Tips For Buying A Diamond Necklace

Are you looking for a diamond necklace? Here, in this diamond necklace buying guide, is what you should know to find the perfect diamond necklace of your dreams at a price you can afford. The first thing to know is what kind of necklaces are available and which ones are best suited for you and your budget. These are essential pieces of information when looking for a diamond necklace; knowing which ones you should buy first can save you time and money.

Women of all ages have adored diamond necklaces since time immemorial. You can find a diamond necklace almost anywhere these days. Diamonds are also found in a wide variety of settings, from claw or prong to rub over and tension. Each setting type has its look and advantages, as you will see when you browse our necklace collections.

A necklace of fine diamonds can be given as a gift to someone special, or you may wish to purchase a beautiful diamond necklace for yourself. Either way, if you think of buying a diamond necklace, you should know what to look for.

Diamond And Precious Metal Basics

The first thing to know is that there are four Cs: colour, cut, clarity, and carat weight when buying diamonds. There is no simple way to classify diamonds other than by their physical properties. Diamonds are naturally coloured and come in a rainbow of colours; most of the diamonds we buy are white or almost colourless. Less expensive 'white' diamonds may have a slight yellow tint that may range from nearly unnoticeable to being rather apparent under close inspection.

Coloured diamonds, often called fancy diamonds, may come in a wide range of shades. In jewellery, pink diamonds are becoming popular, but there are blue, green, red, purple, black and yellow with many shades in between.

The most expensive and finest diamonds usually command prices in the six-figure range. Often, people are shopping for a diamond necklace for a birthday or anniversary and are not overly concerned with price, but rather what the stone says about their personality.

Diamond necklaces can be incredibly beautiful; elegant, or simple in their design. A well-chosen necklace can make a big difference in the appearance of a woman and her wardrobe. Since diamonds are such precious stones, it is essential to choose wisely.

Necklace colour is easy; you choose whether you would prefer a colourless or coloured diamond necklace. Most people choose the classic white diamond. For the precious metal, many people choose white gold or platinum for their diamond necklaces but do not be afraid to consider something more unusual such as the classic yellow gold or the warm romance of rose gold.

The next step is to consider the structure of the piece. There are single-chain necklaces, double-chain necklaces, and triple-chain necklaces. A single-chain necklace is probably going to be the least expensive choice. On the other hand, a double-chain necklace will look more formal than a single chain, but it will also cost you more money. Most people choose a single chain with their pendant necklace. You can always buy a different chain to dress up your pendant in the future.

Diamonds come in many different sizes, shapes, and colours, so you will have many different options for choosing the perfect diamond necklace. Some women prefer diamonds that sparkle, while others prefer a more solid appearance. White diamonds are always a safe bet and are easily enhanced with other stones such as sapphires, emeralds or rubies. Coloured gemstones can go with almost any outfit and can also sparkle, but they can be a little trickier to work with. Perhaps their versatility is why white diamonds are the popular choice.

Most women choose simple diamond pendant necklaces. These necklaces are usually simple in design, which makes it easy to add accessories and change up the style as often as you would like. And no matter what kind of diamond necklaces you decide on, remember always to buy a good quality piece from a reputable jeweller.

Of course, budget is always an essential factor when looking for the perfect diamond necklace or any other piece of fine jewellery. Shopping for a necklace does not have to be expensive, and the quality of diamonds will vary widely. However, there are some things you can do to save money when shopping for fine jewellery. If you want to be sure you get the best deal, follow the tips below.

Whichever design or style you choose, you will see that we have worked hard to maximise the value of your purchase by selecting an appropriate grade of diamond in shapes that serve to enhance the look of your new jewellery. For example, check out the grades of the diamonds we use. Most are graded as G/SI because that is a sweet spot for most diamond jewellery where any natural imperfections are invisible in typical situations.

We do not recommend spending money on a diamond grade that nobody, apart from a professional jeweller or gemologist, will ever be able to notice. On the other hand, we do not use any diamonds that are flawed to such an extent that imperfections can be seen to save a few pounds on the purchase price.
