Mumbai is one of the most important diamond centres in the world, and many travellers wonder whether they can buy an engagement ring diamond there with confidence. In this video, a client visiting from Japan shares their experience of doing exactly that with Allyours Jewels.
Tips if you are buying a diamond while travelling
- Insist on a recognised grading report. Make sure the certificate number is laser-inscribed on the diamond's girdle and matches the report.
- See the stone, not just the paper. Ask to view it under a loupe and in different lighting.
- Plan your timeline. A custom setting takes time. Share your travel dates up front so your piece is ready before you fly home, or arrange secure shipping.
- Know your home country's customs rules for bringing jewelry back, and keep your invoice and certificate with you.
- Work with someone who explains, not pressures. A good expert will show you why one stone is better than another.
