Tighten the Search Parameters<\/strong> and look at Stones that are EXACT <\/strong>(No Differences Anywhere this time).<\/p>\n

These Two Diamonds Shown Below are .90 Carat, VS1 Clarity, E Color<\/strong>, with Excellent Cut, Excellent Polish and Excellent Symmetry. They are BOTH GIA Certified<\/strong> and have No Fluorescence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

See the Diamonds HERE:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
CARAT WEIGHT, CLARITY, COLOR, CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\nPRICE<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.90, VS1, E, GIA CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\n$7,360<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
.90, VS1, E, GIA CERTIFIED<\/strong><\/td>\n$5,500<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nStill…<\/strong><\/p>\n

One Diamond is $1,860 MORE than the other!<\/h2>\n

WHAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOW?<\/h2>\n

\nBecause of 3 Reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n
