The BEST?<\/h2>\n

\nThe “Best<\/strong>” diamond is so subjective… <\/p>\n

\nI mean, there are probably thousands of different combinations of Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat Weight<\/strong>. So narrowing it down to the “BEST<\/strong>“, is just a matter of opinion. <\/p>\n

\nLuckily, I’ve been in the business for 30 years<\/strong>, and I know a thing or two about diamonds, and I also know what customers LOOK FOR<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nAnd what they look for…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Really is the key to this puzzle!<\/h2>\n

\nYou see, as much as I push high quality<\/strong>, for you can really see a difference, that’s NOT what most people shop for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSure, they want a good quality stone<\/strong>. They make sure to highlight some great features<\/strong>, but most consumers tend to concentrate on a few “IMPORTANT<\/strong>” areas… And the other characteristics, not so much<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nSo first, let me tell you what I would consider the BEST diamond<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

The BEST Diamond:<\/h2>\n

\nFor me, the Best stone is Flawless<\/strong>, Colorless, Triple Excellent<\/strong>, GIA Certified, Zero Fluorescence<\/strong>, and Round<\/strong>, of course (Since they give you the most sparkle<\/strong> out of any other shape!) <\/p>\n

\nJust like these Diamonds HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

\nYou see, even the lowest priced stone is $9,500<\/strong>. It’s not the most PERFECT <\/strong>stone, no, but it is probably the BEST you’ll find<\/strong> in any store across the country. And most Jewelers don’t even carry this quality… Because it’s just too rare and too expensive<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Now… On the other hand… <\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the BEST for Customers<\/em>!<\/h2>\n

\nWhen customers come in, looking for a stone, this is the criteria that they usually adhere to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nVVS Clarity<\/strong>, Near Colorless, Excellent Cut<\/strong>, GIA Certified.<\/p>\n

\n4 Items! <\/strong>And as you can see, they SKIP <\/strong>some really significant topics… Ones that make me shudder. They don’t care about Polish, Symmetry<\/strong>, or even Fluorescence <\/strong>(what is that again? Go here to read about Fluorescence<\/a>), and it blows my mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nFor the diamond they’ll end up getting, that 1.00 Carat Diamond<\/a>, will probably look something like this…<\/p>\n

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

And, in all Honesty…<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s actually a kick ass stone<\/strong>. Hard to beat a VVS… But… The Symmetry is off<\/strong>, it doesn’t have that perfect pattern<\/strong>… And the COLOR of the stone is a tad bit LOW too<\/strong>… If it was Higher<\/strong>, that diamond would appear BIGGER, BRIGHTER, and MORE WHITER!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The Difference would be STAGGERING!<\/h2>\n

\nThat stone shown above has no Fluorescence<\/strong>… Surprisingly<\/strong>. Most diamonds that are not “Hearts and Arrows<\/strong> or True Hearts<\/strong>“, with an Average Color<\/strong> (G-H-I-J), and a Lower Price<\/strong>, tend to falter in Fluorescence <\/strong>as well. Usually they’ll have a Strong, Medium, or Faint Glow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nWhich can really affect the way a stone looks negatively<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nSo the BEST for many customers<\/strong>, is only the BEST<\/strong>, because that’s what they’ve been trained to look for<\/strong>. This is what many Jewelry Stores<\/strong> are telling them is important. The Cut (with almost no mention of Polish or Symmetry<\/strong>), the Color (Near Colorless<\/strong> is an off-white Diamond that faces up nice), and Certification (GIA is the Best<\/strong>, many Jewelers lean towards in-house Certification<\/strong> or other less-strict companies like IGI, EGL or Gemex<\/strong>… Not what I would Ever Recommend!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Stick with GIA… Seriously!<\/h2>\n

\nSo if you want their so-called BEST diamond<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nBuy this 1.00 Carat Diamond HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

\nOr, see other Similar Quality Diamonds HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

But, if you truly want the BEST of the BEST…<\/h2>\n

\nNow those diamonds are AWESOME!<\/strong><\/p>\n
