Why you should Buy Certified Diamond Jewelry
August 7, 2008 by admin
Filed under Diamond Rings
A true diamond certificate, or grading report, is a detailed certification from independent gemologist organizations. The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certifies diamonds, and is known as "The World's Foremost Authority in Gemology."
A diamond certificate will contain detailed information about your diamond. The color, cut, carat, weight and clarity will all be graded, and other characteristics such as florescence will also be listed in a diamond certificate. You may be required to purchase the diamond certificate when buying your diamond jewelry, but the cost is usually minimal, and you can then be certain that you are purchasing a quality piece of diamond jewelry.
Companies like Blue Nile sell certified diamonds that are certified by GIA or the American Gem Society Laboratories, and Diamond.com offers certified diamond jewelry.
Another advantage of purchasing certified diamond jewelry is if you ever decide to sell your jewelry, it will be much easier for you to place a value on it, as well as ease the purchaser's mind that the diamond jewelry is real. You can use the Diamond grading report to look up the wholesale value of the diamond in question, which will help you determine a sales price.
It is good practice to avoid diamond dealers who are reluctant to provide a certificate for a diamond, or diamond jewelry dealers that attempt to sell a piece for a higher price because of the certification. One of the oldest and most well known sources for high quality certified diamond jewelry is DeBeers, and another classic source for certified diamond jewelry and wedding rings is at Tiffany & Co.
For more information on certified diamonds and diamond jewelry, you can also visit adiamondisforever.com
Another avenue for buying certified diamond jewelry that is not as well known is online auctions. With a certification from GIA or other reputable organization, you can be sure that you are purchasing the "real diamond deal." And since it's an auction, there is a very good chance that you can purchase your diamond jewelry at a significant discount, or even at wholesale prices! Here are some examples of the beautiful certified diamond jewelry you can purchase right now at auction:

Multiple Ways to Clean your Diamonds
January 29, 2008 by admin
Filed under How to Clean Diamond Jewelry
Even with the best of care, your diamond will eventually need cleaning. Whether through daily wear or storage, they will slowly lose their bright sparkle. Soaps, lotions and our natural skin oils can cause film and grime on diamonds and inhibit their brilliance.
If you would like to keep that Brilliance and Shine you will need to clean your diamonds from time to time. Remember that all it takes is a few minutes and a little care to keep that diamond as fiery as the day you first saw it.
You can use an small soft brush such as an eyebrow or lip stick brush and soap and
water to clean your jewelry. Simply use a bowl of warm sudsy water with a small amount of mild detergent and place your pieces in the mixture. Brush the diamonds with the soft bristles of the brush while they are in the suds. You will need to make certain that
you rinse them clear of the suds after cleaning them. You can also use a small kitchen
strainer such as a tea strainer to contain them while rinsing under warm water. Use
a lint free cloth, or a jewelry polish cloth to pat them dry.
If your diamonds are in need of a stronger
cleansing, you may want to use a liquid jewelry cleaner. Many cleaners can be purchased as a kit, and will include everything you need to clean your diamond jewelry. Make sure to read the labels to determine the one that is right for your diamonds and other types
jewelry, such as gold or silver.
And if you find yourself more the “high-tech type”, there are multiple ultrasonic cleansers on the market. These machines use high-frequency to create a cleaning motion. All machines are not the same, so please read the instructions before using. Here's a sampling of the jewelry cleaners that you can purchase through ebay right now:

Between cleanings, do what you can to keep from touching your clean diamonds with your fingers, and handle your jewelry by its edges when possible. These suggestions will help maintain their shine and brilliance for longer periods.

Fine jewelry will bring years of wearing pleasure with proper care and cleaning - and occasional inspection by a professional jeweler. There are also some special precautions to take with more delicate gems like pearls and emeralds. Good common sense is your best guide, but here are some helpful tips to keep all your fine jewelry in tip-top shape.
Clean your diamond jewelry regularly at home in an ultrasonic cleaner or by hand. To make your own jewelry cleaning solution, mix one part ammonia to six parts water.
Gently scrub the diamond piece with a small soft toothbrush to loosen dirt and restore the diamond's brilliance. Be careful not to scratch the metal setting. Always rinse after cleaning.

How To Buy a Diamond

Filed under The Four C's of Diamonds
How to Buy a Diamond
What you "C" is what you get. The diamond is a true marvel of nature. Magical. Mysterious. Universally treasured. And no two are exactly alike. Yet choosing a diamond you'll both love is not so mysterious - when you understand the characteristics that distinguish one gem from another. Any explanation of a diamond's beauty and value centers on three key quality factors: cut, color and clarity, and one unit of measure: carat weight. Collectively these are known as the four Cs. Learn what to look for. Decide your priorities. Then make the choice that's right for you.
The 4 C's of Diamonds
Cut
A diamond that is masterfully cut displays maximum brilliance and fire. Cut and proportion are extremely important because they have the greatest influence on the sparkle and value of a stone. A diamond that is well cut reflects light from one facet to another and disperses it back through the top of the stone.
Color
A diamond's body color can range from totally colorless to light yellow. The whiter or more colorless the stone, the more costly, because the absence of color is more rare. Also, the less color in the stone, the easier it is for light to pass through and be dispersed back into the spectrum of colors, like a rainbow.
Clarity
Nature is rarely perfect. So it is very rare to find a diamond that is completely pure or free of inclusions - minerals or crystals trapped within the stone at the time it was formed. Without ten-power magnification, you may never see these tiny inclusions. But they are the fingerprint that makes each diamond unique.
Carat Weight
The size of a diamond is defined by its weight, which is expressed in carats. One carat weighs one-fifth of a gram, and is divided into 100 points - like pennies to a dollar. The larger the diamond the more rare and costly it is. However, depending on their color, clarity and cut, two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary widely in their value.
