WHAT ARE COLORS ENHANCED DIAMONDS?
Color enhanced diamonds are natural diamonds that have undergone a coloring technique/procedure based on high energy particle technology.

IS THE COLOR PERMANENT?
These diamonds are called color-enhanced diamonds and are completely safe to wear and the colors produced are permanent except for color treated PINK diamonds. Please see care guide for enhanced diamonds. Color enhanced diamonds can be treated as any other diamond except when there are processes involving extreme heat (572° F). When a ring is given for resizing, for example, the client should inform the jeweler that the diamond is color enhanced so that the proper precautions can be taken.
WHY COLOR A DIAMOND?
Natural color diamonds are so beautiful but yet so rare and therefore so expensive. With today's technology it is possible to take a colorless diamonds and permanently add colors to them.
CAN I GET MY COLOR ENHANCED DIAMOND CERTIFIED?
Yes the Gemological laboratories are now issuing diamond certifications for color enhanced diamonds.
WHAT ARE CLARITY ENHANCED DIAMONDS?
Clarity Enhanced diamonds are real natural diamonds. The principle of Clarity Enhancement is to make natural diamond imperfections invisible. Almost every diamond has minute imperfections and fissures. When light rays travel through a diamond the fissure reflects the light in such a way that it becomes visible. It is these fissures that are made invisible through enhancement. After the enhancement process the light rays are able to travel through the fissure instead of reflecting off of it, giving you a visually more perfect diamond.
clarity enhanced diamonds can be reversed in an extreme heat condition, in case such as this you may return the item to GemStoneKing and we will retreat or replace it with a new same item purchased.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF ALL OUR DIAMONDS?
All our rough diamonds have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflicts and in compliance with United Nations resolutions. We hereby guarantee that these diamonds are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantees provided by the supplier of these diamonds.
ARE THE ITEMS YOU ARE SELLING BRAND NEW?
We only sell brand new items. We do not sell used jewelry.
DO YOU SELL REAL JEWELRY?
All our jewelry is real and genuine. We do not sell fake or lab created gemstones/diamonds.
I AM SKEPTICAL OF BUYING JEWELRY ON THE INTERNET. WHAT ASSURANCES CAN YOU GIVE ME?
The best advice we can give you is to check our background record on selling over the internet in different web platforms such as eBay, Channel Merchant.
You can check our great feedback score record by clicking here.
WHY ARE YOUR PRICES SO LOW IN COMPARISON TO RETAIL STORES?
We are a jewelry wholesale company, and the prices we offer are the price that we would normally sell to other wholesalers and jewelry stores.
A typical jewelry distribution channel involves 4 to 5 middlemen representing 300 to 400% in added cost. Putting our products on eBay allows us to interact directly with the consumer at tremendous savings.

WHERE SHOULD I KEEP MY DIAMOND JEWELRY?
We recommend that all diamond jewelry be stored in soft cloth pouches when not being worn.
HOW SHOULD I TAKE CARE OF MY DIAMOND JEWELRY?
Exposure during ordinary wear to perspiration and household chemicals, like chlorine and hairspray, can cause buildup that dulls the surface of the diamond. We recommend periodic cleaning to keep the diamond sparkling and refractive.
