A Diamond Buying Guide.... from an insider!
This is the only diamond buying guide you will ever need....
you can learn how easy it can be to find your perfect diamond!
Diamond buying made easier!.... easier?.... easier than what?
Some of you might think that getting a root canal or filling out your income tax forms might be easier than diamond buying!.... but there has never been a better or easier time for buying
diamonds!
My name is Bud Boland, I've been a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) for nearly 30 years now and I've found a few different ways to simplify the process of buying some diamond bling! I've seen a
lot of changes since getting into the jewelry business in the early 70s. I know all of this makes me sound like I'm an "old timer", but that OK, because I am.... and that's really good for
you!
Diamonds are forever...
but the business of buying diamonds keeps on changing!
Many things about the jewelry business are very different today, such as buying loose diamonds and diamond jewelry online, so this means you can get great prices from many different sources, which is a
very good thing! Of course, the "element of trust" of dealing with an online diamond retailer presents a problem with some people. You might be dealing with someone who is in the next city, or on the other side of the country, or even on the other side of the world.
Recently, I held the position as the Head Gemologist for an online jewelry retailer. I regularly talked with customers who were calling in from all corners of the world and they mainly wanted to be
reassured that I was a person who could answer their questions about buying diamonds. Buying loose diamonds and diamond jewelry on the Internet sight unseen was a new experience for almost all of
them! Once a sense of trust was established, the transition could then proceed smoothly via email.
This most recent experience, along with my many years of teaching people about how to buy a diamond, has brought about the development of this diamond buying guide.... I knew that I must be a way to give smart consumers the essential tools needed to know if they were getting the best possible value when they are buying diamonds. Today with almost everyone having access to the Internet, it became clear that the
time was right to make this online diamond buying guide a reality!
"I don't know... it all sounds kind of complicated!"
Having a basic understanding of this technical stuff about diamond buying will help you with that "trust thing". The information you will need to be familiar with are just a few facts- diamond
clarity, diamond color, diamond cut, carat weight, diamond shapes, diamond pricing, lab created diamonds..... still with me?, good!
 We all know that a diamond is forever but it shouldn't take forever to buy one! You should be able to get this whole diamond buying process done in just a few weeks! You
don't need to memorize a grading chart in order to understand this "stuff", it's really not that complicated.
It doesn't matter who you are, young or old, male or female, if you are buying diamonds for yourself or someone else, or if you are buying a big diamond or a smaller diamond, looking for a diamond
from Blue Nile, Tiffany, or Gomer's Jewelry Shoppe down at the corner of Main and Elm.
In this diamond buying guide I will teach you about some of the basics of diamond buying and with some research on your part, you'll then be able to shop with confidence when you go into some local diamond jewelry stores or look to buy diamonds online.
"OK, I guess I'll give it a shot!"
Start by clicking on the links in the navigation bar to your left. I've laid them out to be the most logical order of things. Well, logical in my mind at least!
At the top of the list, I want to start off by telling you a bit about who I am and why you might want to listen or believe anything that I have to say about buying diamonds.
Unfortunately, today there are way too
many websites and so-called "diamond buying guides" on the Internet that dispense outdated information and misinformation about diamond buying. Many people take this "information" as fact just because it is on the Internet and they overlook the validity of the source.
Next, there is a link in case you want to contact me, and then following that are the links to the diamond information.
At any point along the way, please don't hesitate to ask a question by clicking on the "contact me" or "second opinion" links.
Don't be put off by the form you need to fill out the first
time you need to contact me. It's something that needs to be done only once so I don't end up getting spammed! After we have been in touch for the first time, we'll be able to directly email back
and forth to each other.
