What benefit is there to be
able to buy at New York Wholesale Prices?
No longer only for VIP’s or those individuals with connections, The Diamond
District is the only store of its kind in all of Florida. We are providing a
way for you to purchase certified loose diamonds and diamond jewelry at 30% to
40% below retail jewelry store prices.
What is a certified diamond?
A certified diamond is a diamond that has been weighed, measured, color
and clarity graded and its cut determined at a major laboratory by individuals
trained only in diamonds. These individuals grade and certify daily as
a profession.
How do I know I’m getting what I bought?
All the diamonds we sell that are .50 carat and above are certified.
Therefore, each diamond has been graded, registered and plotted.
By comparing the diamond against the original certificate, any reputable
appraiser can verify that the diamond is the one identified by the
certificate.
What is an Appraisal?
Each diamond we sell comes with a free appraisal. This appraisal will
match the information on the certificate. The appraisal provides
you with the replacement value of the diamond. We offer an appraisal
service on diamonds that were not purchased from us as well.
Does the shape
of the diamond have any effect on the price?
Yes. Round brilliant cut diamonds are traditionally priced the highest.
Fancy cut shapes usually cost less because they produce less waste
when cutting.
Do you carry “Ideal Cut” Diamonds?
“
Ideal Cut” Diamonds are extremely rare and only account for about
5% of the diamonds in the market today. We carry these as well as many
of the other premium cut diamonds in all shapes and sizes.
Can I see the
difference from one color or clarity grade to the next?
The brilliance of a diamond is determined by the quality of its cut,
not its color or clarity. When cut properly it is very difficult
to see the difference between two color grades, F-G, G-H, etc., if
the diamonds are faced up. In clarity, from the grade of SI2 and
up, normally one can not see anything in the diamond with the naked
eye. Therefore clarity has to be determined by use of a 10X loupe.
What
is fluorescence, and how does it affect a diamond?
Fluorescence is an emission of light from within a diamond and can
occur naturally. To detect it a “black” or ultraviolet
light must be used. Yellow fluorescence and in some cases strong
blue fluorescence may make a diamond appear cloudy or milky, even
under daylight. In “lower” colors, “I” and
below, some blue fluorescence may help the diamond to appear whiter
than it technically is. Fluorescence information is always available
on the certificate.
What is the best way to care for and clean my diamond?
There are several ways to keep your diamond clean. The best and safest
is always to bring your diamond in to our store and have it professionally
cleaned free of charge. You can clean your diamond at home by using
a bowl of warm, sudsy water with a bit of mild liquid detergent.
Brush your diamond with a soft brush and rinse in warm water. Dry
your diamond with a soft lint-free cloth.
What if I want to upgrade my diamond?
If you ever decide to upgrade your diamond, we will give you the original
purchase price towards your new diamond. You will have the privilege
of trading for a diamond of equal or greater value.
What type of Payment
do you accept?
We accept Cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card,
Cashier Checks, Money Orders, Wire Transfer and Personal Checks.
We also have interest free financing available.
If I have an out of state
address do I have to pay sales tax?
If you have an out of state address you will NOT be charged sales tax
as long as we are shipping your item out of the state of Florida.
We ship packages Globally using overnight services anywhere in the
Continental U.S.
What is the cost of shipping?
The cost of out-of-state shipping (within
the United States), including handling and insurance starts at $45.
Why doesn't Southwest Florida's Diamond District put inventory
on the web site?
Our inventory changes often and we do not want
to mislead our customers; or, publish a diamond you become interested
in and when
you cal to inquire about that specific diamond you're told its "not
available" or "already sold". Every request is answered
immediately with a list of diamonds from our inventory available
to you at that moment.
Does Southwest Florida's Diamond District ever have a sale?
Unlike
fashion clothing, diamonds never go out of style. Most clothing
stores will run sales at the end of the season to get
rid of that season's fashions and make room for the new season.
Some things always go out of style, but diamonds are always in
fashion. A "sale" is just another retail gimmick to make
you think you are getting a good deal. With our New York Wholesale
Prices, Southwest Florida's Diamond District offers the lowest
prices on diamonds every day. No gimmicks! Don't be fooled by Retail
Sales - be prepared.
