It’s possible to buy anything imaginable online now, from our weekly shopping to shoes, clothes and of course jewellery. There is no real risk involved with the purchase of many goods online but, here at Jewellery Latest we have to issue a caution.

Please think twice before buying diamonds online. A DIAMOND MUST BE SEEN!

SparkleThe beauty of a diamond is subjective and can be a difficult thing to explain fully. The grade of a diamond on a certificate only confirms the characteristics of the stone but not its beauty fire and scintillation. To determine this a diamond has to be seen. A diamond should not be treated like a commodity and be purchased on the basis of technical information on a piece of paper. Purchasing a diamond should be considered, researched and aided with the help of an expert.

Robert Adair Jewellers in Ballymena, Northern Ireland can advise you on the key factors when buying a diamond. The most important being the diamonds cut and colour.

In our next post we will go into a little more detail for you regarding the cut and colour and the other two “Cs” clarity and carat. A quick glance at the image below gives you an idea of just how varied diamond quality can be from the cut alone.

Remember to think twice before buying diamonds online. A diamond must be seen.

The roots of Reverie Diamond begin at the turn of the twentieth century, when my great grandfather travelled through Europe as a fine diamond dealer. While his colleagues were developing what we know today as the eight main single diamond cuts, my great grandfather dreamt of offering beautiful diamond rings that did not carry enormous price tags. From these principles came the vision to create a setting that would enable an elegant array of smaller diamonds to sparkle as one large diamond.

Continuing his legacy and following that same philosophy, I have developed the brand you see today.

Reverie Diamond was born.

These beautiful rings are all from Reverie Diamond. Reverie Diamond is available in 9kt and 18kt gold. Platinum is available on special order.A Reverie Diamond is a perfect purchase if you want a big look solitaire for a fraction of the price of a large diamond.

In Northern Ireland, Diamonds are one of the most precious gifts that can be given. But how can you be sure that the diamond you are buying is the best that you can get for your money. There are lots of different factors which will make your decision.

1/ Budget – Find a jeweller who offers a wide range of diamonds to chose from. Work out how much you can afford and push them to show you the best quality diamond for that price.

2/ Shape – the shape of a diamond is different from the cut. The cut is a technical term which refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry and polish. A good jeweller will help you with the cut of your diamond, but you get to pick the shape which you prefer.

This diagram from wikipedia.org shows a collection of shapes which you can pick from.
