Jewelry Coupons

From time to time we issue valuable jewelry coupons. In addition to posting them on partner sites on the web, they are always accessible to our customers via a link on our home page, and a link within the shopping cart. We never want our customers to miss out on a discount. There's nothing more frustrating than buying something and finding out later that you missed an opportunity to get the best deal. Afterall, a 10% discount on diamond jewelry can amount to hundreds of dollars in savings.

Here's a link to the current gemdiamond.com jewelry coupons. The pearl coupon expires today, but the diamond studs coupon is good for a few more days. There are nice diamond studs starting at $202 (before discount) in yellow gold or white gold. And shipping is always free.

Just type the coupon code into the appropriate box at checkout and the discount will be automatically calculated. Check back from time to time to see the current deals. We issue new jewelry coupons regularly, but they usually expire within two weeks of issue.

We also issue an unadvertised coupon every month for our most loyal audience- the subscribers to our newsletter. You can subscribe to the gemdiamond.com newsletter through a link on the
upper right hand side of any page on the Gem Diamond Company site.

Note: we'll honor the diamond studs coupon on a pair of certified loose diamonds selected from our diamond department as well. However, you will have to call in to place the order as the coupon will not work in the shopping cart on loose diamonds. 1-888-974-4367

Ideal Cut Diamonds

The care and craftsmanship of a diamond's cut determines to a large extent the fire and brilliance of the finished gem. It can be argued that cut is the most important of the 4C's. A diamond can be perfect in every other way, but if it is not well cut, it will not sparkle and dazzle.

Diamonds that are cut within a range of parameters believed to result in the best performance are referred to as "ideal cut diamonds". Through the years there has been great debate over exactly what those parameters are, but recent scientific advances in the complex study of light behavior have begun to bring the debate into focus.

Many different brand names and buzz words have emerged as a host of companies offer up competing versions of the ideal cut, along with an array of special viewers, analyzers, gizmos and gimmicks.

Within a few months the Gemological Institute of America will be stepping into the fray, having recently completed the most thorough scientific study of diamond cut ever undertaken. In January 2006 the GIA will begin assigning an overall cut grade in their reports of round brilliant diamonds. Their top grade will be "excellent" which for most people will be synonymous with "Ideal".

You can learn more about diamond cut in our education department at www.gemdiamond.com , and search our large online inventory of certified diamonds cut within a range of specifications widely accepted as ideal cut diamonds.

D Flawless Diamond - aka "Gem Diamond"

Did you know that in the diamond trade a perfect diamond is known as a "gem diamond"?

Diamonds that are completely colorless and have no inclusions under 10x magnification are designated by the GIA grade D IF. While gem dealers as a whole use the term "gem" to refer to a variety of precious stones, diamond dealers use the word specifically in reference to (and reverence of) diamonds of the ultimate quality.

The Gem Diamond Company name is derived from both variations of the term's usage. We deal in a variety of precious gemstones and diamonds, and our emphasis is always on high quality. In fact we do have a rather nice inventory of gem diamonds: D Flawless Diamonds

And after you recover from sticker shock you are welcome return to the real world! Check our recommend diamonds to see good values in different parts of the upper diamond quality spectrum.
