First,
Educate yourself as much as you can about diamonds throughout the EDUCATION page in our website. you should also read other sources as well and try these independent websites:
http://www.diamondtutorials.com/
http://www.diamondinfo.org/
http://www.diamondchatforum.com/
You can find there many articles, explanation, guides and forums about diamonds.
Second,
Decide which properties of the diamond are most important to you; write them down in order of importance: Cost, Carat, Clarity, Color or Cut.
Remember, all characteristics of diamond are important, not just these 5. Make sure you read about them and understand their roll in the final outcome of the diamond.
Changes in them can lead to a significant change in price.
Third,
Finding out the market price for your diamond is the next step. You can compare prices from all other websites and realize at DiamondSphinx.com you can buy diamonds at the lowest most attractive prices. One important thing you should have in mind is that you can compare only extremely similar diamonds. This is because even the slightest difference in one of a diamond’s characteristics can have big implications on its price, such as change in color, cut, clarity measurements and more, so it is important to be accurate when comparing diamonds.
Fourth,
Ask for a certificate. Make sure the certificate of the diamond is from a known independent gemological institute. Here are some from the high-end institutes we work with: GIA, EGL, AGS, HRD, CGL.
Receiving the stone with its certificates assures you that you get what you asked for and nothing else and prevents confusions and questions.
With all that, you can be assured that you will have enough knowledge to buy the appropriate diamond for you (or the person you are buying for).
