One Carat Diamond Ring Brands and What They Mean

One Carat Diamond Rings are one of the few products that simply cannot be ‘branded.’ Even though there are different cuts, different grades, and different values placed on each and every diamond in existence, no diamond is any specific brand – just as gold is not a specific brand.

Branding is actually based on who owns the one carat diamond ring. For instance, if DeBeers owns the one carat diamond ring, it is a DeBeers one carat diamond ring – but it is still just a diamond. If the diamond was cut by a specific well known cutter, then it might be branded in that way as well – but it usually isn’t. It is still branded based on who owns it at the time. So basically, when it comes down to it – one carat diamond ring brands mean absolutely nothing at all.

Do not allow a jeweler to try to talk you into paying an exorbitant price on a one carat diamond ring because it is a specific brand. This is a bit of trickery used by unscrupulous jewelers when they know that they are dealing with people who don’t know much about diamonds. Remember that one carat diamond rings are not actually branded – unless mother nature has her own brand!

How to Spot A One Carat Fake Diamond Ring

In this world of advanced technology it is almost impossible to simply look at a one carat diamond ring and determine whether it is real or not – especially if you don’t know much about diamonds. There are some steps that you can take to avoid buying a fake one carat diamond ring, however.

First, only deal with reputable jewelers, and when you find a reputable jeweler, stick with them. Avoid buying one carat diamond rings or other jewelry from jewelers that you have never dealt with before in the past. Ask to see the certificate for the stone. If no certificate exists, walk away.

Look at the setting that the stone is in. Fake diamonds, such as zirconias, are usually set in low quality metals. Take a close look at the stone. Fake one carat diamond rings are not durable – natural diamonds, on the other hand, are the most durable stone on the planet. Look for scratches or nicks.

After purchasing a one carat diamond ring, take it to another jeweler for appraisal. In fact, take it to two or three other jewelers for an appraisal to make sure that the appraisals are all fairly close. If you find that you have purchased a fake diamond, you may be accused of making a switch when you return to the store of your purchase; therefore, it is important to have a certificate for the one carat diamond ring. No two stones are alike.

One Carat Synthetic Diamond Rings

The first synthetic diamonds were produced by General Electric in 1954. A synthetic diamond is basically a rock that has the durability, refractive index and hardness of a natural diamond – but it is made by man. A synthetic diamond should not be confused with stimulant diamonds, such as glass, cubic zirconia, or moissanite.

Although the technology for synthetic diamonds came into play in 1954, no synthetic diamonds were ever seen on the market until the 1990’s. This was due to the fact that it took many years for General Electric to produce a synthetic diamond that could compare with the quality of a natural one carat diamond ring – and when they figured out how to do it, they found that it cost more to produce a one carat synthetic diamond ring than it did to mine and cut natural diamonds.

Finally, a small company by the name of Gemesis Corporation figured out a way to produce synthetic diamond ring that were of the same quality as natural diamond rings, at a cheaper price. Today, Gemesis produces synthetic white diamonds, and colored diamond rings as well. These diamonds sell for about 1/3 of the cost of a natural diamond, but there is a shortage of them, and they are hard to find. In fact, it seems that synthetic diamonds are rarer than natural diamonds!

Bonded One Cart Diamond Rings

Before you start shopping for one carat diamond rings, consider dealing with a bonded jeweler. Bonded jewelers sell bonded one carat diamond rings, and there are very few bonded jewelers in the world. In fact, out of all of the jeweler’s in the world, only about 5% of them are bonded. Buying a bonded diamond will cost more than buying a non-bonded diamond, but when you look at what you get with the bonded option, you will see that it is well worth the extra expense.

First, bonded one carat diamond rings have a buy back policy for the life of the diamond. No matter how long you have had the one carat diamond ring, you can take it back to the bonded jeweler and sell it back to him or her, for a 100% refund. If a jeweler does not offer a 100% buy back guarantee, for the life of the diamond, then you should take a closer look at the one carat diamond ring to see what is wrong with it.

Bonded diamonds also have a breakage policy. If the stone breaks or chips, the bonded jeweler will replace it with a new one – one time. No jeweler would ever offer such a policy on any stone that was not 100% natural, so just the offer of such a policy should give you piece of mind concerning the quality of the diamond. Bonded one carat diamond rings are natural and untreated.

Bonded one carat diamond rings increase in value, with a fixed appreciation rate that is designed to keep up with inflation. This means that a diamond that is worth a certain amount of money today will be worth more in the future, as the price of diamonds continues to rise. This generally does not apply to buy backs, however. It typically applies to trade-ins.

Alternately, by purchasing a bonded one carat diamond ring, you are protected against the possibility of a market crash. If a market crash occurs, the value of diamonds will drop. However, the bonded jeweler guarantees to refund you the difference between what the one carat diamond ring is now worth and what you paid for it before the market crash.

It may be difficult to find a bonded jeweler in your area, but if you can, this is who you want to deal with, as opposed to dealing with an un-bonded jeweler. Specifically tell the jeweler that you are only interested in bonded one carat diamond rings. You can find a bonded jeweler in your area by using various online resources, or by calling the local jewelry stores.
