In Blasco Jeweller at Murciawe offer you certified diamonds by one of the most prestigious laboratories in the world, the GIAwith high quality and detail.
It is very important when considering the purchase of a diamondwhen comparing prices, not only in the colour and puritybut in: Quality of the cut, polish, symmetry, fluorescence and girdle. There are diamonds that can have these characteristics as medium or low (good,...), with strong fluorescence (strong) and even thick girdles (think). These characteristics, which are not usually paid attention to, are important because they have a great influence on the price of the diamond and on the optimisation of the dispersion of the gem, not having the same result of brilliance and splendour... All our diamonds comply with high level grades in these parameters and in some cases reaching the maximum, such as the triple excellent.
Sometimes people make the mistake of looking at the carat weight and looking only at the colour and purity and comparing. This is a serious mistake, as there are stones with good colour or acceptable purity that because of other parameters make the diamond not a good buy. And often on the internet there are diamonds at an interesting price but in many cases they have a good colour grade but nevertheless have very low purities or very poor cuts, and when a customer reads the parameters he only looks at the colour and weight and does not know how to properly interpret all the data.
And how to identify synthetic diamonds?
It is very important nowadays, when looking for diamonds on the internet, to be very careful and meticulous in reading and looking at all the details. In recent years, the following are being introduced on the market synthetic diamonds called Lab-Grown. They are chemically, physically and optically the same as natural diamonds, but instead of being mined and created in the earth's interior by natural processes, they have been created in state-of-the-art, man-made machines. After many years of trying this process, it has been possible to create them at a lower price than natural ones. These machines reproduce natural growth in a similar way, at high temperatures and pressure. In short, it is important to look at the certificate or document of purchase which specifies that natural or synthetic is neither the same nor of course worth the same.
What does Enhaced Clarity Diamonds mean?
When looking for diamonds on the internet, we must also be aware of the so called Clarity Enhanced Diamonds. It is true that they are natural, but many of you reading the certificate will not notice or will not be able to know what Enhaced Clarity means, which translates as "Improved Purity". The word enhanced does not sound bad, but it is not clarifying. What they do with some diamonds with inclusions is to make the natural imperfections of the natural diamond invisible. They laser access the inclusion leaving a cavity in its path, clean and remove that inclusion and then that cavity and crack where the plume, inclusion or imperfection was lodged is coated with a transparent crystalline-like material, whose optical and refractive characteristics closely resemble those of a natural diamond, thus hiding the fracture to the naked eye. In conclusion, we have entered the diamond and distorted its original purity, in addition to filling those spaces created until reaching the inclusions, therefore, that diamond is cheaper, but it will also have less value in the market as it is a modified stone. We must be careful with this, it is perfectly legal, but we must always know what we are buying, as everything has a price and there is a healthy competition in the market, but there are never miracles.
Our diamonds and their characteristics. Blasco Joyero (Murcia)
All our diamonds are checked and quality controlled to ensure they are natural, Kimberley Process Certified, and those of 0.30 carats and above are mostly accompanied by a GIA diamond certificate.
Diamond: Natural.
We guarantee that all our diamonds are NATURAL. All batches are tested for contamination by synthetic imitations from LAB GROWN or HPH. At the moment, many laboratory diamonds are being created and are being sold through internet channels at a much lower price than natural diamonds. Therefore, it is important to be sure whether they are natural or created in a laboratory using large machines in just a few days.
Origin: Kimberley Process Certification.
We guarantee that our diamonds come from legitimate sources not involved in economic or military conflicts and in accordance with the United Nations Resolutions, the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and the International Assurance Scheme.
Quality and GuaranteeGIA Certificates.
Established in 1931, GIA is a non-profit organisation that promotes a deeper understanding of gemstones in the trade and public through education, research, laboratory services and instrument development.
GIA standardised the evaluation of diamonds by creating the 4C's of diamond quality (Colour, Cut, Clarity, Carat Weight) and the GIA International Diamond Grading System™, which is recognised worldwide as the standard for diamond quality. The Institute is dedicated to ensuring public confidence in gems and jewellery by maintaining the highest standards of integrity, academic, scientific and professional standards.
Conclusion on buying diamonds on the Internet.
As a conclusion about buying diamonds on the internet, and I would say about buying diamonds in general, is that diamonds, whether mounted in a jewel or unmounted, should be bought in a quality and professional establishment. Being advised in this matter can be very useful and advantageous to avoid surprises in the future. We live in a globalised world in which there is more information than ever, but this information is often not orderly or concise, where the advice of a professional becomes more useful and necessary every day.
