Diamond Christmas!

You’ve seen the scene a million times: the thieves empty a
hefty bag of loose diamonds onto something dark, and images
of riches dance through your mind. Fortunately for all of
us, buying GIA loose diamonds is not merely the stuff of movies,
but a real and viable option for diamond jewelry buyers in
search of the best choices available for their purchases.
Here’s some of the basics of buying loose diamonds.

Most jewelers now realize that diamond shoppers are becoming
more savvy, and now offer loose diamonds as a normal part of
their business. In fact it has opened up an entire new
avenue for some merchants, selling loose diamonds to those
who are either unsure of exactly what they want, prospective
grooms, and people who want to use the diamonds in settings
they already own, and don’t need premade diamond jewelry.
Loose diamonds are available in all shapes, such as round,
princess, marquise, pear, heart and all the rest. You can
find them in all grades as well, and this is why you need to
come armed with an idea of just what you want, as well as
some basic diamond knowledge. You should know something of
the 4 C’s: cut, color, clarity and carat weight. Make sure
each loose diamond has a certificate from a respected,
independent gem lab (GIA, AGS, EGL)

Buying loose GIA certified diamonds is now easier than ever, with a lot of
the action taking place online. Not only can you educate
yourself easily online about your diamond purchase, online
diamond shopping can be more economical to boot! Most online
vendors offer equal or better terms than offline diamond
stores, and it’s hard to beat the hours. Shop 24/7, and
forgo the hordes of commissioned salespeople. Buying loose
diamonds is not only a great idea for those wanting to
design their own jewelry or use their own settings, it’s a
great way to save some real money. Take the GIA loose diamonds
