3 Common Mistakes Made When Buying Calgary Diamond Rings

What facts should you keep in mind when you buy from a Calgary jewellry designer? First, buying Calgary engagement rings constitute a special event, and you should treat it as such. Don’t let the occasion overwhelm you, however. Here are three things that you need to know before you ever speak to a jewellery designer.  

1. Diamonds Always Need a Certificate

Never let a jeweller tell you otherwise. Every diamond should come with a certificate, and you have to check to make sure it comes from a reputable organization like the GIA. This is called the “Gemological Institute of America.” When you study the certificates from the GIA, you will see that not all diamonds were created equal, and some jewellers want to want to hide this fact from you.

2. Not Watching for Blood Diamonds

Diamonds have sometimes been secretly used as a source of funding for violence and tyrannical governments. For example, the abusive government of Zimbabwe has committed crimes against humanity with these diamonds. How do you know you haven’t bought blood diamonds? In particular, diamonds that come from Angola and Zimbabwe have a higher likelihood. Ask what mine the diamonds came from because a responsible jeweller will know every step of where the Calgary diamond rings came from. If they provide vague statements, move on.

3. Know the 4Cs

The 4Cs help you grade and classify a diamond, and it should be clearly stated on your certificate. The 4Cs that make up a diamond’s value are cut, clarity, colour and carat. Each of these four factors will play a quintessential role in the value of diamond rings.

Buying jewelry will have a number of factors involved to help you avoid overpaying for diamond rings. The best way to find quality Calgary diamond rings will be to look for a reputable and honest jeweller.
