A certificate of authenticity is useful in authenticating and evaluating individual diamond characteristics or whole diamond engagement rings. But there are other subtle aspects to purchasing a diamond engagement ring and you should not base your final decision solely on a laboratory report.
For instance, the certificate certainly describes your diamond’s characteristics, yet falls short in expressing the true beauty and relative value of your stone. To be specific, two diamonds can be described as having the very same characteristics on a lab report, yet each can have a very different cost and the certificate won’t explain why.
For example, two diamonds can have the same clarity grade of SI2 but the one that costs more can be leaning towards an SI1 clarity grade and the other can be leaning towards an I1 clarity grade. And this fine distinction can also be applied to color and cut grading.
Transparency When Buying Diamonds
When shopping in person at Damasci, you could experience clarity, color and cut grading for yourself, by viewing the diamond of your choice under magnification. And then you can develop an informed opinion of your own.
If you are unable to visit our flagship store, Damasci online offers a high quality image and/or video of each individual diamond, giving you the opportunity to explore the accuracy of your diamond’s grading. . Seeing the diamond magnified will allow you to judge for yourself if the stone is the right purchase for you and if you are getting the best possible value for your money, while staying within your budget.
