The thought of saving money is appealing to everyone.  The internet has opened up a whole new world of shopping, so why should buying diamonds be any different to buying a new CD.

Indeed, let’s take the analogy of the CD.  You want the latest release by your favourite artist.  You can either go to your local high street music shop, or buy online…at a cheaper price.  Let’s face it, a CD is a CD, so you can’t go wrong.

Diamonds, on the other hand, represent an emotional purchase, an important financial purchase, and you are always being told by people that each and diamond is different to the next.  This, to a large extent, is true.

However, the world of certified diamonds make life very straightforward as a consumer.  Diamonds nowadays are graded according to an international grading system known as the 4Cs.  You can gauge pretty much everything you need to know about a diamond from its certificate.  A call to the online diamond specialists wouldn’t go amiss either. 

This levels the playing field.  No longer are you trying to buy something that you can’t compare.

Now, going back to the price differential between the high street and the internet.

Imagine walking into a jewellery store.  They will have a window full of diamonds, display cases full of diamonds, nice retail premises, 7 day a week staff costs etc etc, all of which means that their overheads are huge, which they need to recoup in the margins that they charge to their customers.  In other words, a high price.

Online diamond retailers don’t have these overheads, with many specialists making jewellery to order.  As a result, lower prices can be achieved.

There are 2 other factors in favour of buying your diamonds online.  Firstly, the internet represents an incredibly competitive retail environment.  Imagine your local diamond centre in your nearest town.  There are lots of diamond jewellers competing against each other.  Multiply this number several-fold, and this will make the number of diamond retailers in the same ‘virtal’ area, all vying for the same business.  And secondly, if you try on a diamond ring in a jewellery store, the chances are that it will have been sitting in the shop window for some time, and probably tried on and rejected by a number of couples before you.  Buy online, and a diamond ring will be custom made, uniquely for you, as it rightly should be, as it represents a token of your unique love.

The decision is this.  Pay more in a shop, or pay less online.  A decision, but a simple decision at that.
