Buying
Diamonds Online
 Know What You are Looking For
There are several key differences to buying
jewelry and wholesale diamonds online compared to actually buying in a brick and
mortar store. Knowing these differences is key to having a successful buying
experience. Here are several tips to help you with the online buying process.
Understand Your diamond types and
quality:
Since you will not have a commissioned salesperson to help
you with answering your questions while buying your jewelry online, you
should have a strong understanding of the types of diamonds and their 4 C's
before you begin to make your purchase. Fortunately, Mansfield Designs has
brought much of this information together on this site to help educate you
before you make your decision as to what online retailer or stone interests
you.
 Comparison Shop:
Just like
shopping for a car or a house, a diamond purchase can be a fairly expensive
proposition, and one you should not approach lightly. With that in mind, you
should shop several retailers before deciding on your diamond purchase.
Since all diamonds are different, of course a precise comparison is
impossible, but you should be able to find extreme similarities between what
one jeweler will offer you and what another one has for sale. Once you have
at least two similar stones or pieces of jewelry to compare, you can then
make your decision on which one to buy based on other factors like price and
delivery time.
Make sure there's a solid return
policy:
Diamonds are forever and virtually indestructible, so there
is no excuse for any retailer to not have an iron-clad return policy that
you can live with, in case the stone that you get is not keeping with what
you were hoping for. Make sure you read carefully through their return
policy.
Get a clear view of your diamond:
The sites you are buying from should allow you to magnify the view of your
diamond or jewelry quite extensively, allowing you to get a clear look at
the stone before you buy.
Make sure the size is right:
Before buying a diamond ring online you should be absolutely certain that
you know the ring size you will need. Buying a ring and then needing to get
it altered later can be expensive and time-consuming. Many sites will offer
you the opportunity to print out a finger sizing chart in order to assist
with getting the proper measurement.
