Ten Ways To Make Sure That Buying Diamond jewellery On The Internet Works Well For You
Only a few short years ago, going to a physical jewellery store was the only option for the vast majority of people buying diamond jewellery. And there were not many high street jewellers if you wanted anything other than low-cost costume jewellery or low-quality jewellery pieces.
Many people in the UK will remember how the Chairman of one of Britain's major jewellery retailers referred to the products supplied in his chain of high-street jewellery shops as "crap." This comment was made by Gerald Ratner, Chairman of one of Britain's largest jewellery chains. In the same address, he also added, "We even offer a set of [gold] earrings for less than £1," which was an interesting statement. "There are those who will say things like, 'That's cheaper than a prawn sandwich!'... I have to say that the sandwich is likely to be more durable than the earrings."
Online Jewellery Buying Brings Great Choice And Value
The proliferation of the Internet has made it possible for customers to purchase jewellery of a high quality that is most assuredly not "crap." Jewellery enthusiasts can purchase high-quality pieces in a dizzying array of designs at unimaginable prices in Gerald Ratner's day, thanks to the proliferation of online shopping.
The problem is that new opportunities for jewellery buyers also allow dishonest people to take advantage of unscrupulous people by taking advantage of consumers. This article will help you avoid falling victim to fraud and ensure you receive the value and quality you deserve. It will also provide some tips on what red flags to look out for.
On the Internet, many con artists and scammers are waiting for the right moment to take advantage of an ignorant customer. When we consider all of this, we are left with the question of whether or not it is safe to buy diamond jewellery online.
Ten Ways To Avoid Being Scammed When You Buy Diamond Jewellery Online
If you want to avoid being scammed when making any kind of transaction online, there are a few things you must always keep in mind. The following advice will assist you in avoiding the risk of losing money to an offer that appears to be too good to be true:
1. Reputation matters! The market for diamond jewellery is quite competitive online, with thousands of different vendors to choose from. Certain companies have a solid reputation, while others do not. Be sure that the firm you are purchasing from is respectable and not some fly-by-night website that was only established and has no history.
All Diamond is here for the long haul and is already well past the fly-by-night stage! In our case, we are relative newcomers. Still, we have a long family history in diamond jewellery working from physical locations.

2. Communication is important. If you shop for jewellery online, the retailer you choose should offer you more than one option to get in touch with the company in case you have any issues. Check with other individuals on message forums and review websites such as Trustpilot to learn about their experiences with the various internet companies. This is our profile on the review website Trustpilot: Our TrustPilot reviews
We offer an online chat service on all our product pages where you can contact us to ask questions. We are happy to advise you live. If we are not available late at night or on national holidays, you can leave a message, and we will reply as soon as possible. You can contact us by email and through our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
3. Diamond jewellery is fascinating, so brush up on your knowledge and learn as much as possible about what you want to buy. If a business is nothing more than a scam, it will spread false information in order to appear educated. However, if you do your research, you will be able to identify these companies from a mile away.
A trustworthy business will work with you to ensure that you understand diamond jewellery and know exactly what you are purchasing. They will assist you through the entirety of the buying process, guiding you toward the best choice possible.
We have a section of the website that provides information about diamond jewellery, precious stones and precious metals. https://alldiamond.co.uk/pages/education. In addition, we publish 2 or 3 articles on our blog each week. The articles detail all aspects of fine jewellery with buying advice, information about trends and in-depth guidance about our jewellery.
4. A reliable business will provide customer assistance that is always available, hopefully around the clock. They are always available to assist you, even if you haven't yet purchased from them. A fraudulent business is simply concerned with pressuring you to make a purchase and will not provide any customer service.
At All Diamond, you can use our live chat service or email at help@alldiamond.co.uk. We will keep in contact with you by email throughout the purchase and delivery process. Our complete contact information is always available from our FAQ page.
5. Make sure you are familiar with the retailer's return policy. Make sure that you have a complete understanding of the return policy and that you are familiar with every aspect of it. The best businesses will be flexible enough to cope with minor problems arising from the policy! It is in your best interest not to wait until after you have spent your money to find out that you will not be able to get your money back from the purchase you made because you did not follow the policy correctly.
While we hope you do not need to use it, we offer a 30-day return and exchange service effective from the day you take delivery of your new jewellery. We do our best to be flexible and considerate of your needs.
6. Buy from jewellery specialists! Steer clear of any business that offers diamonds in addition to products that have nothing to do with diamond jewellery, such as clothing, potpourri, computer equipment, and so on. Such businesses may not be scammers; most are probably not. However, they will almost certainly not have the specialist knowledge to help you get the best from your budget and meet your needs.
7. Wherever possible, buy diamond jewellery that is provided with a diamond grading report. Not all reports are of the same standard, but an independent report will always reassure you that you have purchased what you paid for!
Having such a diamond grading report or certificate is not always possible, especially when the main diamond is smaller than one carat. However, if a company does not offer diamond grading reports on any of their jewellery, take that as a red flag! Avoid retailers that use diamond grading reports that are written in-house. There is no way to ensure such a report is accurate in its assessment.

Here at All Diamond, we have many pieces of diamond jewellery that come with a diamond grading report from either the GIA or EDR. In common with many other jewellers, apart from specific collections, we do not offer grading reports on diamonds smaller than one carat. The logistics and cost make it impossible to do so on all of our diamond jewellery
8. Check the guarantee! You should expect a workmanship guarantee lasting many years, perhaps even a lifetime! Quality jewellery should last for many years; after all, precious metals and diamonds do not degrade over time! Of course, a piece of jewellery may eventually show signs of wear; that's to be expected.
We stand behind the work of our artisans and designers and offer a lifetime workmanship guarantee on all of our jewellery purchases. All of our jewellery is designed and handcrafted here in the UK to last a lifetime. It seems reasonable to guarantee it that way too!
9. Buy from a reputable diamond jewellery specialist. Suppose you want to ensure that the diamond jewellery you buy is of the greatest possible quality. In that case, you should avoid buying it from a wholesaler who deals in a wide variety of things unrelated to diamonds.
Suppose you want to make sure that the diamond you buy is of the greatest possible quality. In that case, you should avoid buying it from a wholesaler who deals in a wide variety of things unrelated to fine jewellery and instead buy from a reputable diamond specialist.

10. Don't pay too little! While we pride ourselves on offering great value and quality, there are limits to what is possible! If the price seems much lower than is available elsewhere, there is probably a good reason! Scammers often seek out bargain hunters and tempt them with unbelievable prices – usually, such deals are not the bargain they might at first appear to be. This is where a little knowledge about diamonds and jewellery will be a big help, as knowledge is power. You will be able to spot the '" too good to be true" deals and recognise them for what they are!
If you are armed with the information you will find on our blog, and in the education section of our site, you will be well prepared for buying diamond jewellery.
