			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No one can ever deny it; a diamond piece is very exquisite to look at, and represents the feminity of every female human being. In fact, diamond plays a significant part during courtship and marriage.</p>
<p>Women love to receive a diamond engagement ring from their partners as it symbolizes everlasting love, true to the saying, &#8220;diamonds are forever&#8221;. But, in the real essence of the world, an eternal marriage is hard to sustain basing on the rise of divorce and separation cases in almost every country. To sell your diamond jewelry is one of the many options a separated couple has, as that piece of jewelry signifies the love and relationship that has been gone already.</p>
<p>Moving on is the best option for the ex-couple. However, before ever thinking of selling the piece or pieces of jewelry, best reflect if getting rid of it will make life easier in moving forward. And, if the decision is really final, then, best continue selling officially the once shared and loved diamond piece of jewelry.</p>
<p>There are many jewelry shops that are ready to buy the diamond piece anytime. But, do not expect having a higher original price as this is the marketing trend in reselling a diamond jewelry, not unless if that item is a rare find. Have the diamond be appraised by a certified professional appraisal house, specifically a member of a legitimate affiliation, to identify the current market value of the item.</p>
<p>Also, it is important to ask for a certificate of appraisal to sell diamond jewelry easily to prospective buyers with the intended price.The physical characteristics of a diamond are also considered during the appraisal, the clearer the diamond is, the higher is the value of it. And, the shape will also matter, as the round ones are more valuable than those with fancy shapes or cut.</p>
<p>Next step is to look for a buyer. Either to sell diamond jewelry to a family relative or friend or directly to a certified jewelers house is up to the owner. It is presumed that the best deal comes from selling the diamond to a close family or friend who is looking to buy diamond jewelry. It is a won situation as the buyer will acquire a piece of diamond at a lower price compared to a commercial jewelry shop, likewise for the seller, they can sell diamond jewelry directly and gain higher returns at the transaction.</p>
<p>Additionally, the owner may opt to post ads in the newspaper or over the Internet. Many websites offer assistance for first time sellers and it is a very convenient and easy way in disposing the item. There are online auction sites, choose one that has higher traffic and has sensible charges. More so, the owner will be able to compare the range of prices of diamonds available. Jewelry shops may repurchase old items as well, but, at a lower price.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first thing you need to do is find an online jewelry store that you can trust.  You will have to do a little bit of detective work in order to eliminate the less desirable companies and end up with a list of jewelers that you feel confident doing business with.</p>
<p>Find out if the website is secure. The jeweler&#8217;s website should have 128bit SSL security.  This is an absolute must when you are purchasing online, since you will most likely be using a credit card or supplying your bank account information. Somewhere along the line you will be supplying information about yourself, and the 128bit SSL security will ensure that no unauthorized party can get access to your information.</p>
<p>Also, any diamond you buy, whether it is online or from a store, should come with a diamond certificate. The Gemological Institute of America independently certifies diamonds providing information on a diamond&#8217;s characteristics such as color, clarity and size. This is your best way of knowing the quality of the diamond you are buying.<br />
Ads by Google</p>
<p>The Online Jewelry Store Should Provide Excellent Customer Service<br />
This cannot be stressed strongly enough.  Before you make a fine jewelry purchase from a website consider contacting the jeweler&#8217;s customer service department by email and by phone.  When talking to a customer service representative, ask questions and pay close attention to the responses you receive. If the rep seems irritated with your questions or is spending the entire phone call trying to rush you into buying a product, consider that a &#8220;red flag&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you contact them by email, check to see how quickly they reply.  It should take them no longer than 48 hours during the business week &#8211; within 24 hours is the ideal.  Look for professionalism and a helpful attitude in their emails.</p>
<p>The Website Should Be Informative:The jeweler&#8217;s website itself should have information on how to buy a quality diamond, the different types of precious metals, etc.  They should have a wide variety of choices, and be able to help you find what is right for you. By providing you with information the company is helping you make an educated purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, make sure that you know the basics about diamonds. You cannot scout for something that you absolutely have no idea of. You wouldn&#8217;t buy a computer without knowing the specs or brand, right? It&#8217;s the same idea with wholesale diamonds. Do your homework. Research and study everything that you need to know about diamonds and how to tell a real one from a fake one.</p>
<p>Be wary of false advertisements. There are a lot of stores, whether online or those traditional shops, that over-promise and under-deliver. Sometimes, shops misrepresent the term &#8220;wholesale&#8221;, misleading consumers. How? There are the genuine wholesalers, and there are the discounted retailers. Discounted retailers are not wholesalers, meaning what they are offering you could be flawed pieces and they&#8217;re selling them at discounted retail prices. They use the term &#8220;wholesale&#8221; only to mislead consumers and achieve sales. Although such practices are not reflective of advertising code of ethics, many stores still resort to such ill practices for the sake of sales and profit.</p>
<p>When buying wholesale diamond jewelry, inspect the mount, setting, and metal very carefully. Some jewelers do sell pieces with fake gold or silver. Beware of the red flag terms such as &#8220;realistic&#8221; or &#8220;gold plated&#8221;. These are pretty good clues that the jewelry isn&#8217;t real gold or the stone may just be cubic zirconia, and not a real diamond piece.</p>
<p>Decide whether or not you&#8217;re comfortable shopping for a valuable piece as a diamond online. Although there are legitimate wholesalers of authentic diamonds online, you still need to be wary of those that are selling either fake ones.</p>
<p>Should you decide to buy from online wholesalers, make sure they have 100% money back guarantee. Since you&#8217;re not able to personally see their pieces up close, it would be best if you could return the piece you bought when you&#8217;re not really happy with it or if you find that the quality is less than what you&#8217;ve expected.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t rely on just the certification papers alone. Stone values are not dependent on the GIA certification or grading report alone. This is why you need to educate yourself about diamonds so that you won&#8217;t get fooled or conned. </p>
<p>Be very, very careful when turning to eBay for wholesale diamonds. Choose sellers who are reputable and have received positive ratings and feed backs from previous buyers. Use eBay&#8217;s recommended escrow services to avoid shouldering the fees.</p>
