It is also important to consider the following questions when comparing prices of internet purchased diamonds versus coming into our store and buying directly from Shallow Jewelers.

THE 4 C's DIAMOND BUYING GUIDE
There are four characteristics that determine the quality and value of a diamond. ~ CUT ~ COLOR ~ CLARITY ~ CARAT WEIGHT ~
CUT: There is Cut. And then there is Cut.
Many people confuse cut with the shape of a diamond. Diamonds are cut into a number of shapes, depending on the nature of the rough stone. The most popular are round, marquise, oval, pear, heart, princess and emerald cut. The choice is largely a matter of personal preference. Whatever the shape, however, a well-cut diamond is the work of a master diamond cutter. When cut to good proportions, the diamond is better able to handle light, creating more scintillation and more sparkle. It is the cut that enables a diamond to make the best use of light. When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light is reflected from one facet to another, and then dispersed through the opposite side of the pavillion. If the cut is too shallow, light escapes through the pavilion before it can be reflected.
COLOR: Good color is no Color.
Diamonds are found with a range of colors, from faint yellow or brown through to the very rare pinks, blues, greens and other colors known as "fancies". However, the best color for a diamond is no color. It is a totally colorless diamond that allows white light to pass effortlessly through it and be dispersed as rainbows of color. The GIA color grading scale runs from "D" totally colorless, to "Z" light yellow. The differences between one grade and another are very subtle. A trained gemologist can show you color differences.
CLARITY: A rarity.
To determine a diamonds clarity, it is viewed under 10-power magnification by a trained eye. Most diamonds contain very tiny, natural birthmarks know as inclusions. However, the fewer and smaller the inclusions are, the less likely it is that they will interfere with the passage of light through the diamond, and the more beautiful the diamond will be. Diamonds, more than any other gemstone, have the capability to produce the maximum amount of brilliance. A diamond that is free of both inclusions and surface blemishes is very rare, and therefore more valuable. So, the clearer the diamond, the clearer your choice.
CARAT-WEIGHT: Bigger is Bigger (and not necessarily better).
This the weight of the diamond measured in carats. One carat is divided into 100 "points", so that a diamond of 75 points weighs .75 carats. Carat-weight is the easiest of the 4 C's to determine. But, two diamonds of equal weight can have VERY unequal values, depending on their cut, color and clarity. Fine quality can be found in diamonds of all shapes and sizes.
Shallow Jewelers is the expert where diamonds are concerned; and can explain the 4 C's in more detail; as well as show you high quality diamonds of all shapes and sizes.
Diamonds. When buying with your heart, keep quality in mind.
