(Newswire.net — August 6, 2020) — The loose diamonds  industry is one of the most recent to migrate from brick and mortar to cyber setups. Seeing the shift, one might wonder, does it need to be this way? I mean this industry survived hundreds of years of brick and mortar. Why does it need to join the Web band wagon suddenly? 

The transition to Web is making people think if it isn’t a thing of small jewelers looking to survive in a tempestuous business eco-system. Then there is also the question of whether the Internet really makes sourcing and buying of loose diamonds any easier or cheaper. Some say the whole thing is a fool’s errand. Let’s find out. 

Below are the top 5 myths of the diamond industry and facts that bust these myths with a bang. 

#Buyers Like to Make Their Most Expensive Purchases at Land-Based Stores

This is not true, not anymore at least. If you look at the numbers you will know that in the last few years, the transactions at major jewelry stores have been done online. This goes to say that people are now making their expensive purchases online. 

It is inevitable in a time when all industries are shifting from the traditional land-based setups to online and mobile channels. Diamonds-USA.com sells over $500 million worth of diamonds on its website which amounts to over $400,000 apiece. 

#Buyers like to stick to their local jewelers of many years as opposed to trying out a new online retailer

This is purely a myth. Today an online seller is able to offer the same diamonds displayed at a local seller’s, at a much more competitive price. So, why would a buyer still prefer to buy their jewelry anywhere but online? Online, you can get quotes from a dozen sellers in real time within an hour. How many physical stores will you be able to cover in the same time? The Internet increases the scope of research making it possible for buyers to get the best deals with a small effort. 

To make the purchasing of loose diamonds experience as real as possible, sites like Diamonds-USA connects buyers to their in-house diamond experts on a live chat, who assist them in real time answering any queries buyers may have about their diamonds. Most of the online loose  diamonds have 360 degree videos today.

#Buying loose diamonds online is way too risky in comparison to buying at a local supplier

That was the popular notion a couple decades back, but not anymore. The only time buying diamonds online is risky is when your seller is unverified or has alarmingly negative feedback. Sites like Diamonds-USA have a protected system that enables buyers to make transactions doubtlessly.

The best thing about sites like Diamonds-USA is that whether you decide to buy from them or not, you can always visit their site and check out their collection of loose diamonds to find out if your local jeweler is offering you a competitive price or not.

#Buying Something without Having Seen It Up Close Is a Risk

The experience of buying loose diamonds online has never been more real. Verified sellers like Diamonds-USA offers grading reports, up-close photos, 360 degree views and plots for all their diamonds. This information translates the buying experience from virtual to real as best as possible. This information also helps determine the aesthetics and specs of diamonds pretty easily. Search experience too has improved in leaps and bounds in the past few years. It is now possible to look up diamonds closest to your specific details in just a flash.

Diamonds-USA and similar companies make accurate representation of their diamonds and full disclosure of the information related to diamonds in their gallery.

Sites like Diamonds-USA create their sites keeping in mind the fear and discomfort some people have surrounding online transactions.
