Dating S.O.S

Some people like buying everything they can online: it is true that a worldwide market place leaves you with unlimited options in terms of style choice and pricing. The internet is a consumer’s comparison shopping dream!

A growing trend is buying diamonds online. New retailers, such as Ciara diamonds are springing up everywhere. Diamonds are one of those universal things most people love, and as a staple of our culture it is a must-have for any groom-to-be popping the big question.

Not everyone dates a geologist or gemologist though, so educating yourself properly on the quality of diamonds is extremely important. Make sure you know what you are getting, and ensure yourself with an appraisal that the diamond in question was worth the investment. Figure out what is important to you, or the person on the receiving end of the little black box: shine or size. Sometimes a very small tradeoff in clarity of the diamond can mean you can afford a large size gem stone. A small decrease in clarity is often not even visible to the naked eye, so know what you are looking for when asking for “the best of the best”. A bigger diamond may sparkle just as much, or more, than the tiny flawless one you could get instead.
