It was about this time that the most feared word in the jeweler’s vocabulary began to change the industry forever. That word was Internet. Suddenly there were competitors springing up who could supply diamonds and jewelry delivered to your door, often at prices lower than could support the high overhead of the jewelry store. However, the greatest fear was that the hidden knowledge of diamonds and precious gemstones was available to any shopper who wanted to spend a little time researching online.

The jeweler of the past said here is what I have and which one do you want to buy? Then came the knowledgeable shopper armed with printouts of online diamond advice. Instead of simply asking for a one-carat diamond, the shopper now has a detailed list of requirements that all but guarantees that nothing in the store will meet their requirements, regardless of the price.

It is common for a diamond shopper today to say, “Here is what I want and I expect the lowest price in the country.” Then they present their list of requirements for their round diamond: 1) Carat weight exactly 1.27 because our first date was January 27th 2) At least G color 3) VS2 clarity but I do not want to be able to see anything under the microscope 4) Must have a GIA grading report dated in 2006 with Excellent cut grade 5) No fluorescence 6) At least Very Good for polish and symmetry 7) Girdle has to be Medium (nothing more or less will do) and faceted 8) Laser inscribed with the GIA number 9) Must be able to take to an independent appraiser who agrees with all grading 10) I need it in two days

Their parting remark is that they are shopping these same requirements with twenty other retailers and are going to buy from the one with the lowest price.

This is the jeweler’s nightmare because this is not how their business works. Their jewelry store caters to the impulse buyer who will come in, see something beautiful and buy with only a few encouraging words from the sales clerk. Spending hours of work to find the specific diamond the shopper wants and then paying the shipping and insurance to get it shipped next day is just more work than they want to do for a sale. Instead, they complain and wish for the return of the good old days, when Ma Bell controlled the telephones, gas was 59 cents a gallon and the secrets of the diamond industry were safely behind the jewelry counter.

Fortunately, for diamond and gemstone shoppers there are a new breed of diamond retailers available who not only encourage diamond education; they enjoy working with shoppers who know exactly what they want. These diamond brokers have access to the diamonds on the wholesale market and know how to find diamonds that meet the shopper’s requirement. Best of all, the diamond brokers have much lower overhead than a jewelry store so can find the exceptional diamonds at very low prices.

The competitive marketplace always seems to produce sources for services and goods that consumers demand. The online diamond broker is well suited to serve today’s well-knowledgeable and demanding diamond shopper.

-A family-owned company that has been handcrafting diamonds for four generations, Leo Schachter supplies the Leo Diamonds. According to Jared Jewelers' designers, the significance behind Journey Diamonds is the strength of love. They say that like wine, love grows stronger and deeper as time passes by. This collection is distinguished by the creative arrangement of multiple diamonds in a setting. On the other hand, The Peerless Diamond is the collection of diamonds with the most précise cut. A diamond's cut is one crucial factor in assessing the quality and value of a certain diamond. Although cut is often misconstrued as shape, it is not. Shape only concerns the outside boundaries of a diamond while cut refers to how light goes through the diamond and how the diamond facets is able to reflect it to produce an attractive brilliance.

-A diamond's cut is just one factor in evaluating a diamond's worth. There are three other categories in choosing diamonds. These categories describe the shape, features and quality of the diamond. They are known as the Four Cs which comprised -- cut, color, clarity and carat. It is important to understand the differences between these categories because generally diamonds can look similarly the same. But based upon these characteristics, you'll be able to know the real value of diamonds.

-The first C would be Cut and has already been mentioned above. Color is the next. Although diamonds display beautiful and extraordinary colors, diamonds are usually rated on a scale of being colorless to yellow. Colorless diamonds are the most expensive followed by yellow diamonds. So, how can you tell a diamond's color? This is very easy -- a diamond always comes with a letter in accordance to the color scale. Colorless diamonds would bear the letter D, E, and F. Letters G, Hi, I, and J mean that the diamond is near colorless. Faint yellow diamonds will have K, L, and M letters insignias, the letters N, O, P, Q, R is given to very light yellow diamonds and light yellow diamonds are marked with S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. The next important C is Clarity. Clarity refers to how little or how much inclusions the diamond has. Inclusions are inherent in diamonds. They are considered as diamonds' birthmarks. Flawless diamonds are considered better. Last but not the least would be Carat. It is the weight of the diamond. The heavier the diamond is, the higher the carat will be.
-Gallery of Silver and Gold. Jared's collection of gold jewelries varies from pendants, earrings, necklaces, and other accessories. Two-tone ensembles are also included in this collection. Silver collections are made from sterling silver. Gold, silver and diamonds are also used in Jared's watch collections.
