We all know that buying diamond jewelry involves a big amount of money. Thus, it is important for you to brush up on the basics about this precious stone so you'll end up with a wise buy.
Blue-white diamond is a description used by jewelers to describe diamond, although fewer people use it these days. Jewelers may tell you that a blue-white diamond is of higher quality than other types, but actually, it's the opposite so you should be careful with these dealers.
The fluorescence that the diamond produces when ultraviolet waves pass through it is where the term blue-white diamond originated. Diamond becomes "milky" when under the sunlight because of this fluorescence therefore reducing its natural value. When you get to meet a jeweler who uses this term, try to avoid this person.
When you see the word, "Sale" on a newspaper ad or a sign outside a jewelry store, this doesn't necessarily mean that you can save money when you buy from them. This scheme is used by some sellers of jewelry to earn more money. For example, a piece of diamond is said to cost $500 as its original price but it will be on sold for a discount of 50%. That means the reduced price will now be announced as $250 even if the real value of the said jewel is actually only $200. With this scheme, the jeweler ends up making $50. Don't fall for these schemes immediately.
When buying diamonds, you should also know the three most common types in the market today. Pink diamonds are the rarest and most expensive of all diamond types. White diamond was considered as the most beautiful diamond all over the world until the discovery of the pink kind. Most diamond mines all over the world today produce white Diamonds. They are most of the time brilliant and are of high quality while Champagne Diamonds have natural colors that can range from light straw to cognac.
