Diamond Buying Guide
Buying jewellery should be exciting, not overwhelming. Here are our tips to help you make a confident, informed decision.
Buying a piece of jewellery can be an exciting and sometimes overwhelming experience. To help you make an informed decision, we've put together this diamond and jewellery buying guide with tips and information to help you navigate the process.
Four Tips Before You Buy
Consider Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are a great alternative to traditional diamonds. Created in a controlled environment using sustainable and ethical methods, they are typically less expensive than natural diamonds of the same quality — making them a great option for those on a budget.
Think About Your Lifestyle
When choosing jewellery, consider your lifestyle. If you lead an active lifestyle, you may want a more durable metal or a lower-profile setting. If you work in a professional setting, you may prefer a more conservative and classic piece.
Consider the Occasion
The occasion you're buying for can impact your choice. For an engagement ring, you may want a classic style that will stand the test of time. For a special occasion, you may prefer something more unique and bold.
Look for Certifications
When buying a diamond, look for certifications from reputable organisations such as the GIA or IGI. These certifications ensure that your diamond is of the quality and value that you are paying for.
Always Buy Certified
A certificate is your diamond's independent report card. At C6, our lab-grown diamonds are graded by the world's most trusted gemological laboratories — so you know exactly what you're paying for, every time.
Find Your Perfect Piece
By taking the time to make an informed decision, you can find the jewellery that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
