BEWARE OF BOGUS DIAMOND WEBSITE LISTINGS

FROM

DROP SHIPPERS

&

" WANNA-BE "

DIAMOND DEALERS


This may seem like a small thing but it isn't.

If the website does NOT have the diamond certificate number listed then it is a bogus listing.

It is as simple as that. They are drop shippers marketing virtual diamonds with either none to very little diamond experience.

Make sure the diamond IS IN STOCK and has the certificate number with the listing and
VERIFY THE REPORT NUMBER with the laboratory if possible.

This is how you sort the genuine web site diamond vendors from the dangerous rogue traders.

~~~

In light of the GIA bribery scandal ," Certifigate " , and our strong support of Chaim Even-Zohar's revelations we refuse to stock ANY NEW GIA graded diamonds offered to us both for ethical reasons and many inaccurate diamond colour and clarity grades.

Likewise anyone dealing in GIA graded diamonds is NOT someone we wish to deal with until GIA’s Gem Trade Laboratory decides to disclose the bribers' names and comes clean in order to inadvertently avoid dealing with a GIA briber.

Diamond vendors can not be absolved of any wrong doing hiding behind a diamond grading report recognised or unrecognised.

They have both a moral and ethical duty of care to their clients

GIA is NOT an IDC diamond grading laboratory.

Their colour grading standards are simply not as strict and Diamond Imports is not prepared to jeopardise their reputation unlike other diamond vendors who sell any diamond just for the sake of closing a sale.

With the advent of the ever growing internet diamond retail market the concept of drop shipping has become prevalent.

Drop shipping has enabled websites to give the appearance of a fully stocked retail business without the costs, overheads, knowledge or experience associated with running a business.

Drop shipping has opened the door for many new dealers, markets and also scams.

A lot of these drop shippers advertise GIA graded diamonds that are not in stock and do so to add false credibility to their websites.

Hence now why GIA grading reports are now being referred as the Internet Certificate , a common report for the most ordinary diamond vendors marketing to the most mediocre clients.

The only difference is professional diamantaires do NOT trust GIA reports, carry real stock and show the greatest respect to those diamond buyers who have done their own research prior to purchasing their chosen diamond.

Diamond Imports has a duty of care to their clients and if GIA's is living off their past reputation we no longer trust GIA's integrity until the disclosure of the names of the GIA bribers.

In Australia as a precaution prior to purchasing a diamond we recommend verifying the diamond if it comes from GIA, EGL, IGI because these diamonds are being dumped and in addition exercise caution if a diamond grading report comes from a non compliant diamond grading laboratory.

BUYERS BEWARE
