While that may seem like quite an endorsement for someone to buy a
diamond ring from Antwerp, it is also known for a fair share of purchase scams. In other words, there are tourist-trap stores that misinform customers about something or the other related to
diamonds.
Such things happen to mainly those who go in search of
diamond rings Antwerp at a foreign land. It is also worth noting that while these things are not necessarily only concerned with Antwerp, it will not be a bad idea being more cautious while buying a
gemstone ring.
Treated Diamond
People who have been to the area say that they were either not specifically told about the
color treatment done to a
diamond, or jewelers downplayed the treated
stone’s downsides. To be precise,
color-treated
diamonds take a real hit when it comes to their resale value.
Exorbitantly Higher Prices
Some customers say that they were sold an Antwerp-institute certified
diamond set in a
white gold band, with a certain
clarity grade and
color grade. However, the actual grades were lower when they tested it back home, and hence, the product was overpriced.
