An image is worth a thousand words…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOr in the case of diamonds, it’s worth THOUSANDS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBecause diamonds are analyzed and inspected under a microscope<\/a> or a 10x jeweler’s loupe<\/a>, and this is the proper way to grade them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nBut while these tools may come easy for experts<\/strong> and jewelers to use, it’s not easy for customers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\"Using<\/p>\n

\nCustomers have a hard time adjusting to binoculars, they don’t know how to hold a loupe<\/strong>, they can’t figure out the distance between the eyes, or even what they’re looking at<\/strong>. It’s not simple to show them, guide them, and get people to fully adapt to the correct focal length<\/strong>. I mean, how many times do you really see the world through macro eyes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magnification is tricky, no doubt.<\/h2>\n

\nBig inclusions may stand out<\/strong>, but other smaller flaws go unnoticed. This is why shopping with clear images is better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nClose up digital images<\/strong> that allow you to see everything inside the stone, from any rotation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAnd I’m not just talking any photographs either…<\/p>\n

Let me show you what I mean.<\/h2>\n

\nBelow is an image from a leading jeweler that shows a lovely diamond solitaire:<\/p>\n

\n\"This<\/p>\n

\nThe clarity is listed as I1<\/strong>, the color H-I<\/strong>, but the image shown is not the real diamond<\/strong>, nor the real quality you would be buying.<\/p>\n

These are what I1, H-I, diamonds<\/a> really look like:<\/p>\n

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

Big difference!<\/h2>\n

\nAlmost all leading nationwide jewelers<\/strong> show you rings and diamonds that are not the real deal<\/strong>, they’re stock sample photographs that don’t represent the genuine item.<\/p>\n

\nThis is proven when you search their sites<\/strong>, you’ll see different rings that are duplicate images:<\/p>\n

\n\"Sample<\/p>\n

See all the exact same rings?<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s no way to shop<\/strong>. That’s no way to buy clarity, or an engagement ring… NO!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhen you’re buying a diamond, which is small, expensive<\/strong>, and graded under magnification<\/strong>, you need to see that diamond under magnification as well. It’s a must<\/strong>. And while a microscope or a loupe is advised, there is a better way…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Close up photographs.<\/h2>\n

\nLike the diamonds shown below…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Close<\/p>\n

\nYou can see what you’re buying. What a concept!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBecause seeing a ring like this, just won’t cut it<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\n\"I3<\/p>\n

\nThe jeweler above is selling you an I3 diamond, and the image looks like a flawless<\/strong> (and lifeless) stone. Not even close!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nReal photos of the real diamonds is priceless<\/strong>. James Allen<\/a> excels <\/strong>in this. Their images are 20x magnified<\/strong> so you can see everything inside the stone<\/strong>. You can even spin the stone around 360\u00b0<\/strong>. It’s amazing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s the best way to shop for clarity.<\/h2>\n

\nIt makes buying a diamond easy<\/strong>, and you can compare thousands of stones<\/strong> side by side to choose the perfect stone for your budget.<\/p>\n

\n\"James<\/p>\n

\nNo more goofing with tweezers<\/strong>, trying to adjust the depth perception. No more fiddling around<\/strong> trying to see the facets or the pavilion. No more squinting<\/strong> or closing one eye…<\/p>\n

\nBuying close up, seeing all of the flaws, is the ideal way to diamond shop<\/strong>. No hassle. No effort. No worries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSo head over to James Allen here<\/a> and view all of their diamonds (I usually recommend SI1, E<\/a>, the most popular clarity and color combo<\/strong>). James Allen has unbeatable prices<\/strong>, and one of the biggest online retailers of loose diamonds anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see, an image really is worth 1,000 words<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAnd, like the diamonds shown below, it’s worth a lot more:<\/strong><\/p>\n
