What is a diamond broker? Why work with one?
Why Work with a Private Diamond Broker?
You’ve found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. You’re starting to plan how to ask the big question: “Will you marry me?” So now you need to find the perfect engagement ring – one that is as special and unique as this person is.
You probably have a lot of questions, like:
- How much will this cost?
- How can you guarantee that you’re buying the level of quality you want?
- Is there a less intimdating way to shop?
You’re educated and successful, but diamonds and precious metals are not things you are very familiar with. You want to select a ring with real value, and you are willing to put the time, research, and money into finding one. But this is a HUGE investment, and you want to be sure you aren’t throwing money away on a diamond ring with less-than-stellar ratings.
And frankly, the jewelry industry with its brightly-lit stores, assertive sales people, and mysterious code words around diamond ratings can be intimidating, or at least overwhelming.
Do any of these questions sound familiar?
- Are all the diamond certifications the same? If not, which ones should you avoid?
- What are the four Cs, and do they really matter?
- What is the most important thing (or things) to look at when selecting a diamond?
- How do you shop for such an expensive and lasting item?
- Is it possible to navigate around all the possible ways you could be taken for a ride?
- What if you make a horrible mistake with the thousands of dollars you’re about to spend?
“Buying an engagement ring was a very intimidating experience for me. I knew nothing about diamonds or settings. Before I called Fred, I visited a couple of jewelry stores, which left me confused and frustrated.
After our first meeting, I felt more comfortable that we would find the perfect engagement ring. We is the important word in that last sentence. Fred was helping me make a more educated decision instead of just selling me an engagement ring.
Fred was always open to answering my questions and worked with my schedule so I could buy the ring without my girlfriend finding out. The end result was an engagement ring that my fiancée can’t stop looking at. Fred even called after I proposed to make sure everything went well and that Holly liked the ring. Try getting that from a jewelry store!!
Scott SeeverBesides finding a genuine high-quality diamond that reflects the depth and breadth of your love, you want a good story to tell. You want your partner to see how much effort you put into this, how careful you were, your attention to detail, and the time you took to find the perfect ring. You invested in this process the same way you’ve invested in the relationship and the same way you will invest in your marriage.
Do jewelry stores offer that kind of experience? No, they can’t.
They simply don’t have the resources to spend that kind of time with each customer. They have overhead and inventory and insurance on that inventory, so if you shop traditional retail for a diamond, you will pay extra to cover those expenses.
I had a super experience working with FK Diamonds. Fred helped me picked out a great engagement ring and even coordinated the wedding bands. He helped me shop and compare quality GIA certified diamonds from several local jewelry stores. The value that I received from FK Diamonds was far better than any jewelry store could offer me.
If you want a no-pressure, easy-to-work-with partner when shopping for diamonds, Fred is your man! Simply put—he’s the best.

What if I told you that buying an engagement ring doesn’t have to be confusing, intimidating, or exorbitantly costly?
It is simple, friendly, and economical to work with an independent diamond broker.
I not only offer the highest quality diamonds at the best prices, but I take the time to guide you through every step of the process. I teach you what to look for, AND I encourage you to comparison-shop (try getting that kind of advice from a jewelry store!).
Because I am an independent broker, I have more freedom to negotiate a good price for you. My no-pressure service guarantees that you are completely satisfied, and I work with a local ring designer to make any setting you want.
I have always loved Bluenile.com as the best in quality and price. After purchasing a diamond ring from Fred, I can tell you that you are crazy not to consider him before spending big bucks on a major investment like a diamond. He got me exactly what I was looking for at about 20% less than I would have paid at Bluenile.com and 30% less than a retail store.
It is beautiful… exactly what I wanted… and I have a few grand in my pocket now that I would not have if I used anyone else. I trust him, he’s a very nice guy and easy to work with. I would encourage any of my friends to use his services.”
M.G.Save when you work with a private diamond broker.
If you want a quality certified diamond and setting for MUCH less than you will pay elsewhere (and who doesn’t), it’s really simple to get started.
