Buying a diamond
So you are getting engaged and you want to show your union with a Diamond ring.
That’s Great!
But how do you know what you are buying is really a diamond?
Well you go to a jeweller and you ask for one.
Ok!
But how do you know what the jeweller is selling you is in fact a diamond?
Well you go to a jeweller you trust and where you get a certificate or diamond grading report.
Fantastic!
But how do you know that the report or certificate is real?
Oh my!
Yes! you are quite right, how would you know?
The only way is to check the credentials of the Laboratory.
How do you do this?
The easiest way is to see which diamond governing bodies recognises the specific laboratory.
What if the laboratory that has certified the diamond is, NOT recognised?
Well then it is best NOT to buy that diamond. Rather find another stone from another store.
Bottom line, if the retailer, Jeweller or internet retailer, is selling diamonds with unrecognised,in-house or Non compliant certificates. then shop else where. You will be ripped of or short changed if you buy with out proper certificates.
For a list of laboratories that are recognised by the International diamond bodies see:

My advice is to take great care and do the research before you buy.take special care if you are buying in Melbourne.
Zowie….These are nice gems on this site. In fact, all the jewelry on this site is unique and eye-catching. I love color to my jewelry and this site has it all. And styles to suit everyone. Even some old fashioned goodies. Another site you will definitely want to visit is http://www.mydovechocolate.com where you can enter the “Expressions of Love” contest by Dove. Simply describe why you love your honey in a creative and emotional way and you could win a 21K dollar “Baby’s Breath Diamond Necklace” to enjoy. Make it a memorable Valentine’s Day for you and your honey by entering today. I work for them so I am in the know and wanted to pass it along. Happy V-Day!
I know it’s not even close to Valentine’s Day yet as of this moment but Christmas is just around the corner and I happen to love the gorgeous gems on your site. Too bad I didn’t find this site sooner. The smokey quartz cocktail ring particularly caught my attention as my wardrobe is actually filled with tops and dresses of brown shades and this fabulous ring will definitely be a perfect match for my outfits. I wouldn’t want to wait until the next Valentine’s day so I would probably give a hint to my man about this cocktail ring – I just hope it’s still available!
I just love that necklace, I actually have something similar to that and I’m interested to find the stylish men’s necklace.
