What exactly is the GIA? GIA stands for Gemological Institute of America. The GIA exists to protect purchasers of gemstones, by providing the education, laboratory services, research, and instruments needed to accurately and objectively determine gemstone quality. Why is all this important to you? It’s important because when you buy GIA certified diamonds, you know you are getting a quality appraisal and true value of the diamond you’re interested in. I wrote a post some time ago about the 4Cs of diamonds. You can read that article here Diamond Jewelry. The 4Cs were invented by the GIA. Basically the GIA is in place to protect you, the purchasers of fine gemstones.

Why did I bring this up? Because I wanted to tell you about a website called I Do Now I Don’t. It’s is a website that specializes in selling used diamond and gemstone jewelry. This is not cheesy jewelry. They list and sell GIA certified diamonds and gemstones. Every piece of jewelry, whether for sale directly by I Do Now I Don’t, or listed for sale by owner has been certified by their resident gemologist and GIA graduate. You know that even though the jewelry is used, it is correctly appraised and valued.

As an example of the great deals at I Do Now I Don’t take a look at this 1.5 total carat diamond ring. It is assessed for over $6,000. The buy it now price is $2,500 with minimum bid $1,500. This is just one example of the many great deals you can get. Yes, it is a used ring, but many of the items are rarely if ever worn.

Do you know what the birthstone is for the month of April? It’s diamond. Easter is also in April. Why not combine a nice piece of GIA certified diamond or gemstone jewelry as a birthday gift and an Easter gift? I would have to say that diamonds are certainly one of the best gifts for easter.

If you happen to be in the market for a diamond gemstone ring, necklace, watch or even loose diamonds, keep I Do Now I Don’t in mind. Their GIA certified diamonds and gemstones are guaranteed to satisfy and are guaranteed to be the best gifts for easter. Don’t cheap out on a diamond engagement ring.
