3. Ask questions! – Members of the jewelry industry as well as other consumers regularly monitor the industry. You will usually have several answers back within a few hours from a wide variety of individuals — from industry experts, to fellow consumers.

4. Learn the price of diamonds – Once you’ve narrowed down your selection and you’ve selected a jeweler, the last remaining task is to negotiate the best possible price.
