    How to Buy Diamond Engagement Rings: Tips, Comparison, C's, Save 1 Carat on Finger Hand 2 1/2 3/4 .5
    In this tutorial video I will go over how jewelry stores trick you into paying more for bad diamonds, where to buy beautiful, affordable and real diamonds for less than jewelry stores, and how to buy diamond engagement rings using the four C's.
    This Diamond is from a Jewelry Store I went to. See here it is about 5,800 dollars later you'll see you can get this for 2000 dollars less. We will use this 1 carat diamond ring on the finger or hand for this tutorial.
    First let's look at the four C's in order of importance.
    Carat! Or The Weight of the Diamond is most important to most people because it is how big the diamond is. Our Diamond is the 1 Carat you see here in the diamond size comparison.
    Cut, is the next important and also how Jewelry stores trick you the most. When cut precisely the diamond bounces, or refracts light back at you to make it sparkle. When cut perfectly it refracts the maximum amount of light back at you through the diamond so it sparkles at its peak. Cut is graded from Good to Excellent or Ideal.
    Hiding the diamond cut is the most common way jewelers get you to buy an inferior diamond. Like here they cover up the poorly cut diamonds with Beautiful lights that make the diamond sparkle no matter how terrible its cut. Then the store doesn't even mention the diamond cut in the specs instead they try and make the inexperienced shopper think the Shape of the Cut, like princess or round, and The Symmetry are the same as the Grade of the cut. Very Tricky but no mention of the cut grade here. That is how they get away with not mentioning the REAL cut grade. Normally cut is measured like this here from a website I have linked to in this video. It is from good to excellent. So judging by the symmetry of this diamond it is probably just good or worse.
    The next important Feature is the Clarity. Which is the diamond measurement of how many defects there are, how visible the defects are, and how cloudy the diamond is. Which all contributes to how sparlkly and vibrant the diamond is. I's are visible defects and get less visible to IF .
    Color. This is graded from Yellow to Colorless. D being the most colorless. This is an area where a lot of people decide to cut back because you can't really tell how colorless a diamond is unless another one is right next to it. But J here is not a great color and pretty yellow. Though we will see after I show you the savings how this isn't even that true. I personally like G and Above.
    Briefly, to get the best price on real beautiful diamonds you need to buy them online. Watch my other videos for in depth explanations on this.
    You can see here I plug in the same details from the diamond I found at the jewelry store. This same quality diamond online is 3600 dollars. The Jewelry Store Diamond was 5788 dollars. That is a savings of over 2,000 dollars.
    This leads me to my personal sixth C. Certification.
    Now as if the Jewelry Store hadn't tried to rip you off enough. That savings of 2000 dollars is based on the fact that the two diamonds we looked at are equal. In fact they are not. The online diamond was actually way better. Let me explain. Look at these two diamonds. They have all the same specs. Yet, you can tell the one on the left is way better! The one on the right looks scrathy & terrible. How is this possible if it says they are the same quality? You can see the Diamond on the left is certified by GIA. It is the most accurate and the Gold Standard for Diamond Certification. The one on the right is a bad laboratory. If the diamond has a GIA certification you can trust that the diamond you buy is what the website or store says it is and lives up to all its specifications. No matter what light they shine or trick they use. It also ensures that the diamond is Predictably Beautiful and High Quality when you receive it.
    Going Back, The Diamond at the mall Jeweler was certified by IGL which is a lower certifcation method that inflates its numbers to rip you off.
    EGL is a for profit lab. They are very lenient in the grading system. When compared to GIA this diamond will be closer to a K/L color.
    In short, if the jeweler uses another certification besides GIA. They are trying to sell you a lesser diamond. Which means the store diamond we looked at is even worse than it reports and is actually about 3000$ overpriced when compared to a GIA diamond on the website I have linked to in this video.

    Here's the thing. For most of us around the world, the GIA isn't going to certify all our diamonds. They only have about 10 places worldwide. If you compare the amount of diamonds out there with 10 GIA institutes, only a tiny quantity of the diamonds are going to go through GIA.

    As a jeweler from an AGS Jeweler, you forgot to mention that the jewelry store that they should be buying from should be an AGS jeweler. These jewelers are held to strict guidelines of honesty, fairness, and ethical practice, it’s so strict as a matter of fact only 1 of 20 jewelry stores make the cut. It’s the jewelry industry version of the better business bureau to protect you, the consumer. As a matter of fact it has the same founder as GIA and they both grade diamonds as well.

    Maybe random stand alone jewlery stores might try and trick you but typically a jewlery chain thats well known wont trick you. Also the cut of the diamond makes up almost 50% of the price/value of the diamond. Carat size and claritiy then both around 20% and color around 10%. Another thing that drives the price/value is the rarity of the diamond. A 1.00ctw round brilliant with a i1 clarity and h color is a lot more common then a 1.50ctw round brilliant with a si2 clarity and f color and that alone could easily make a diamond like 40% more expensive.

  • @Jwinter25
    @Jwinter25 6 лет назад +3

    I'm all for purchasing online...But throwing the rip-off tag might be a bit harsh. Not all stores are looking to rip-off their customers, especially if the buyer is informed (which should always be the case). Chain retail stores need to address overhead, have to make some margin and may have investors to answer to. It's business 101...so of course it will be more expensive. Pay more...you can see the diamond first hand...pay less...you can only see online...Its a give and take. I will say, James Allen does do a great job of giving you a detailed look at the diamond on-line.

    Hello @Rick Buck, I'm Ricardo (a perfectionist too) from México. I want to thank you a lot for your information. Im sure you´re helping a lot of people. I just have one question since I'm combining all the best attributes and getting prices to high for me; which attributes would yo give more weight between Color and Clarity? And from which level and up would you say the money is not worth it in each case?. Bonus question; is it that big of a deal to get 0.95 Carat instead of 1? Which cut is more trendy nowadays? Princes Cut or Round

    • @Sharon-pb7so
      @Sharon-pb7so 6 лет назад +1

      Ricardo Valdés Cut is the most important, then clarity, then color. If you can find a diamond that's VS1, G, and has an excellent, excellent, excellent GIA report you're buying a good, no, really great diamond. Going just under a carat is better than being an exact carat because the cutter will frequently cut the diamond off just a bit to preserve weight. Round diamonds have more sparkle than any other cut. The excellent, excellent, excellent GIA rating stands for excellent cut, polish and symmetry.

    • @Sharon-pb7so
      @Sharon-pb7so 6 лет назад +1

      I forgot to answer your last question.... which is most trendy. A round diamond is very traditional a princess cut is more trendy. That said, don't let any jeweler tell you anything other than a round cut will cost more because it's more exotic or complicated to cut. It's a lie. Never buy a marquise shape, they are almost always included and lack sparkle unless your girl has her heart set on one. Then, you're going to have a lot of homework to do because of the bow tie and other issues with that cut.

      @MrSuprafly1 6 лет назад +1

      Don’t waste your $$ on clarity enhanced. If you have a ring with a clarity enhanced diamond, you take it to a jewelry store to have it cleaned and if they are unaware, odds are the “gel” used to fill the holes in the diamond (to remove the inclusions they can) will come out when being steam cleaned or even from being in the ultrasonic for too long. If you’re on a tight budget maybe a lab created diamond or even a moissanite would be a better option.

    • @Namron9797
      @Namron9797 6 лет назад +2

      You get a lab-grown diamond. They are real, true diamonds. (only they grew in different environments)
      If you still can't afford that, then get a moissanite. Never do a CZ as they show wear too quickly and other white stones don't sparkle and look flat.

      Can’t go wrong with a black diamond. They are very reasonable and will definitely hold up better than an onyx. I will say they typically won’t be “excellent cut” but on the contrary of what the uneducated guy talking in the video said it will be fine. Usually depending on the size they can range from under $100 to no more than $1500 from what I’ve seen.

    The 4 C's of engagement ring shopping are highly subjective. It all depends on the person. I think Rick does a great job with this video, but I'd advise all of you to do your own research and be very thorough both online and in talking to your partner before you buy.

    AGS is a great report, this guy knows some stuff but nothing any body couldn't google. GIA is awesome and I use it for my store. But as for a "rip off", I wouldn't go that far. DO you pay a mark up? Absolutely, but there hasn't been a website out there blue nile etc that my prices don't match up too. So maybe he is bitter because he was ripped off once upon a time. there is no doubt people get taken advantage of in this industry, but no more than repair work on your car. When you have a brick and motor store you have overhead, insurance to pay for your employees, money to go in their pocket. I would simply say, if you buy from a small local jewelry store you would be doing your community and yourself a much better service. I don't know a small business owner that wouldn't compete with online to keep the business local. Not to mention someone will be working for you.

    • @Namron9797
      @Namron9797 6 лет назад

      Asking for a general price on a diamond is like asking a mechanic how much it will cost to fix the noise in your car. There are dozens of factors that play together to get a price.
      Some tips: 1. You pay a premium (no set amount) the moment you hit 1.00ct diamond, then again at 1.5 etc etc. And the pricing for varying color/clarity grows as the diamond gets larger. For instance, a 2ct SI2 color H might be $500 more than a 2ct SI2 color I (even though it's only 1 shade darker)

    I'm a jeweler and certified gemologist (GIA). I can tell you that the best deals you can get on diamonds is from a Pawn Shop. A lot of pawnshops have diamonds that they collect and then sell off to wholesalers which in turn sell them to jewelers to be set into the rings that this guy is telling you how to buy here on RUclips. You can get the diamond for far less by going to the source which is pawn shops. Pawnshops get 100's of calls a month from wholesalers and brokers trying to buy up their excess stones. You can get certified diamonds for a fraction of what the jeweler or wholesaler buys them for. What you do is shop around and find the absolute best deal you can find. By the way, GIA is a for-profit lab as well. They are a school that gives them non-profit status (the school end of it) however the diamond end of it is for-profit 100%!!! (I went there, I know!) . The real way to buy a diamond as a gift is if it looks good to you and has everything you want in a diamond, and it's got a certification from ANY of the reputable grading services, and lastly if the price is right for you in comparison to other diamonds you have looked at. That's all that matters. You are NOT making an investment! There are no 1-2ct actual investment diamonds. In the end, anyone that buys a diamond less than 7-10cts for investment is a fool. Diamonds are not an investment. They are an overpriced piece of compressed and heated carbon and nothing more. They are very common. Machines now make them. In the very near future machines will be making ALL the diamonds in the world and of any size or color you like. Prices will fall drastically. Lastly, this video educates you on diamonds. It doesn't educate you on how to buy them at a fair price. EVERY regular jewelry store in America is still making well over 100% profit on every stone sold. Mall stores are the worst places to buy. A mall store has a rent of $30,000 - $50,000 a month and that's just the rent! Where do you think they get the money to pay that rent each month? (Hint: Your pocket!).

    As someone that used to buy and sell diamond rings.. 3 things
    1. Make sure the diamond has been through the “Kimberly process”, means it’s not a blood diamond
    2. Buy second hand, diamonds are sold for over 10x their actual value the first time
    3. Make sure it’s not a moissanite, it’s a created diamond, but will test as a real diamond.
    Any other questions please ask !

    • @ayeshaali1392

      A moissanite isn't a created diamond, its a stone of its own and they create it in a lab as the original source is so rare. Also research shows the Kimberly process can be cheated easily by transporting diamonds before selling, etc

    Jewelry stores are absolutely not the ones to worry about "ripping you off" -- unless you're taking about a box store. Shop with a local family owned jewelry store-- they have your best interest in mind and their reputation on the line so they're interested in making customers happy, and they're also available to service your jewelry. An online company has zero interest in you beyond your initial purchase. You're fearmongering by making people think REAL jewelers are interested in ripping you off.

    Focus on gold! Diamonds are immensely abundant. If you need to buy a diamond, all that matters is the cut and size. Woman will not understand quality or care. VVS doesn't mean anything to them, but 2 or 3 carats does and a good cut will make it twinkle more.

    • @Namron9797
      @Namron9797 5 лет назад

      Yeah, ALL of you are wrong.
      1. Diamonds are chosen because it is the ONLY material on earth that will last for millions of years if taken care of. Name one single thing that can claim to last that long. Go on...really, go ahead and name one. (You cant) Now factor in that it can be passed down for generations and carry all that sentiment with it...
      2. There is no true substitute for diamond that has the same refractive index and durability. Moissanite is the closest, but can often have a green or yellow hue to them and isnt natural. White sapphire is garbage and looks like cheap glass. And the difference in hardness is 100x less than a diamond.
      3. It takes billions, literally billions, to start and operate a diamond mine. Also, current mines only have 150 years max before they are depleted. They arent just expensive because someone says so. De Beers doesnt own the diamond market anymore and havent for decades now.
      Just because YOU don't find worth in it doesn't mean it has no worth. You like that house you live in, your car, whatever ring you wear now? Thank diamonds for all of it cause if it werent for diamond blades those things would be ugly or significantly more expensive to buy.
