How to Make Sure Your Jeweler is Reputable
When you’re shopping for the best diamonds engagement rings, you’re really at the mercy of the jeweler, unless you know how to spot the intricacies of a good diamond. But many times, finding a reputable jeweler is as hard as finding the perfect diamond—you’re not sure what makes it perfect, but you’re hoping you’ll know it when you see it.
According to findmyjeweler.com, there are 7 signs of a less-than reputable jeweler:
1. They only sell IGI certified diamonds (Generally, it’s best to stick with GIA, AGS, or EGL)
2. They sell laser drilled stones (GIA always labels their stones that are lazer drilled)
3. They sell clarity-enhanced diamonds
4. They won’t show you a diamond under a scope. (This is a huge red-flag that would rub any shopper the wrong way. What are they trying to hide?)
5. They sell poorly cut, cloudy stones.
6. They push you to buy right away, instead of truly educating you to make the right purchase.
7. Their salespeople are part-time or seasonal instead of full-time experienced employees who truly know what they’re talking about.
ID Jewelry is a member of the New York Diamond Dealers Club, the Better Business Bureau, and GIA, to name a few.
