2. What is a Certified Diamond?

A certified Diamond is nothing more than a third party evaluation of a diamond and has no interest in buying or selling the gemstone. Their job as a gem lab is to impartially grade the diamond, nothing else. Just because a diamond is certified does not mean it's a fine quality diamond. Also, buyer beware - not all third party gem labs that certify grade the same. East Queen only sells diamonds certified by GIA and EGL. East Queen does not sell certified diamonds by IGI.

4. Why can't I go to a Diamond District to find a great deal?

YYou can, but think about this when you go visit. They know more about their business than you do. They all share one thing in common. They all have the lowest price. And they all stay in business.

Every diamond merchant survives on a niche in order to stay in business. The lowest price may not, and certainly in most cases, necessarily mean same quality product and craftsmanship. Contrary to bigger is better value - the value of a perceived deal is diminished due to a lack of quality driven by price point. So fierce the competition, it may influence some jewelers to resort to some unscrupulous business practices. Recently, a topic on CBS News Channel 2 Chicago investigative consumer reports exposed a jeweler's row jewelry store selling a falsely represented diamond engagement ring to an undercover customer.

Bottom line: If you're going to spend a lot of money for someone special. Should you not deserve the best value for your jewelry purchase? Save yourself parking, traffic, and the hustle. We bring the best of the best to you in the suburbs without the hassle. What do we mean by the Best? Simply by the selection and the great deals for high quality gems and unique custom designed fine jewelry.

5. I'm confused, why is there so much conflicting information about diamond buying on the Internet?

The web is a prime source for a lot of information as well as disinformation. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and the end result is a lot of confusion at your expense. Nobody becomes a qualified gemologist overnight - it takes many years of experience working with gems and jewelry and gem education thru GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the foremost authority in gemology.

6. Should I buy a diamond off the Internet?

Would you buy a house before you stepped into it? Before you make a decision: you should ask yourself these few questions: Does this company have a physical location I can actually stop in and visit? How many years has this company been in business? Does this company have a return policy? Do I know anyone else who has purchased from this company before? Are they reputable?

During the past few years, I've appraised diamonds and diamond jewelry from clients disclosing that they purchased over the net after the appraisal was finished. It was the bulk of most of my appraisals. I have experienced mixed reviews that some people received good value and others did not. I've seen diamonds that fell short from remotely verifying what was stated on the certificate report. In one particular case, it didn't take long to figure out that the stone wasn't even a real diamond!! Needless to say, I didn't charge for that appraisal.

7. I already have a local jeweler?

Congratulations - As long as you are completely satisfied with the product and personal service - continue business as usual. A recent jewelry trade marketing survey reports that independent jewelers offer the best customer value regarding better quality, personal service, and price. If your jeweler does not merchandise or provide a particular product or service, please give us a try. Otherwise, please continue to support your local independent jeweler.

A word from our vice-president, Jeremy Wang

Dear Friends,
In order to cover huge operational expenses, big businesses miss the mark on quality product. The only thing we are missing is a middleman. We are confident you won't mind.

My family started this business many years ago on the premise that people deserve better quality jewelry and they should not have to pay more for it unless they want to somewhere else. Now, I may not have an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. But I do know every business carries an operational expense just like me. The difference is I don't have to sacrifice quality and be forced to sell a cheaper and inferior product. I also don't have to do it in volume to meet the demand of my stockholders expectations. I also believe in not paying someone else to do it if I can do it myself. And I also believe that a referral from a satisfied client is more convincing than an expensive over-hyped marketing campaign. East Queen will continue to operate this way as long as it stands as an independent jeweler. This has been our commitment from our first day of inception and we will continue on well into the future. The secret to our well-being is simple. Our clients keep coming back.

Thank You,
Best Regards.

Jeremy "J" Wang.
Vice-President East Queen Fine Jewelry
