Most people know have very little technical knowledge about diamonds and may often spend more than they need to on a diamond because it is described as high quality or rare quality or it has a high grade for this or that criterion. But if you take the trouble to learn just a little about how diamonds are valued, you can save a lot of money.

If you make a smart purchase, you can get a 3/4-carat diamond ring for between $950 and $2000. You can get a 1-carat diamond ring for between $1200 and $3500. The trick is to find a lower quality diamond that is not downright ugly. You have to shop the right balance between diamond cut grade, diamond clarity grade and diamond color grade on the GIA rating scale. You should also buy a diamond that is certified by a reputable gem lab such as GIA, IGI, IGL, or EGL-USA.

Like any other business, a jewelry stores reputation precedes itself. After a little due diligence in this area (like where do smart people buy their diamonds) you shouldn’t have much problem in settling into one that you can trust.

The marking and planning process is what determines what shape each diamond will be cut into. An expert planner examines the stone and decides the shape that will make the color look the brightest, will conceal any natural imperfections, and will allow it to be shaped without losing too much of the stone. This planning allows a cut that will maximize the stone’s value.

The jewelry industry has been recycling for millennia. In fact some of the gold in your jewelry could have been in use since the time of Jesus. Damaged beyond repair jewelry is bought at its intrinsic worth. The intrinsic value is the metal (gold, platinum, silver) price plus any gems. The refining process used to recover the metal utilizes strong chemicals and has strict environmental regulations which impact the price given for metal brought to be recycled.

Jewelry styles of the era fell into three broad classes: the Romantic period (1837 to 1860) which was marked by jewelry with complex engravings, subtle enamel work and serpentine designs; the Grand Period (1861 to 1888) which coincided with Victoria’s bereavement and so was marked by 鑽石4c reflecting dark, somber themes; and the Late Victorian period (1889 to 1901) where diamonds ruled and jewelry pieces were decidedly whimsical and spectacular.

TIP! When making jewelry such as a bracelet, remember that beads can be expensive. A good way to find cheaper beads is to go to a thrift store and buy jewelry that is on sale and deconstruct it and use it in your design.

And so, this is time for you to own marcasite jewelry. Which one could be your choice? I by myself already have a listing to buy. I am better with this type of jewelry than buying other jewelries that may be thought to be waste. It is time for you to choose.
