The right way to set a diamond
Using the right tools makes all the difference! And the most important tool you have is patience.
Setting a stone, Part 1
There are many ways to set a diamond, even in a simple solitaire tiffany setting. But there are definitely wrong ways to do it. See Terry explain!!
Buying a diamond online?
Think twice.
The internet is, well, the internet. It’s a vast unregulated marketplace with good and bad merchants selling good and bad diamonds. If you don’t understand how to tell the difference—or if you don’t consult an expert who does—you can make a terrible (and expensive) decision.
Most online stores simply list the inventory that their wholesalers are holding. These are posted to their site in a giant electronic download. The store does not edit or quality control the stones—they usually don’t ever see them or take possession of them. So what sort of diamonds are in the wholesale inventory? Tons, both good and bad. It’s also possible you might see the same diamond listed on competing sites.
Sure, you might get lucky and get a quality diamond at a discount online, but why gamble? Quinn’s expert knowledge, personalized service and solid reputation (check out our reviews) in addition to our Bridal package that keeps on giving, is, in our opinion, a slam dunk. Would you rather tell your fiancé you selected her ring from Quinn’s Goldsmith or at a discount online?
