About Diamonds

Man may also help a diamond gain the lovely colors we so want to see in a Diamond through Electron and neutron bombardment or Irradiation causing a diamond to change in color giving it light blue or light green color.  Diamonds range from opaque to translucent to total transparency.

Diamonds are also enhanced with high temperatures of Heat, a Champagne Diamond may reflect more fire to the human eye with added heat treatment.  Regardless these treatments are permanent and only add to the beauty of the Diamond.

When buying your Diamond You may choose to select a seller on a site your are now visiting.  The reason being is that a wholesale price is more enticing than the Highly Marked up retail prices we see in stores.  Sellers on this site can offer wholesale prices because they buy large quantities of a gem and cut out the \'many\' middle men.

Actually when you buy from a retail setting your Mark up may be as much as 1000%!!  Many Jewelry stores in the Mall or local jewelers in your own town do not have a working or even visiting Gemologist on site and are just another paid sales person.  That diamond may have been sold 20 times \'or likely many more...\' before ever arriving to the local store you walked in to.  The jewelry store is there to make a profit and many times the Sales person will simply tell you what you want to hear to make the sale.  For this reason alone Look at the sellers on this site, Look each sellers at feedback before considering making a purchase,  Look at Qualification of the seller. Look at the prices offered.  All of these issues should make a difference in the gem you buy in the end.

Ask questions of your seller, in fact ask several sellers the same questions!  See what kind of response you get from each and go from there with your purchase!  Asking many questions can make all the difference in your purchase transaction.  If you have any questions you can always email the Gemstone Sheriff or Gemstone Advisory Panel,  This site offers help to all buyers gladly!  Enjoy your experience.
