\"Diamond<\/div>\n

Beware…<\/h2>\n

\nMany, many websites, fliers, catalogs, and billboards advertise false diamonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nGreat sales pop up that look so beautiful, you simply can’t pass them up.<\/p>\n

\nWonderful images of diamonds, big, shiny, glistening with an abundance of brilliance and sparkle…<\/p>\n

\nBut what you don’t know is this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is NOT the diamond you’d get!<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s right. Those images you see, those engagement rings, wedding sets, all the facets, the beauty, are NOT the real images of the diamonds<\/strong>. They are not the diamond you would get if you purchased.<\/p>\n

They are STOCK photos!<\/h2>\n

\nSample images of diamonds<\/strong> used for tons of different clarities and colors.<\/p>\n

\nYou’ll notice this if you gaze through most jeweler’s websites. You’ll see the same exact photo<\/strong> used for many items.<\/p>\n

Just like the examples below:<\/h2>\n

\nThis is supposed to be the lowest clarity range…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Same<\/p>\n

\nThis is supposed to be SI…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Same<\/p>\n

\nThis is supposed to be the best…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Same<\/p>\n

Notice anything different?<\/h2>\n

\nNo. They’re all the same image.<\/p>\n

\nWhich makes it look like you’d be getting a really great diamond<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

NOPE!<\/h2>\n

\nI clarity is the lowest clarity range on Earth<\/strong> (which is I1, I2, and I3). I clarity is full of carbon spots, clouds, feathers, lines, cracks, chips, pinpoints, and tons of other flaws that are not only obvious to the eye<\/strong> (without any magnification), but some are almost shocking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like this engagement ring below:<\/h2>\n

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

\nThat’s NOT an I3 diamond<\/strong>. No way. No how. Not even close<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nTo compare what a real I3 diamond with K color<\/strong>, see the image below:<\/p>\n

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

\nI clarity means “included<\/strong>“. Meaning, you WILL see eye visible flaws<\/strong>. So if the image you see is crystal clear and clean… It’s FAKE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis is why it’s crucial to see the real stone. Preferably up close and magnified, so you know exactly what you’re buying<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis is also why I advise buying diamonds from James Allen<\/a> or Blue Nile<\/a>. These huge diamond dealers online show you the real loose certified diamond<\/strong>, magnified, which you can spin<\/strong> to see from all sides and angles.<\/p>\n

\nYou see everything inside the stone, all of the flaws, inclusions, which is amazing (like a fingerprint, or birthmark).<\/p>\n

There’s nothing to hide!<\/h2>\n

\nSo the next time that you see a diamond in a catalog, or online, question it<\/strong>. Look at the price. Look at the clarity and color listed. Is it too good to be true?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t let them fool you.<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s not all as it seems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nInstead, find a place that shows you the real stone, the real imperfections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nOtherwise, you’ll probably feel ripped off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nExpectation vs reality<\/strong>, not only applies to diamonds, but your pocketbook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nCheck out the real diamonds here at James Allen<\/a> or Blue Nile<\/a> today (plus, their prices can’t be beat).<\/p>\n

\nNow that’s keeping it real.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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