Learn About Diamonds
Buying a diamond usually marks a truly special occasion. However, the process of buying a diamond can also create feelings of confusion and anxiety due to the amount of money and research required. When buying a diamond, consumer education is vital to understanding your upcoming diamond purchase. Our diamond education page has been designed to give you a basic understanding of diamonds, and the characteristics that affect their beauty and value. Boston Private Jewelers recommends that you consider the following 3 basic concepts when you begin searching for your perfect Diamond(s).
-
Determine your budget. You should know approximately how much you would like to spend and what the “absolute maximum” amount of money you can afford before you begin your diamond search.
-
Look for the best quality diamond(s) for your money: Since most of us don’t have unlimited funds to purchase a diamond, we have to make the best of what we can afford. Achieving a good balance between the four C’s (color, cut, clarity and carat weight) can be difficult, however it is essential to the diamond buying process. Ask questions about the characteristics of your potential diamond purchase and try to find a diamond that is of good quality and a carat weight that will make you and your loved one happy.
-
One of the most important steps in choosing a diamond is to complete a thorough review of the diamond’s certificate or grading report. This document will explain the characteristics of a particular diamond, like carat weight, cut, clarity and color (the four C’s). There are several organizations that evaluate the quality of diamonds; however, the most widely utilized and respected is the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Boston Private Jewelers provides a GIA diamond certificate with all on-line diamond purchases and offers laser inscription services to guarantee the quality and integrity of all diamond purchases. Please feel free contact us if you have any additional questions.
For many people, a diamond is the largest purchase of their life. With that consideration, Blue Nile recognizes the importance of understanding exactly what you are buying. This guide simplifies the four Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, as well as diamond shapes and certifications. After reading this guide, you will be better prepared to choose the diamond that is right for you.

Gold hits new record price
The price of gold hit a new all-time record overnight owing to rebounding oil prices, a weak dollar and geopolitical tensions, traders said.This morning spot gold was trading at $US878.40 an ounce and had passed the $US900 mark in long-term futures contracts in New York.
Gold is seen as a defence against inflation, which in many countries is driven by runaway crude prices.
The precious metal is also seen as a safe haven amid global unrest, which on Tuesday was being fuelled by tensions between Iran and the United States.

Time To Buy More Gold
I keep seeing headlines such as this one: IMF Chief Warns Dollar May Suffer “Abrupt Fall” telling us all that, “The dollar may still have further to fall, and the effects would not be good for the global economy”.
Then there is the daily list of stories in my newsreader from precious metal gurus like James Turk of GoldMoney.com, forecasting that, “…we can expect US$800 gold by the end of the year, and a four-digit number next year.” What does it all mean?
Equities falling, gold rises to $950, silver past $18
You would think equity investors might be getting the message now with most global stock markets entering bear territory. At the same time gold has broken out again and is heading up. Gold touched $950 an ounce last week and silver ran past $18.
Investment in Exchange Traded Gold funds exceed analyst expectations Gold Bullion Securities [GOLD] was the pioneer and began trading in Australia in March 2003. By the time LyxOR Gold Bullion Securities [GBS] listed in London during March 2004, it held only a few hundred thousand ounces in trust on behalf of investors. When StreetTRACKS GoldShares (GLD) was ready for launch mid December 2004, the amount of GBS gold holdings had risen to almost 2 million ounces worth around $900 million.
These securities offer investors a new, innovative, relatively cost efficient and secure way to access the gold market. All of the securities are backed by allocated gold held in a vault on behalf of investors. They are intended to offer investors a means of participating in the gold bullion market without the necessity of taking physical delivery of gold, and to buy and sell that interest through the trading of a security on a regulated stock exchange. The introduction of exchange-traded gold securities is intended to lower many of the barriers such as access, custody, and transaction costs, which have prevented some investors from investing in gold.
Seiden Gang’s Leo Necklace in yellow gold and diamonds is my hot pick for today. Big, bold, delicious yellow gold! Here comes the new looks for fall! Wonderous, luxurious and warm 18kt yellow gold with 2 carats of diamonds, this necklace is quite a significant piece. What a change from the smaller, dainty white gold pieces from the last few years.

The GIA Diamond clarity-scale refers to how clean, or free of imperfections a Diamond is. The GIA standard for the clarity scale consists of: FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, ???, I1, I2, I3
So what is the SI3?
The SI3 was born out of the desire of the Diamond Industry to incorporate an extra grade to identify Diamonds in the lower range of the clarity scale. Many complained that there is too wide a gap between the SI2 and the I1 grade. Why not offer an SI3 grade to bridge the gap?
After EGL - Los Angeles (European Gemological Laboratory) started to issue the SI3 grade, even the Rapaport Diamond Report, or the Rap Sheet as it's known in the trade, added SI3 to its price list. For those who are unfamiliar with the Rap sheet, it is the definitive (but no longer only) price guide for Diamonds. It is used widely by the wholesale as well as retail industry.
Some say the SI3 is a good idea, others say it is a bad idea. We feel that it can be a good idea if implemented properly.
The problem with the SI3 today is that GIA, the largest and most widely accepted Gem Laboratory in the world, does not recognize SI3 grades. Bill Boyajian, President of GIA, wrote the following letter to Jewelers’ Circular Keystone JCK Magazine in May 2002:
“We have studied the SI3 suggestion at various times over the years, and yet again recently when proposed and adopted in principle by the World Federation of Diamond Bourses. However, GIA still concludes there is no reason to change our long-standing and universally accepted diamond grading system.”
First timers are often unaware about the difference between synthetic and pure diamonds. To an experienced buyer however the difference is quite clear. But for an ordinary man looking to get the best diamond gift as an expression of his love and affection for his wife it is important to take some guidance in the matter. Of course he can't consult his wife because it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Hence he must turn elsewhere for guidance.

Other stones are wonderful, but diamonds are girls and women best friend! However, having made the decision to buy some diamond jewelry you will need to know what to look for and how to find it.
Firstly get to know the four 'C' s. 'Clarity' , 'Cut', Color; and 'Carat' (carat weight). Clarity is the extent to which a stone has any imperfections. Diamond jewelry without imperfections is more valuable than diamond jewelry with flaws. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is America's professional organisation dealing with diamond jewelry assessment and standard.
Value of diamond jewelry is also determined by a diamond's cut. Diamonds can be Prince Cut, Round Cut, Emerald Cut, Radiant Cut, Cushion Cut, Oval, Heart, Pear - to name a few! But we all know the familiar round cut solitaire engagement ring!

The Four Cs
Diamonds are judged on several factors that determine their beauty. Most diamonds never reach the consumer market because they are too flawed. Often, these diamonds are used for industrial purposes -- as an abrasive, for drill bits or for cutting diamonds and other gems. If you've ever purchased a diamond, you've heard of the "4 Cs:"
- Cut - This refers to a diamond's geometric proportions and how it has been cut. When a diamond is cut, facets are created and the diamond's finished shape is determined.
- Clarity - This is the measurement of a diamond's flaws, or inclusions that are seen in the diamond. Clarity levels begin with Flawless and move down to Very Very Slight (VVS), Very Slight (VS) and Slightly Included (SI).
- Carat - This is the weight of a diamond. One carat is equal to about 200 milligrams.
- Color - In referring to transparent diamonds, the color scale runs from D to Z, beginning with Icy White -- the color of the most expensive transparent diamonds -- and ending with a light yellow.
