Tips for finding fine gems in the city
When looking at fine gems and jewelry in metropolitan areas, it makes sense to buy from sellers that stand behind their products. Investing in high-end pieces should involve some degree of authentication when not making purchases from revered jewelers or retail venues, and many buyers may want to enlist assistance from area diamond experts to ensure they are getting what they are paying for.
Perhaps the most popular gem among consumers are diamonds. When looking at diamonds NYC is a city with much to offer potential buyers. There are gifted artisans, jewelers, and craftsmen that will provide unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry items to really showcase the stone and sparkle. Some vendors may offer unique faceting or unusual settings for the stones, to make their products stand out above the rest.
There is an irresistibly brilliant diamond offered in some retail venues that implement faceting beyond what is typically found in a round, cut diamond. The 90 faceted cut ensures a stone that is brighter and more sparkly than others, and that result in a clear, white stone suitable for settings of all types. Most diamonds are faceted using fewer cuts, which is what gives the stone dimension and depth. This enhanced facet lends to a distinctive shimmer and stone that reflects more light and seems to dance right before the buyer's eyes.
In addition to the facet of the stone, cut also describes the shape or style of the piece. The cut can enhance or impede the setting, so it is important to pay attention to diamonds that are amplifying the attributes of the piece or that seem to change the color of the stone itself.
The color of the diamond is something else to consider. Clear, white stones were always considered the benchmark of a quality stone, however there are some new colored diamonds that are inching their way to surpass the demand and price of these more conventional rocks. For example, there are some vibrant blue, red, and pink diamonds that are considered more valuable and that are priced higher than comparable white diamonds. Be sure that the vendor supports the natural color of the stone and that it is, in fact, a true diamond before making a purchase.
