ANTIQUES BUYING TIPS

Diamond Jewelry Buying Tips for the Clueless Guy

If a guy is clueless about diamonds, he might end up giving the girl of his dreams the ugliest diamond there is which will eventually lower or completely destroy all his chances of ending up with the previously mentioned girl. It is therefore important to give some clue to all the diamond-clueless guys out there exactly what to look for when buying diamonds for a girl. First things first. When buying any type of diamond jewelry for a girl, always be aware of her preference. Does she like the vintage or antique style jewelry or the modern and hip ones? Does she like to be noticed and have a high profile diamond setting on her ring or does she prefer the low key type?

To answer these questions, it is necessary to do a little sleuthing. If you are already allowed in her house, try to look for signs of her jewelry style by looking at her pictures and noting what type of jewelry she was wearing, or to spy through her jewelry box for tell-tale signs of her jewelry preferences. Again, do this only if you are already allowed in her house. Never, I repeat, never do this by breaking into her house. This will make you look like a creepy stalker. The next step in buying diamond jewelry for a girl you are courting is by knowing how much money you are willing to spend for it. If you’re down-on-your-luck and have little or no extra money to spend, then forget about buying her diamond jewelry and try to woo her using your charms. If she insists on the diamond jewelry in return for her undying love, then ditch the girl and look for somebody else.

There are a lot of girls out there that would love you for just who you are and not for how much you’re worth. But if your budget permits, go ahead and buy her diamonds. Just be sure to purchase a diamond jewelry that is within your budget. Diamonds might drive girls crazy but they are not an assurance that you will win her heart immediately and therefore more dating is still required. In buying diamonds for the girl you are courting, you must know that diamonds are graded using the four C’s which stand for Clarity, Color, Cut and Carat weight. Clarity refers to the flaws a diamond has. Color refers to the amount of tinting a diamond has. Cut refers not to the shape of the diamond but to the way the diamond was polished. Carat refers to the size and weight of the diamond. Knowing this information will help you choose a nice diamond to give your girl. Also, if the girl is with you during the purchase, she will be impressed that you appear to be knowledgeable about diamonds.
