Tips in Investing in High-Priced Diamond Collection

钻石购买指南

1) Choose a jeweler as you would choose a doctor. 选择信誉良好的珠宝商

A measure of a jeweler's knowledge is whether he is professionally trained. An educated jeweler will not only explain the 4Cs of diamond quality to you, but will be able to demonstrate the differences between apparently similar stones.

查看珠宝商的资历相当重要。接受过专业培训的珠宝商不仅能够向你解释钻石的4C标准，还能讲解外观相似的宝石之间的差异。

2) Understand the 4Cs of Diamond Quality 了解钻石的4C标准

This basic knowledge will not only unlock the mystery of a diamond's quality, but it will help you understand a diamond's value and price.

钻石的4C标准能帮助您认清钻石的真实品质，它不仅拨开了钻石的神秘面纱，还能帮助顾客了解钻石的价格和真正价值。

Diamond Color In most diamonds, the term actually refers to the absence of color. The less color in the stone, the more desirable and valuable it is. Some of these differences are not visible to the naked eye, but directly impact the overall quality and price of the stone.

对于大多数钻石来说，颜色鉴定即指无色鉴定。钻石颜色越淡，价值和价格越高。尽管许多颜色之间的差别非常细微，肉眼不易察觉，但其可直接导致钻石质量和价格上的差别。

Diamond Clarity It measures the amount, size and placement of internal 'inclusions,' and external 'blemishes.' Grades run from 'Flawless,' with virtually no imperfections, to 'Included,' which contain a significant number of imperfections.

净度可衡量内含物和表面特征的数量、大小和位置。净度等级由高到低，从“无瑕级”----即几乎无任何缺陷的钻石，到“内含级”----即有较大缺陷的钻石。

Diamond Cut It does not refer to a diamond's shape, but to the proportion and arrangement of its facets and the quality of workmanship. The amount of brilliance, sparkle and fire in a diamond is determined by cut. Grades range from 'Excellent' to 'Poor.'

切工不仅仅是指钻石的形状，还包括钻石刻面的比例、排列以及工艺。钻石的明亮度、火彩和闪光是由切工决定的。切工的等级由“极优”到“不良”进行排序。

Diamond Carat It refers to a diamond's weight. Generally speaking, the higher the carat weight, the more expensive the stone. Two diamonds of equal carat weight, however, can have very different quality and price when the other three Cs are considered.

克拉是指钻石的重量。通常，钻石越重，价格越高。不过当两颗钻石的重量相同时，其价值和价格也可能不同，因为钻石的价值还取决于其它三个C标准。

3) Insist On a Diamond Grading Report. 参考钻石分级报告

A diamond grading report from an unbiased, scientific source such as GIA is more than important information, it's proof of what you are purchasing. The differences in diamonds can be so subtle, even a trained jeweler can't recognize them without lab verification.

钻石分级报告应出自于公正、科学的机构比如美国宝石学院（GIA），它可为你购买钻石提供参考依据。钻石的差异很微妙, 没有认证许可，即使是专业的珠宝商也不能分辨一二。

4) Protect the Purchase 保障消费权益

Have your diamond appraised and insured. Appraisers and insurers rely on diamond grading reports to accurately evaluate the value of gems. As an additional measure, consider having your diamond laser-inscribed with its GIA report number, to provide verification if it is ever lost or stolen.

钻石应得到认证机构的鉴定并加保险证明。评估机构和保险公司依据钻石分级报告准确评估宝石价值。另外，钻石上有激光刻印的GIA证书编号，一旦丢失或失窃，可为其提供凭证。
