Princess Cut Diamond

Want to keep that Brilliance and Shine? Diamonds require cleaning so that maximum amounts of light can refract fiery brilliance. Remember that all it takes is a few minutes and a little care to keep that diamond as fiery as the day you first saw it.

You can use an small soft brush such as an eyebrow or lip stick brush and soap and water to clean your jewelry. Simply make a bowl of warm sudsy water with a mild detergent and place your pieces in the mixture. Then brush the Diamonds with the soft bristles of the brush while they are in the suds. You will need to make certain that you rinse them clear of the suds after cleaning them. You can use a small kitchen strainer such as a tea strainer to contain them while rinsing under warm water. Use a lint free cloth, or a jewelry polish cloth to pat them dry.

If your Diamonds are in need of a stronger cleansing, you may want to soak them for 30 minutes in a solution of half and half water and ammonia. Once they have soaked for 30 minutes, remove them and gently brush the mountings with a small brush. Then replace the pieces to the solution and swish them around in the mixture before removing them to rinse and pat dry.

If you find your self too busy to be mixing soaps and ammonias, many department stores sell liquid jewelry cleaners. Most are kits, with everything you need included. You need to read the labels to determine the one that is right for your Diamonds and other jewelry. Read the complete directions and follow all the precautions.

And if you find yourself more the 'high-tech type', even in your diamond cleaning routine, there are multiple ultrasonic cleansers on the market. These machines use high-frequency to create a cleaning motion. All machines are not the same, so please read the instructions before using.

Only you can choose the cleaning method right for you. But, it is essential to keep your jewelry clean to keep it brilliant and sparkling. Between cleaning, try not to touch your clean Diamonds with your fingers or handle your jewelry by its edges. This will help maintain its shine and brilliance for longer periods.

Why You Need To Clean Your Diamond Jewelry

First, have the Gem appraised. In fact, have it appraised by two or three jewelers to get an accurate idea of the Gem value. Tell the appraiser that you want the Rapaport Value. This is the wholesale value of the Gem, and it basically tells you the highest price that you can sell your Gem for. If your Gem has no certificate, you should consider getting a certificate from GIA. This may help you get a better price for the Gem as well.

First, try to sell the Gem yourself, to people you know. Friends and family members may be interested. If you don't have any luck with friends or family members, you should turn to outside sources. Absolutely avoid pawn shops! A pawn shop will only offer you about 10% of what the Gem is worth! Also avoid offers of selling the ring on consignment. There are many things that can go wrong, and there is no shortage of Gem scams - even in well known jewelry stores.

If the Gem is important, you should strongly consider auctioning it off through one of the famous auction houses, such as Christie's or Sotheby's. If it isn't what is considered an 'important' Gem or a high-end Gem, you should try to sell it to an individual using classified ads, or even eBay. However, selling to an individual that you do not know could put you in danger - especially if the Gem is worth a lot of money.

Your final option should be a jewelry store. It is vital that you not let your Gem out of your sight while in the jewelry store - you might find that the Gem you walked in with is not the same Gem that you walk out with! The jeweler will try to tell you that your Gem is of poor quality or low weight. Inevitably, there will be some problem with the Gem. This is where your appraisal and/or certificate will come in handy.

If the jeweler is fair, they will offer you between 60% and 80% of the value of the Rapaport Value. Do not accept anything less than this. Again, do not let the Gem out of your sight until you have been paid for it.

Places To Sell Gem Jewellery

A common scam that most jewelry shops participate in is the Carat Total Weight scam. The tag on the piece of jewelry, usually a ring, only states the total carat weight of all diamonds in the piece, instead of listing the total weights separately for each diamond. This leads consumers to believe that the main diamond in the piece is actually bigger than it is. Ask what the total carat weight of the center stone is. Also beware of fractions. jewelry shops are allowed to round off diamond weights. This means that if the jeweler tells you that it is a 1 carat diamond, it is probably between 0.85 and 1 carat - but closer to 1.

Jewelry shops often run 'fluorescence' scams to varying degrees. Referring to a diamond as a blue-white diamond is such a scam. A blue-white diamond sounds very unique and special, but in fact, this type of diamond is of lesser quality - even though the jeweler will try to make you think you are getting something special. jewelry shops also like to show their diamonds in bright lights. Lights make diamonds shine. Ask to see the diamond in a different, darker type of lighting as well.

Some truly unscrupulous jewelers target those who want appraisals on diamonds that were given to them as gifts or that were purchased elsewhere. They will try to tell you that the diamond is worthless, or worth less than it actually is worth - and offer to take it off your hands or trade it for a much better diamond, along with the cash to make up the difference. This is called low balling. Get a second, third, and even a forth opinion before taking any action.

Another common dirty trick is to switch the diamond you have chosen and paid for with one of lesser quality and value when you leave it to be set in a piece of jewelry, or leave a diamond ring to be sized. The only way to avoid this is to do business with one trustworthy jeweler. Avoid jewelers that you have not done business with in the past.

There are many more scams that jewelry shops commonly pull on unsuspecting consumers. Just use your best judgment, and purchase your diamonds with the utmost care and consideration.

Avoiding Diamond Jewelry Cheats

With a diamond record, you can verify the color, cut, carat, weight, and clarity of the diamond. You don't have to worry about a diamond vendor telling you anything less than the truth, because the record comes from the GIA - not the vendor. You may be required to pay for the record, but the cost is usually low, and in many cases, it will help you negotiate a better price on the diamond - or keep you from purchasing a lower quality diamond altogether.

If you buy a high quality diamond, and then later decide to sell the diamond, you will need to have the record, or you will have a hard time selling it to someone else. Furthermore, you can use the Diamond Grading Report to look up the wholesale value of the diamond in question. Use the guide that is used by the diamond cutting industry.

With the record, or Diamond Grading Report, there won't be any doubts when you are trying to purchase a diamond. You can easily find out what the diamond is worth. This will prevent you from overpaying, and it can prevent a seller from under-charging as well.

A copy of the Diamond Grading Report should be given to your insurance company as well, when you insure the diamond. This provides absolute, unquestionable proof of the value of the diamond should it be stolen in the future. Insurance companies cannot argue with the report.

Avoid diamond vendors who seem reluctant to provide a record! Also avoid sellers who tell you that a record diamond will cost you more - the only additional cost should be the cost of the record, which is low. If the vendor doesn't want to provide a record, then you don't want to do business with that vendor.

Don't accept authentication from Gemological Laboratories other than GIA. There are many fly-by-night Gemological labs these days, but in the end, GIA has been established as the most respectable and trustworthy - not to mention oldest - of the lot. So avoid vendors who don't want to use GIA for certification purposes as well.

Don't buy an expensive diamond without paying the extra cost of the record. If a vendor tries to convince you to make the purchase without the record, or if they want to use a company other than GIA, you can be sure that the vendor has probably greatly inflated the price of the diamond - they have something that they are hiding from you.

The Must Read Facts About Diamond Documentation

The Dresden Green stands out among the natural colored gems. It is the largest green gem in the world weighing 40.70 carats. This gem is historic, large and has a natural green color with a slight blue overtone. These facts make it virtually priceless.

The Taylor-Burton gem is a pear-shaped 69.42 carat gem. Cartier of New York purchased this gem at an auction in 1969 and christened it "Cartier." The next day Richard Burton bought the gem for Elizabeth Taylor. He renamed it the "Taylor-Burton". In 1978, Elizabeth Taylor put the gem up for sale.

What Are The Most Well Known Diamond Gems In The World

A prong setting is sometimes called claw setting. It is the most commonly gemstone setting and works perfectly with the eternity rings. To create a prong setting, a gem is inserted into three or more metal prongs that form a basket-like base. Once this is completed the ends of the prongs are bent over and shaped so that they rest against the gem to hold it into place. When dealing with channel setting is where the gemstones or diamonds are set in a channel. This specific setting has two walls of metal and between each a gem or diamond is set. Once this is completed the ring looks to be in a suspended groove. An eternity ring would look great in a channel setting! Invisible setting is a style in which rows of square princess cut diamonds or gemstones are lined up perfectly next to one another within a metal border. But no metal separates them. This invisible setting is an ideal setting for any type of ring especially the eternity ring. Pave setting is a specific technique for small diamonds. The stones are set tightly together so the end result does not show any metal. When the surface of the eternity ring is covered with small diamonds, the technique itself is called Pav that means paved. It stands, as a great name due to the fact the surface looks somewhat like a street paved with cobblestones. The eternity ring can be a nice ring to get when searching for rings for different occasions. An eternity ring has variety in the fact it can be used in various amounts of events, an engagement, wedding or promise ring.

Any one of these different types of setting can be a perfect setting for an eternity ring. The choice of setting fully depends on the specific interest in the buyer. An Preset Engagement Rings is very adaptable and any type of setting would work well! The exact taste a person has when it comes to choosing a ring is very important.

Finding The Best Ring For Your Special Someone

The diamond is a precious gemstone known all over the world for its value. You might be surprised to learn that although the diamond is the most coveted stone in the world, making more in sales than all other precious stones combined, it is simply made up of simple carbon.

Before diamonds are known to the public eye, they undergo a process of mining, grading, cutting, and polishing, transforming from a rough diamond into a sparkling precious gemstone. But it just doesn't stop there. What makes the diamond arrive in its final perfect form is the setting of the stone, completing the jewelry.

Diamond settings are the platform or the foundation in which the diamond sits. There are different settings available for different types of jewelry, whether you're looking into buying a ring, necklace, or earrings. When jewelers acquire loose diamonds, it's best to consider their shape and cut before placing the stone or stones in its setting. Certain settings enhance the beauty of the diamond shape better than others.

For example, the pear shape diamond is more commonly used in pendants and drop earrings, while the princess cut diamond is more used in engagement rings as a solitaire.

Here are just some of the questions or decisions to ask:

1. Do you like yellow gold, white gold or platinum?

2. Would you like your diamond to be a solitaire or adorned with smaller stones? You can either choose smaller diamonds or another type of stone, like sapphires or emeralds.

3. Try wearing different settings before deciding. What you like and what looks good on you might be two different things altogether. 4. Know your taste, whether it is vintage, modern, romantic or floral.

5. Ask help from a reputable diamond jeweler on what style and setting would be best for your diamond and you. Although it's a matter your personal taste, it won't hurt to ask for an opinion from an expert.

Diamond Ring Settings

How much would it be to replace a 1/3 princess cut diamond in engagement ring?

The jeweler from which it came from told me it would be my responsibility to cover the cost. However, I have been reading some bad stories of how this specific jeweler does terrible repair work & often uses cheap diamonds. Therefore, i'm looking to take it somewhere who charges a reasonable price but also does a good job. Any suggestions and price estimations?

Do you mean the price of the diamond? If so, a .33-carat princess cut starts around $235, depending on clarity, color, etc. I looked up the price on http://www.diamondpriceguru.com/. They list the prices and other details of diamonds at about 10 different retailers.

If you mean the price of just the service, not the diamond, it should be a lot less. Resizing a ring costs about $35 at a mall jeweler, so I'd suspect similar ring work to be close in price.

I hope this helps.

Eternity Bands – An Everlasting Way To Begin A Glorious Life Together

Brilliant Style Shape

Princess cut diamonds are considered brilliant-style shaped because of their vertically angled crown and tent-like facets. This particular cut takes advantage of the light by bouncing it around within the diamond. Once you’ve seen one, it’s easy to understand why they call it brilliant. Princess-cut stones are usually sparklier than ordinary square-cut diamonds, which is one reason for the princess-cut popularity. While the beauty of princess cut diamonds is more than enough reason to choose one, there are usually less expensive then other diamonds of the same carat weight too.

Higher Weight Yield Equals Lower Price

Princess cut diamonds allow more of the natural crystals weight to be utilized. This results in higher yields of weight which allows for lower prices. When examining a rough diamond crystal, gem cutters try to determine the cut that will allow for not only the best look but also the best profit margin, after all they are businesspeople as well as artists. The weight yield of a princess-cut diamond can be as high as 62%, much higher than that of a round cut. It is common for two of these diamonds to be cut from one single crystal. The rough diamond crystal is simply sliced in half through the middle. Naturally, this allows jewelers to charge less for a stone of the same final carat weight. Princess cut diamonds are also less likely to show the natural flaws left by their uncut corners.

Princess Cut Corner Inclusions

The corners of princess cut diamonds are usually rough crystal edges untouched by the gem cutter. When inspecting the unset diamond, the corners of princess cuts are where you’re most likely going to find flaws or inclusions. Inclusions are small bubbles of gas or liquid caught inside the diamond crystal. Fortunately, princess cut diamonds are almost always set in a four-prong setting which conveniently hides the imperfections in the stone. Although you may not be able to see these flaws, proper care must still be taken to protect the diamond from becoming chipped or even cracked. Most consumers still find this tiny disadvantage not the least bit discouraging to their decision to buy princess cut diamonds.

To sum up, princess cut diamonds are growing in popularity and for good reason. Their brilliant style grabs the light and bounces it around in a delightful way, they are often less expensive than their round counterparts and set in such a way as to hide the natural imperfections you’ll find in most stones. Not always considered “classy” since their development twenty-five years ago, they were destined to catch on eventually. It is evident by the rising demand for princess cut diamonds in the current jewelry market that they finally have.
