When the jewelers see that you are knowledgeable about what you want to purchase then they cannot cheat you into buying diamond rings whose value is less then what the salesperson claim. So as to prepare yourself to get the best deal one should have The Folder containing the details about the prices of various varieties of diamonds and printouts of the same from various online sites. A good diamond buying book is also a big help since it helps you in spotting fake and worthless diamonds.

If you keep the following in mind then you can be sure to get the best possible deal while buying diamond engagement and wedding rings:

1)When buying a diamond always ask for a 10x viewing loupe. You should always view diamonds through this loupe. If the jeweler makes an excuse as to why he cannot give you one then you can be sure that he is willing to sell fake diamonds. A genuine jeweler will always give you the loupe which is your right.

2)Besides this ask for a GIA or AGS certificate for the diamond. Assume the worst if they cannot produce this certificate since they definitely have something to hide.

3)Unless you want to purchase synthetic Moissanite diamonds it is best to avoid them. Often jewelers will try to pass them off as genuine. This can be detected through the 10x loupe. Synthetic Moissanite diamonds have double facets or a doubled diamond table reflection.

4)One more thing that is important to remember is that real diamonds scatter light so that it is not possible to read any type of print. Hence this is a good way to spot fake Cubic Zirconia diamond. Keep the diamond on a newspaper and try to read through it. If you can then the diamond is a fake diamond.

5)Another trick to be aware of is that jewelers often pass off yellow diamonds as white diamonds. You will not be able to spot the difference because diamonds are usually shown on black background which hides the true color of the diamond. Try to look at the diamond on white background so that any coloring in the same can be easily identified.

6)You should also avoid stores in which the price tags do not clearly mention the price of the diamond. If the tags have a code on them then you can be sure that that jeweler will cheat you if you are not aware of diamond pricings.
