Diamond Brands
Diamond Brands and What They Mean
Diamonds are one of the few products that simply cannot be ‘branded.’ Even though there are different cuts, different grades, and different
values placed on each and every diamond in existence, no diamond is any specific brand – just as gold is not a specific brand.
Diamond Brands based on ownership
Branding is actually based on who owns the diamond. For instance, if DeBeers owns the
diamond, it is a DeBeers Diamond – but it is still just a diamond. If the diamond was cut by a specific well known cutter, then it might be
branded in that way as well – but it usually isn’t. It is still branded based on who owns it at the time. So basically, when it comes down to it
– diamond brands mean absolutely nothing at all.
No extra cost for brand diamonds
The so-called brand diamonds do not cost extra. Even though a diamond is "branded" after its owner, this "branding" (which in reality doesn't
exist) should make no difference to the diamond price at all.
Do not allow a jeweler to try to talk you into paying an exorbitant price on a diamond because it is a specific brand. This is a bit of
trickery used by unscrupulous jewelers when they know that they are dealing with people who don’t know much about diamonds. Remember that
diamonds are not actually branded – unless mother nature has her own brand!
