diamond at a wholesale price, you're paying the same price as the gem buyer, without the mark up by the retailer. If you live in or visit cities with diamond districts, you can expect to pay close to wholesale prices. Even the wholesale dealer must make a profit, but it is still far less than you would pay in a jewelry store chain.

If you buy a wholesale diamond, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, the diamond district merchants are in fierce competition with each other. It's essential for you to make sure that the stone you purchase really is a diamond. You may have a preference as to whether your diamond is " naturally mined" or is a cubic zirconium (man made) diamond. You won't be able to tell the difference with the naked eye; only a gemologist can do this. Second, make sure your wholesale diamond comes with a certificate of authenticity about its origin, carat weight, and color. Although the majority of wholesale diamond dealers are honest, there are those without scruples who will sell you a carefully cut crystal as a diamond. Make sure you receive a receipt, and that the wholesale diamond dealer guarantees his or her merchandise.

Finally, never buy a wholesale diamond from a street dealer. You ll see them mostly in big European cities; they come and go with great frequency, and you ll have nowhere to turn if you " diamond" turns out to be cleverly cut glass. Choose a merchant who has been in business for many years, with an established location.
