Bond Diamonds

The Advantages of Buying Bond Diamonds

Before you start shopping for diamonds, consider dealing with a bond jeweller. Bond jewellers sell bond diamonds, and there are very few bond jewellers in the world. In fact, out of all of the jewellers in the world, only about 5% of them are bond jewellers. Buying a bond diamond will cost more than buying a non-bond diamond. But when you look at what you get with the bond option, you will see that it is well worth the extra expense.

Buy Back Policy

First, bond diamonds have a buy back policy for the life of the diamond. No matter how long you have had the diamond, you can take it back to the bond jeweller and sell it back to him or her, for a 100% refund. If a jeweller does not offer a 100% buy back guarantee, for the life of the diamond, then you should take a closer look at the diamond to see what is wrong with it.

Breakage Policy

Bond diamonds also have a breakage policy. If the stone breaks or chips, the bond jeweller will replace it with a new one – one time. No jeweller would ever offer such a policy on any stone that was not 100% natural, so just the offer of such a policy should give you piece of mind concerning the quality of the diamond. Bonded diamonds are natural and untreated.

Value Increase

Bond diamonds increase in value, with a fixed appreciation rate that is designed to keep up with inflation. This means that a diamond that is worth a certain amount of money today will be worth more in the future, as the price of diamonds continues to rise. This generally does not apply to buy backs, however. It typically applies to trade-ins.

Alternately, by purchasing a bond diamond, you are protected against the possibility of a market crash. If a market crash occurs, the value of diamonds will drop. However, the bond jeweller guarantees to refund you the difference between what the diamond is now worth and what you paid for it before the market crash.

Seek Bond Jeweller

It may be difficult to find a bond jeweller in your area, but if you can, this is who you want to deal with, as opposed to dealing with an non-bond jeweller. Specifically tell the jeweller that you are only interested in bond diamonds. You can find a bond jeweller in your area by using various online resources, or by calling the local jewellery stores.
