A diamond is a diamond is a diamond... so why buy a certified loose diamond? For the same reason, a person goes to a CPA to have their taxes done. Diamond grading and tax preparation are both a serious and tedious business and lots of $$$ is at stake.
Let's say you personally computed the accelerated depreciation on your restaurant equipment. How accurate were you and who do you think the IRS is going to rely on more? You - a restaurant owner filing your own corporate tax return - or an experienced CPA?
The same principle applies when buying loose diamonds... let the experts handle the technical aspects.. For example is this a "D" color diamond or an "E" color? And console yourself that the additional cost to purchase a certified diamond graded by an international gem lab such as the GIA or the EGL is negligible compared to the cost of the diamond.. It's your best protection against buying a low quality diamond at an inflated price.
In the future, if you decide to sell your diamond , you will appreciate owning a certified diamond. Your diamond certificate establishes the clarity, color, cut and carat weight of your diamond. People often take a used car to their mechanic to have it checked out before spending money on a used car. And you will already have the data in your hand to show them along with the diamond for sale. A certified loose diamond is a sensible purchase and easier to sell than to potential buys.
What about Fancy Diamond Shapes?
It's even more important to choose a certified loose diamond when purchasing a pear shaped diamond, marquise, oval, emerald or heart shape stone. Each cut appeals to a different type of diamond buyer.. and since there are less buyers, it is more difficult to sell these stones. And when you consider the time and effort required to get your diamond appraised years after purchase, you will be glad to own a certified loose diamond from day one.
