LEARN TO GRADE YOUR OWN DIAMONDS

we're gonna talk about grading diamonds particularly in diamond chains okay and I'm gonna explain exactly what that is we're gonna do that together and you're gonna realize what flaws to look for in a diamond and you're gonna look for those flaws yourself without the added help of anybody if you want to be the educated consumer if you want to be able to make a purchase and know what you're getting without being fooled or duped like so many big-time heavy hitter celebrity rappers whatever's right why is that the case what's happening well these are two identical seemingly identical diamond chains one of them is si one is vs of course the vs is gonna Sparkle more but in the heat of the moment depending on the lights you would wear you're standing over the counter and the jeweler's waving it in your face telling you whatever the hell they're telling you you're not gonna be able to tell what's happening at that point of time and you might be pressured to buy as people are like to do in this business so would you want to do is you want to be able to grab the loop and differentiate Si and V s on your own right because I have a hard time competing on the lies with these people out there in the diamond district but I do a little bit better when telling the truth okay the truth is my game the lines of their game so we're gonna learn how to grade diamonds and look for flaws in them with this particular diamond that I have here a perfect example for all of us to look at together it's 15 carats and it's a piece of right it's got everything wrong with it that you could imagine but it's gonna serve perfectly for this particular example 15 carat diamond is a rare diamond that's a big diamond okay that's a pretty big diamond right here but the purpose of a diamond is that for it to shine and flaws they you know destroy the light passing through it they turn it into spectrums we can't see so that's a complete waste of owning a diamond so flaw diamonds I'm really starting to dislike them and I I personally prefer yes especially now that we're getting the prices that we're getting and offering the VSS at at the deals that we are it's it's way more affordable than it used to be so let's take a look at this diamond right here and let's look for the flaws that are in it all right so you put the lens up to your eyes okay just like you do this loop and you start looking for flaws do you see those could those black spots those are carbon spots that's what the diamond looked like before it became a diamond some of it turned into a diamond some of it didn't there wasn't enough pressure to turn this thing into a full diamond that's why it looks the way it does okay you see those chips in there how about all of those cracks feathers inclusions this also has some treatment in it so everything that you can imagine was wrong with this time this is what you're looking for cracks carbon chips all right other types of little pinpoints so little bubbles what they look like sometimes this one doesn't really have that much of that that's the only thing it doesn't have and then treatment so that's what a flaw diamond looks like so now we're gonna do the same thing to those times to those two diamond chains and we're gonna differentiate which ones vs which ones inside two diamond chains all right we don't want to get duped at the jewelry store anymore we want to be able to take a look so I'm gonna take a look first with my eyes right this is what you would be doing if you were doing this you know hey listen can I see your loop sure okay that's what you would say to the jeweler he would presumably say sure and then you would take a look very very closely all right so I'm gonna do that first and then we're gonna do it together and look for flaws so this one is it is the tough one to do these two chains because one of them is si one of es si means slightly included that's all it means that's a tough to differentiate alright you're only looking it's not so easy as this as this thing where it's shattered and it looks like World War three is happening inside on this one it's gonna be a little bit tougher but I think we're gonna pull through anyway all right so let me get my loop and let me get camera lens okay so let's take a look and see if we could find anything in one of these got the chain at the top and the chain at the bottom let's zoom in get nice and close okay so this one at the top we're looking for flaws we're definitely not seeing anything like we saw on that other chain I mean on that other diamond that's for sure let's look at the one at the bottom uh-oh are you seeing what I'm seeing is the question seeing a couple of little cracks and I gotta stabilize my hand stabilize the camera alright so there's a nice little carbon spot right there again it's a little bit tougher to see on this particular chain but it's there right here a couple of pieces of carbon a couple of scratches a couple of little cracks so obviously this one is the si2 and this one up here is the vs2 but here's the kicker and it's see if you could differentiate that look at the beautiful quality on this one it's beautiful then we go to the one under it not so much see that big crack right in the center at the top of that diamond right there so that's it that's what you're looking for now you know whether you want to do that or not at the jewelry store is up to you but that's the way I do it alright I look at it I can do with my eyes I don't really need this I've seen it way too many times so we've got the V s and the S I write the diamond chain the most expensive type of diamond item you could buy you don't want to just rely on somebody telling you exactly what it is especially you know it's not that hard grab a loop and take a look yourself and that's what I would do that's what I recommend you doing so for the purposes of this video I'm going to tell you exactly what this chain is and a price right because you want to know so these are fifteen pointer diamonds there's 22 point 16 carats in here 15 pointer diamonds vs2 okay and this chain is about for anybody watching this video of $15,000 alright if you call the number on the screen now that's what it would be okay I also have these other vs ones right here the smaller for a smaller little chains these chains are really beautiful chains the beautiful casting beautiful pieces so let me throw you a price this is the tracks when I see price for this what is this guy going for right here we have about four pointers okay that's point zero four carats 10.25 carats and it is for of this video $4,800 for a real vs chain okay real vs again how the jeweler's gonna get you $4,800 gonna look just like this it's not gonna be vs it's gonna be outside it's gonna have that little pinpoint of carbon it's gonna have that crack in it it's not gonna be a happy time it's gonna be a sad time okay because you're gonna be thinking this and you get to be getting that and another jeweler you know the temptation to say that customer vs is almost irresistible especially when a customer is you know some coming in there and they're all the their main you know they're so excited like some of the rappers they go into some of these big-name jewels are so excited I got the brick of cash like this they're doing this and this and that years later as they become educated and understanding what they want they're like damn why isn't my change shining like this guy's chain that's been buying chains for eight years this other rapper oh he got the V s but you suck V s but this this isn't that listen whether you want to loop your own pieces or not whether you want to go get a third party appraisal or not whether you want to do business with me or not or whatever it is it's up to you okay I'm giving you a variety of different options on how to get the job done correctly so you could get it on any V s chain right you go tracks once you got calm and you purchase one of our chains we state what it is you don't even have to worry about it but it does come with this and VVS diamond chain on our site comes with one of these it's a loop it's got a 45 times magnification it's got 20 times magnification it's got a fluorescent light it's got a regular flashlight it's got everything you need and I like to give it to all of our customers who purchase this change so the prices on these if you want personal service the numbers on the screen live chat on the site check out the item numbers on track silicon I've been selling diamond chains for a very long time I know what it is I'll give you an SI one but I'll give you the SI price that's all your honor I won I don't sell those I don't sell I won because it defeats the purpose of the diamond this diamond is a diamond but it's not a diamond because it doesn't shine right you could put it in a pinkie ring and you can make a crazy-looking thinking ring with the 15 carat center stone the buyer wants about $50,000 for this or something like that I don't want I would never pay for anything for it because it doesn't do what a diamond supposed to do is to shine si does it it's a decent enough quality okay but vs does it so much better and because I made the moves that I made I have parcels of vs diamonds coming in here that I'm putting in my jewelry and my si one is a true SI one r vs as a true vs and it's hitting way harder than anything you're gonna get out there hands up and down because the way to cut corners in the diamond business is to two corners on the diamond quality and you know the jewelers try to con that ladder by getting other quantities that I move and this and that so it's never gonna work or it's gonna work at your expense so we did our homework we did our job you know what it is vs diamond chains tracks my sitcom come with a free loop flashlight and fluorescence hey I appreciate you watching that video I hope you liked it please subscribe to my channel I got a lot of information to share with you guys I'm afraid from the diamond district in New York City directly to work [Music] mmm
