Diamonds are the hardest natural stone known to man, a wonderful and traditional choice to celebrate your engagement, and a perfect representation of your love. Once you have picked out a breathtaking engagement ring setting that fits your loved one's personality and style, the next step is to pick a beautiful diamond or gemstone to be the focal point of that engagement ring setting. Diamonds come in nearly as many shapes or cuts, colors, clarities, and carat weights as there are engagement ring styles. Because of this variety, we have created a Diamond Information Page in order to help our clients understand the characteristics of this extraordinary gemstone.
Once you have a basic understanding of the diamond that is perfect for you, we utilize our huge network of domestic and international diamond cutters and wholesalers to acquire several examples for you to take a look at. When you visit our jewelry store we place each diamond, acquired just for you, in a ring or on a diamond tray. We then encourage you to compare each of the stones side by side in order to see the differences as we thoroughly explain the characteristics of each diamond.
Many companies have difficulties finding authentic Gemological Institute of America, or GIA, certified diamonds at as low of a price as Diamonds Above, but because of our connections, reputation, transparency, and clear explanation you can feel confident when you shop with us. We almost always beat big box jewelry stores and local Austin jewelry stores with great prices, quality, and service that our customers expect and our competitors can't touch.
Unlike Diamonds Above, your personal jeweler, many big box jewelry stores use a misleading marketing technique by offering their clients uncertified or non-GIA certified diamonds at prices that are similar to those of GIA certified diamonds. Often times these diamonds are certified by fly-by-night companies that lack the prestige of GIA, and as a result, are in reality a much less quality stone that appears to have the same credentials. GIA certified diamonds are graded by highly skilled Graduate Gemologists with years of experience using set standards that are uniformly followed, rechecked, and confirmed to be conflict free. At Diamonds Above, we believe that GIA certified diamonds are of the highest quality and make a ring truly special, beautiful and valuable.
If you are interested in excellent quality GIA certified diamonds, a beautiful one-of-a-kind engagement ring, and supporting a local small business that cares about you, then Diamonds Above in Austin is the jewelry store for you! We specialize in finding the perfect engagement ring, diamond, Rolex watch or piece of fine jewelry for you at the lowest prices possible. We maximize the value you can get from your budget, educate you about our products, and offer customer service that surpasses all of your expectations in a comfortable pressure free environment.
If you have any questions or are interested in one of our beautiful engagement rings feel free to shop our online jewelry store or call us at (512) 206-4156 and schedule an exclusive one-on-one appointment with a personal jeweler and see our engagement rings, watches, and diamond jewelry in person at our Austin jewelry store.
