Everyone loves diamonds and nobody looks bad in diamonds, do they? It is not really within the scope of this piece to recommend whether diamonds are a good investment or not, but their supposed value is enormous. Instead, I want to discuss where the best place to purchase a diamond is, since it is more importantant that you acquire your diamond from a reputable dealer with a guarantee than that you think you got a decent trade on eBay by means of purchasing somone’s grandmother’s engagement ring, which might not be genuine.

Therefore, before you begin browsing for diamonds, think about dealing with a bonded jeweller. Bonded jewellers sell bonded diamonds and there are not many bonded jewellers in the world. In deed, of the jewellers in the world, only approximately 5% of them are bonded.

Buying a bonded diamond will cost more than buying a non-bonded diamond, but when you consider what you get with the bonded alternative, you will see that it is well worth the additional expenditure.

First, bonded diamonds have a buy-back policy for the life of the diamond. No matter how long you keep the diamond, you can take it back to the bonded jeweller and sell it back to him or her, for a 100% refund.
