1. How Can I Verify If a Diamond Is Real?

A diamond is a symbol of forever, but how can you be sure yours is the real thing? Whether you’ve inherited one, received a gift, or are considering a secondhand diamond, it’s natural to want to verify its authenticity.

At Elliott’s Jewelers, we offer a complimentary diamond verification service. Using state-of-the-art testing and drawing on years of diamond expertise, we can determine if your diamond is natural, so you have peace of mind. Talk to Elliott during your private appointment. He will assess it on the spot and give you clear, direct answers with no obligation.

2. Is a Diamond Certificate Necessary and Which Should Be Trusted?

A diamond certificate is a grading report, providing you with the full story of your diamond—its cut, color, clarity, and carat weight—so you can buy with confidence, knowing exactly what makes your diamond unique. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the most trusted and accurate, known for its strict grading standards. If you have a grading report from another lab, we recommend bringing your diamond in for a professional evaluation.

While a grading report can provide helpful information, it’s not a requirement for choosing the perfect diamond. When you work with a personal jeweler like Elliott, he will provide an honest assessment so you can fully understand what you have.

3. What Should My Budget Be for a Diamond?

There’s no set rule for how much you should spend on a diamond. Instead, think about what feels right for you. A diamond’s true value comes from the love and meaning behind it, not the price tag. Whether you’re selecting an engagement ring or customizing a special gift, your comfort and happiness matter most.

At Elliott’s Jewelers, you’ll find that your budget goes further. Plus, with our trade-up program, you can start with a beautiful diamond today and upgrade in the future—simply trade in your original diamond and pay the difference. Because your love will grow, and your diamond can too.

4. What Are the 4 Cs for Buying a Diamond and Why Do They Matter?

You’ve probably heard of the 4 Cs: Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat Weight. But what really matters is how the diamond makes you feel. The way it sparkles, the way it catches her eye, the way it takes her breath away—that’s what makes it special.

That’s why nothing compares to seeing diamonds in person. Visit Elliott’s Jewelers, where we’ll go beyond the basics, and guide you to the perfect diamond for your ring.
