About Diamonds
Does the thought of purchasing a diamond ring overwhelm you? Maybe you think you
don't know enough about certificates, cuts, shapes, grading scales, or colors to make a
well informed buying decision. There's good news — contrary to what some sales clerks and web sites would like you to
believe, buying a diamond isn't rocket science.
An understanding of diamond grading will give
you the technical information needed when making purchasing decisions. And learning about
the available diamond shapes will help you narrow down
your choices.
