YouTube Jewellery Videos That Help You Buy The Best Jewellery
When you want to buy diamond jewellery, you need to get the best value for money. As you know, value is not just about buying the cheapest thing. The trick is to get the biggest bang for your buck, or pounds. The best way to get good value is to know more about what you want to buy, that's where YouTube jewellery videos can be a big help! What makes a piece of jewellery look good, how a piece of jewellery is constructed, the characteristics of diamonds – and other precious stones. You need to know about the quality of the precious metals used in making your jewellery.
When I started learning about jewellery, I read a lot. Still, I also looked at many videos because jewellery is about visual beauty, the sparkle, and the fire of a diamond. I wanted to find out how precious metals interact with the rare gemstones that All Diamond used in their jewellery. YouTube videos helped me to understand all this and more.
Here are some of the channels I have used and the reasons why you might find them helpful before you buy your next piece of jewellery, whether it is for yourself or as a gift to a loved one.

Videos All About Diamond Quality
The first channel I would recommend to anyone planning to buy diamond jewellery is The Official GIA Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAf_v-BJ2i1QfoI8GAuBHTw This channel is run by the Gemological Institute of America, the foremost diamond certification organisation in the world and the source of almost all diamond certificates for All Diamond products. Their videos expertly and clearly show everything you need to know about diamond quality. You will learn how diamonds are graded and how to make sure that you get what you want when you buy diamond jewellery.
Here’s one of their videos about how to choose a diamond.
Hallmarking, The Assurance Of Purity In Gold, Silver and Platinum
In The UK we have strict laws about how precious metals can be sold. This legislation is an early form of consumer protection designed to ensure that people were not ripped off when they bought items made of gold, silver and more recently platinum. Not many people know what a hallmark means. The London Assay Office has a YouTube channel that tells you all about hallmarking. Discover what hallmarking means, and why you should not buy gold, silver or platinum unless it has been hallmarked in the UK.
The channel can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/user/LondonAssayOffice

Jewellery Design – The Reason We Choose A Particular Piece Of Jewellery
The design of a piece of jewellery is why we choose one piece over another. Of course, we want to get the right diamonds, the right precious metals, but we love a piece for the way it looks. I wanted to learn more about how jewellery was designed, what works, what doesn’t, and I found several channels that were a great help.
