Things to consider
when shopping for a diamond
Not Just size,
color and clarity make a good looking diamond
1. Caret - Size of diamond (1/8 carat to 10+ carat) Usually
determined by the ring you choose!
2. Cut - Quality applies to all shapes and sizes - Poor to
Ideal (Ideal only applies to round diamonds) AGS 0, or Hearts & Arrows
style - quality of cut can vary price by 50% - Poorly cut diamonds have
little brilliance ( result in a low price) and fire (flashes of color)
and uneven facets - off center culet - large culet = large see through
center of diamond - other unwanted items include large girdles that
add weight not beauty - Poor cuts can result in small looking diamonds
for example a 1ct that has the width of a 3/4ct diamond.
3. Color of diamond (D to Z) or Fancy Champaign, Yellow, Red, Green,
Blue
4 Clarity of diamond (Flawless to I3)
5. Cut (round, Princess, oval, emerald, heart, and many more) many
rings can be modified to accept all shapes!

A Jewelry Stop Lab uses GIA master
diamonds for grading bad certificates that can leave you paying
more than you should. Are you buying a diamond or a certificate, then
why pay for a diamond that does not match it's certificate?
AJS specialize in Canadian made because of the Beauty and High Value
they have. Better quality cut = More brilliance
We have access to large inventories of 5 billion of dollars of
diamonds and color gems from over 500 diamond sources. We have established
accounts at major USA metal manufactures.
Jeff our jeweler is a GIA graduate gemologist, and
is bench certified. He knows how to set each special gem in the setting
of your choice. We will deliver a quality product or your money
back (see our shipping warranty page for

gemological laboratory of your choice
but we recommend GIA, AGS, Canadian or by Jeff our GIA gemologist using
GIA lab master sets and standards.
Conflict Diamonds - We do not sell conflict diamonds.
AJS is a promoter of the Kimberly Process. Many of our suppliers are
direct site holders with De Beers and purchase diamond rough directly
from the De Beers company.
Laser drilled and glass filled - We do not sell this
type of Diamond! Enhanced diamonds can not be fully certified. Once
a diamonds is enhanced the value is greatly reduced.
