Diamond purchasing involves more than just aesthetics, it means making sure you are making a good financial decision. Many buyers particularly first-time diamond purchasers, can be susceptible to misleading marketing methods. It may involve misrepresenting the quality of the diamond, charging unsuspecting customers an inflated price, or selling treated or enhanced stones as if they are the same quality as natural diamonds. So it will protect your investment and get what you pay for.

Understanding the Value of 1.75 Carat Emerald Cut Lab Diamonds

Buyers make one of the biggest mistakes by not understanding so diamond value. A 1.75 carat Emerald cut lab diamond is an elegant option with its elongated, step-cut facets that have a hall-of-mirrors look. But shady sellers may try to overcharge or misrepresent the stone’s quality. Any diamond sold via RareCarat has been graded through a reputable gemological laboratory and comes with a certificate to prove it. Certification is always necessary, both to avoid overpaying for a diamond that is not worth its price which has been misrepresented.

When it comes to clarity, emerald cut diamonds have different requirements; while they are an elegant cut, they are also a step-cut, which allows for more visibility of inclusions. Images and lighting conditions can be manipulated, but a seller will offer you lower clarity diamonds at a premium price. When buying a 1.75 carat Emerald cut lab diamond, you have to compare high-resolution images and video preview, few certification details provided by RareCarat. Transparency in grading for diamonds such as these ensures that you are getting an authentic and high-quality product without breaking the bank.

Ensuring Proper Diamond Certification

And while there are good people in the diamond world, one of the best steps to avoid getting ripped off is to make sure the diamond comes with a certification from a reputable gemological lab. RareCarat sells diamonds with GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and IGI (International Gemological Institute) grades. Certified diamonds provide details on the stone’s cut, clarity, carat weight and color, so you won’t wonder about the quality. Be wary of vendors that sell diamonds without certificates or with grading reports from unrelated sources.

One prevalent fraud is sellers issuing their own “in-house” certificates that overstate the quality of a diamond. To give you an idea of what they look like, this is an example of a piece of paper you might get from a company like that that sells via such a distribution channel (meaning, not directly from an established gemological institute). Always check a diamond’s certification and verify its info against the grading body’s official website. RareCarat takes away this worry by only presenting diamonds that come with real and legitimate certifications, providing 100% transparency for buyers.

Recognizing Overly Good Deals

If a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Unfortunately, some shady sellers promote quality diamonds for sale at surprisingly low prices to lure in gullible shoppers. These agreements typically consist of fraudulently represented clarity, color or carat weight. With RareCarat, you’ll get diamonds that meet those specifications. Without seeing diamonds in similar comparison, it would be easy to be lured by unverifiable discounts.

Another fatality of scam is called a “bait and switch,” where sellers offer you a high quality diamond at a low price, but then later say the diamond is not available and offer to sell you an inferior alternative. Do your due diligence at all times and use well-established retailers such as RareCarat, which provides both price transparency and customer reviews to prove a diamond’s authenticity.

The Truth About 1.75 Carat Marquise Cut Lab Diamonds

Now folks, the next thing about diamonds you have to know is the fact that some cuts are just in a league of their own. A 1.75 carat Marquise cut lab diamond is an excellent option that increases carat weight, making it look larger. But some sellers take misleading images and descriptions of the styles to extremes and inflate the size, and sparkle. Their 18x high resolution photos, video, and 360 degree view of diamonds means that you won’t have any surprises when purchasing from RareCarat. If you’re buying online, always check a diamond’s dimensions, symmetry, and polish.

For marquise cut diamonds, the shape is important; therefore this diamond has to be in proportion to retain the brilliance. Some sellers might take shortcuts and try to sell you badly proportioned diamonds that don’t shine. A well-proportioned Marquise diamond should ideally have symmetrical curves and no or little bowtie effect, which you generally find when the center of the diamond appears dark. RareCarat also offers professional advice for choosing the finest Marquise cut diamonds, guaranteeing quality and looks.

Avoiding Treated or Enhanced Diamonds

Some sellers do, however, have diamonds that have been treated artificially to enhance their appearance without disclosing this fact. Though treated diamonds may look perfect, they rarely are affordable beauty. And these improvements are often in the form of fracture filling, laser drilling, and other high-temperature treatments. We promise no hidden enhancements to our natural and lab-grown diamonds at RareCarat. Buyers must check the certificate to see whether or not the diamond has undergone artificial treatments to alter its structure in any way that might impact the diamond’s integrity.

They initially seem to be a good deal, but the full structural integrity of the gem has been compromised. Perfumed diamonds, for instance, contain microscopic fractures filled with a glassy substance, which make them much more susceptible to damage. Laser-drilled diamonds are treated to remove inclusions but can weaken the diamond’s internal structure. Steer clear of these pitfalls by selecting RareCarat’s certified diamonds, which describe, in detail, any treatments or alterations.
