Secret #2 - The Dirty Secret (And Truth) About Vs & Vvs, Diamonds... Jewelers Don't Want YOU TO KNOW
From: Jollay The Jeweler
Shit made no sense...
I had just copped a vs diamond lion pendant...
But it didn't hit. AT ALL.
Well, actually it hits when I turn the flash on...
Anyway:
It made no sense how REAL Vs diamonds weren't hitting...
I thought Vs diamonds were supposed to be FIRE... That they were supposed to hit...
But then I realized...
"I don't even know what Vs really means"
I knew it standed for "very slight" inclusions...
And that inclusions meant flaws...
So isn't that supposed to mean they hit hard?
Kinda... When I did some research, I discovered:
It Doesn't Mean ANYTHING
Sounds crazy, right? You’ve been told that VVS diamonds have the most shine… Vs diamonds are next...
But the truth is your eyes actually can’t tell the difference between vvs, vs, si, or even i…
That is because the flaws are so small, they don’t actually make a difference with the shine… You can only tell the difference with a microscope, or a jewelers loupe.
What actually matters is how well it was cut. An uncut diamond does NOT shine. Doesn’t matter what the clarity is. It gets the shine from the cut.
And color is also more important… Most jewelers don’t even bring up the color. They know people think vs an vvs is what matters.
Color d for diamonds is the best color. Being that color means it is colorless. That gives it a more fire look…
The truth is that si’s and i diamonds can shine a lot harder than VVS and VS. But more than that… NONE of this matters. Color, cut, it's all BS, because...
SECRET #3: The TRUTH About Diamond Grading (No Other Jeweler Will Tell You)
I remember when I was arguing with the jeweler I got the Vs diamond lion pendant from...
I was asking him, "How come these vs diamonds don't hit?... Are they even Vs diamonds?...
He goes: "Yeah of course they are! We grade them ourselves"
When he said that... I realized that taking a jewelers word on all this...
It's like taking the weedmans word when he says "I got that fire"
The truth is, diamond grading (the 4c's) don't mean shit, without a GIA certificate.
GIA is third party thats not biased and grades peoples diamonds...
Without one of these, there is really no way to know.
Jewelers can show you an si piece, then tell you it’s vs then sell it for more money.
That's why it ONLY means something with a GIA certificate…
But guess what? That piece of paper… The GIA certifcate... it’s gonna cost you $1500 more dollars…
So basically when you get GIA graded diamond jewelry… You were finessed 2X!!
The first time was when you got some worthless diamonds. (Secret #1)
Second was when you spent $1500 dollars just to know what kinda diamonds you got!
Either way you’re getting finessed.
