How to Order a Diamond Ring Online from Dubai?

Dubai is an ideal place to shop for gold or diamond jewelry. It is among the most visited cities in the world. The number of tourists coupled with the duty-free imports has led to a thriving jewelry industry. It is known to be the third-largest diamond trading center across the globe. The jewelry shops are reliable and the quality and integrity of the products are not compromised. Plus, you will find it hard to find so much variety of designs or styles under one roof in any other diamond market in the world.

Locals and tourists fawn over the city’s jewelry stores. 

But you don’t always have to fly to Dubai to get your hands on the diamond jewelry it has to offer. You can easily order a diamond ring online and get it delivered to your doorstep. The best part is, buying an engagement ring online can be significantly cheaper than buying from a physical store.  

However, you need to take care of certain caveats while buying diamond jewelry online. It’s a once in a lifetime purchase so you need to do your due diligence.

Exercise Caution

You need to be a lot more cautious when buying something online. Do not fall for an appealing or inciting offer that sounds too good to be true. Think practically. Always deal with a reputable jeweler with a proper online presence and verified channels or business pages (for example a GMB listing with lots of positive reviews). 

Browsing through the website can also give you an idea. A trusted diamond jewelry store will have high quality, professional images of the products with proper descriptions and details. Go through the About Us and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and read about their business and process. Also check the return policy, shipment partners, and other terms and conditions.

Be Mindful of the Rates

You shouldn’t expect to find discounts or deals when it comes to gold or diamond jewelry. However, there can be a difference in the prices because different jewelers or designers will charge differently for their services like diamond cutting and polishing. You might also find a more affordable option by going through different shapes and sizes of diamonds. Spend some time going through different options comparing prices.

Insured Shipment

We reached out to Fergus James, an online store that sells diamond rings from Dubai. They have quite an extensive shipping and collection process for their online customers. Here’s what they suggest for customers looking to buy diamond jewelry online. 

• Make sure that the shipping parcels are not branded so no-one can guess what’s inside.
• Always ask for a trustworthy shipping partner like DHL.
• Last but not the least, make sure that shipments are fully insured.

Verify the Certificate

Every diamond ring comes with a lab certificate, and online purchases are no different. A certificate confirms the diamond’s quality, as stated by the jeweler. However, not all certificates are equal. To ensure reliability and accuracy in the grading system, look for an AGS or GIA certified diamond.

Read the Return Policy Carefully

Return policy plays an important role when it comes to online shopping. The return policy says a lot about the quality and credibility of a business. Look at the period given for exchange or return. Check if the returns are free? Is there a full refund on the return or there is only store credit? Does the store offer a lifetime warranty, if not how long is the warranty? Reputable vendors will usually offer a lifetime warranty and they won’t create a fuss over returns. 

Be extra careful when ordering customized products because you will usually have to pay the making charges even if you choose to return the product for some reason.
