Compare complete diamond specifications
Carat alone does not establish value. Review shape, measurements, cut information, color, clarity, fluorescence, certification, and the diamond's visible performance. Confirm that the report number matches the stone offered before approving a purchase.
Ask for an itemized jewelry quote
A clear quote separates the center diamond, setting, accent stones, metal, labor, sizing, customization, taxes, shipping, and any optional services. That makes offers easier to compare and reduces uncertainty after a deposit is paid.
Understand the custom approval process
For custom jewelry, confirm how inspiration becomes a CAD design, how many revisions are included, when production begins, and which payments become nonrefundable. Approve proportions, stone layout, engraving, ring size, and delivery timing in writing.
Verify policies before checkout
Review return or exchange limits, warranty coverage, repair support, financing eligibility, insured delivery, and appointment details before payment. Custom and sized merchandise commonly follows different terms from ready-to-ship jewelry.
