LADIES YOU WILL LOVE ME FOR THIS ARTICLE.
After having my own jewelry store in Texas for a number of years, I notice that my diamond broker was getting great diamonds way below market price, and way below dealer price.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

NICE

First, you want to see if the diamond is real. A real diamond can be determined by the brilliance of the stone. But that takes a trained eye. Here you must be very careful, their are many great looking knock offs out their.
Step 2

$125.00

The sure fire way is with a diamond tester. A diamond tester is a very cheap tool to buy. Place it on the diamond and Bam! Deal or no Deal.
Step 3

Pick One

So how do you find the diamond that's just for you. Its called the pawn shops. But wait, hear me out, not just any pawn shop will do. Finding the right pawn shop may mean the difference between a good deal, a great or an out of this world deal.
Step 4

The pawn shops that you are looking for are the ones way on the out side of town. Hear you will find that many of the pawn broker don't know the true value of diamonds they have.
Step 5

Now the diamond will be set in a old ring that has been around for years. Be cool don't look to excited, don't yell Eureka, I hit the mother load. A one kart diamond will run around $1200.00 for a solitaire VS1, H
Step 6

Now tha's a great Deal

I went 30 mile outside of town to a small pawn shop. It don't even look like it was open. I found a 1 1/2 cart solitaire diamond for $400.00. Feel Me, $400.00.
Step 7

I'm happy i read this

Many dealers go all around the country to small towns and buy diamonds. Why doesn't everyone do this? Most people don't have the time or they just don't know. But now you do. Have fun.
