Fine Jewelry, Who To Buy From, and What To Look For

When seeking to purchase fine diamond jewelry

, just as important as knowing who to buy from is knowing what to look for. Most people have no idea what they are looking for. We are not talking about whether you want a diamond or not but more importantly what type and quality it is.

This holds true for all precious gems. Most jewelers, if you ask them, will be happy to explain the differences to you and most trusted jewelry stores employ a certified Gemologist. When looking for those diamond earrings or that perfect diamond engagement ring, you should always look for a jeweler that has been in business for several, if not many years.

Doing business with a well established diamond jewelry dealer is always a wise move, because as with all things, if they are not trusted they will not stay in business very long. Therefore put your trust in a well established jeweler with a good reputation and standing in the community.

Some people are concerned these days with how and where their diamonds come from, and want what are called fair trade diamonds. "Fair Trade" refers to whether those who extracted the diamonds received fair compensation and benefits for their labors. Also whether working conditions were safe and that steps are taken to insure that there is minimal impact to that environment.

You may be among those with these concerns. If so ask your jeweler and I am sure he will be pleased to give you his standing on the subject and whether his/her jewelry business is in line with the fair trade practice. It is also important to make sure the jeweler subscribes to the Kimberly Process, a system which prevents "blood diamonds" from entering our country.

Everlon diamond jewelry or diamond knot jewelry, as it might be better known, has become very popular. The Everlon Diamond Knot symbolizes the impenetrable strength of love which joins two individuals. The knot is formed by an endless loop, secured at its heart by the strength of a diamond. Like love itself, the diamond will never yield. Its bond is invincible. Love inspires and secures us. The jeweler you choose should have a nice collection of this type of jewelry.

Besides carrying a wide selection of diamond necklaces, diamond pendants and colored diamond jewelry, a quality jeweler will also carry a nice selection of accessories. Even though the most popular purchases of many jewelers is the diamond wedding band (or Diamond Wedding Ring), other gift ideas such as Cuff Links, Tie Tacs, Pins, Money Clips and Key Chains will not be overlooked.

Fine jewelry is not just the purchase of a pretty object, It is an investment and you need to do your homework before you make that decision to buy.
