Points to remember before buying a demand • If people purchase jewelry from a retail store, the biggest advantage is that they can inspect it and see the quality and finish of the jewelry. Another advantage is if you are an old customer, jeweler can offer you discounts. • Most of the jewelry stores stock ready to wear jewelry and watches. They give importance to quality and value. They stock Standard Diamonds, Canadian Diamonds and Specialty Diamonds that include GIA, AGS, HRD and Gem scan Certificates. Most of the jewelry stores in Vernon sell Diamonds that are graded to worldrenowned standards of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Before buying that perfect diamond do remember certain things: a.During day light you will know the true color of the loose diamond. So always buy a loose diamond during day light. b.If the carat weight exceeds 0.5 carats, it is important that you get a certificate for its quality and integrity. Certificates for such diamonds can be obtained from gemological laboratories.
a. Always read the diamond Certificate carefully before buying
any diamond jewelry. A certified diamond does not mean that the diamond is of highest quality. A certificate informs you about the true grades that a diamond has received from gemological lab. Give preference to "Comments" such as Clarity Enhanced or Color Enhanced. Treated diamonds are cheaper than the untreated ones. b. Before buying a diamond, look into weight, color, clarity and cut. Do look into fluorescence, finish and proportions. c. Depending on color, some diamonds are less expensive when compared to colorless diamond of same carat weight.
One of the important things to look for while buying a diamond ring, pendant etc from a retail Vernon jewelry store is as follows: 1. Diamond color: Diamonds that are completely colorless is very rare, which makes it most valuable. Diamonds that are completely colorless are rated D, E or F. But diamonds that are rated yellow or brown are rated S through Z. All others fall somewhere in the middle. 2. Diamond Cuts: Check for cracks and chips. If it is cut properly, the light should reflect off the top of the stone and reflect within the gem itself, giving a brilliant appearance.

Diamond Carat: If the diamond is bigger, carat weight will be more which will cost more. A ring that has large solitaire diamond will be more expensive than a ring with several smaller diamonds even if the total carat weight is the same. Diamond Clarity: Clarity of a stone is related to cut. There is a rating system for this. F1 means flawless and represents perfect diamond. Other ratings are WS1 and 2, VS1 and VS2, SI and SI2 and I1, I2 and I3, with more flaws as you go down the line. The V, S and I stand for very, slightly and included.
