1. Research Well
Needless to say, we should never purchase anything without prior knowledge on it and this is true in case of choosing up diamonds.
Do well research about the 4C’s – color, clarity, cut and carat weight. Now, start choosing diamonds and check if they meet these criteria.
2. Grading Report
Go for certified diamonds like GIA Certified Diamonds. Before purchasing a diamond, make sure that they have individual grading reports, provided by GIA, HRD, GSI, etc. These reports are completely unbiased, they provide the authentication of the diamond and mention various characteristics of the diamond.
3. Verify The Grading Report
After you are done with checking out the grading reports, now you can verify these reports from different sites, based on the laboratory.
For example, if you want to verify the GIA grading report, then you should visit the GIA laboratory website for verification.
4. Inscription On Diamond Girdle
Each and every diamond will not have this, but it is better if you check for the grading report number of the diamond to be lasered within the diamond. If it is not there, you can get it inscribed while purchasing (on a request).
The laser inscription will be microscopic which will not be visible through naked eyes and so, the outer look of the diamond will not be affected.

5. Payment Method
Pay enough attention to this matter. Don’t get fascinated by the safety certificate of the site.
Check the payment methods as some of the sites may remain strict and allow specific methods only. Get to know the information, understand clearly the consequences and then proceed.
6. Seller Information
The seller plays a great role in the entire procedure. You don’t need to know the seller personally, but you can get to know about him very easily.

Get to know about their business journey like for how long they have been in this business. Don’t forget to have a look on the security matter of the transaction.
7. Evaluate Your Diamond
After you have received the diamond, search for an evaluator and let him evaluate the diamond and give you all the information regarding the diamond. This is how, you can get a final verification on the diamond you bought.
