For a long time it was considered unusual to buy gems and jewelry online. Especially for the purchase of a diamond the local jeweler was trusted instead of researching the internet. This is changing bit by bit, as the quality of online sellers for diamonds has been increasing continuously for years. In the following, I would like to introduce the three best online shops and explain their advantages and disadvantages. Because buying diamonds online has many benefits and you should know about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, when we are talking about diamonds we should always have the quality on top of our mind and that refers to the diamond cut more than anything. That’s where the grading reports of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)<\/a> come in. GIA’s grading reports hold the highest authority in the marktet but things are are also changing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


The advent of lab-grown diamonds has fundamentally changed the diamond industry and its wake the International Gemological Institute (IGI)<\/a> has become much more important for lab-grown diamonds specifically. The top seller online usually offer GIA- and IGI-graded diamonds. We will later talk about the specific differences, they are not as big as most people think. But first, let’s get to the more important factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why buying a diamond online may seem difficult at first, but it is not<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many\ncustomers still find it hard to believe that by far the most diamonds are now\nsold online and not in jewelry stores. The online purchase of a diamond has\nmany advantages. It is well known that when buying a diamond, the 4C’s are\nimportant, namely color, clarity, carat and cut. The differences between the\ndifferent categories, such as color differences between a G and H diamond, are\nnot visible to the naked eye. Besides a magnifying glass and a sample stone,\nyou need calm and perfect lighting conditions. In a jewelry shop this is often\nnot guaranteed. Online, on the other hand, you can take the time you need, and\nwith the help of online tools the seller can view diamonds digitally and 20x\nmagnification in perfect light conditions. In addition, there are same day delivery\noptions and a return option of up to four weeks. Not least because of these\narguments the online market for diamonds is growing steadily. In order not to\nfall for scammers, I will describe three online shops in the following, with\nwhich I have made good experiences both as a customer and in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In summary,\nthe quality of the online diamond market has greatly improved in recent years,\nmaking online buying a very good option. Especially sellers like jamesallen\nconvince through price, quality, and customer service. In combination with the\nadvantages compared to an offline purchase, where you have to decide for or\nagainst a diamond under time pressure and not optimal conditions, for me\npersonally everything speaks for choosing and buying my diamonds only online.\nEven though the first purchase cost me some effort, I have not bought a diamond\noffline since the first online purchase, but if I was dissatisfied I chose the\nreturn option from whitflash or jamesallen and got my money back reliably\nwithin 5 working days. For the online purchase, the first step is probably the\nmost difficult one. But trust me, you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
