The advantages of buying diamond jewellery online

There are many advantages to buying diamond jewellery via the website of a recognised jeweller:

  • Buying diamonds online is 30-50% cheaper, which means jewellery is also cheaper online

  • The transactions are encrypted using technology, so it is 100% secure

  • Digital stock is larger, so you have more choice

  • The delivery is insured and arrives in beautiful gift wrapping

  • It makes diamond jewellery accessible to all

  • With our extensive online guides we help you to choose the right jewellery in the right size

Why is it cheaper to buy diamond jewellery online?

You can buy diamond jewellery online that looks the same and is set with the same high-quality diamonds as in a physical shop, and yet you pay 30% to 50% less online. How is that possible? First and foremost: efficient stock management. Always having a large stock available, organising exclusive trade fairs, investing in expensive marketing campaigns and promoting and maintaining branches at exclusive locations costs handfuls of money. You notice the effect of eliminating the operating costs of a physical shop in the price tag for online jewellery. An additional pricing element is the long journey the diamonds take to get to the jewellers.

Why can't physical jewellers compete with online diamond jewellers?

Jewellery and diamonds sold online are therefore of the same quality as those on offer in physical shops. Purchasing directly from the source in combination with direct sales via the internet and not having expensive shops explains the price difference. On top of that, BAUNAT manages its stock efficiently. You notice that in your wallet, too. For us, efficient stock management means we only start producing your jewellery when you have ordered and paid for it.
This means we don't have to have stock in house which, as you have just read, you actually also help pay for at physical shops holding large stock levels. All possible jewellery can be viewed online and when you have made your selection, your favourite piece of jewellery is immediately handcrafted for you. Efficient and specialist craftsmanship! And if you would prefer to see bracelets, rings or earrings in real life before buying online, then you can always make an appointment at a BAUNAT showroom, such as the one in Antwerp's diamond district.
The more intermediaries handling a diamond, the more you pay as the final consumer
Antwerp's diamond neighbourhood is the international centre for people who are looking for diamonds. This epicentre may only be 1 km2 in size, but a visit to Antwerp's diamond district is definitely worth your while.

Is it safe to buy diamonds online?

Various goldsmith's hallmarks

Honest and high-quality materials

When you browse the various collections, you will probably notice that you can choose between various gold alloys and platinum. Platinum is called a royal precious metal for good reason. When you buy diamond jewellery online, whether it is gold or platinum jewellery, you should check the hallmark. A hallmark is a quality label that provides guarantees about the amount and quality of the precious metals in the alloy. The hallmark is therefore protection for you against fraud and for traders against dishonest competition.
Let's just go back to the aforementioned certificate of authenticity for diamonds. They are not only important to confirm the quality of the precious stone but also to combat blood diamonds.
At BAUNAT, we work exclusively with clean diamonds, both literally as well as figuratively. You are thus always assured honest and high-quality precious stones
Even though according to international estimates, 1% of diamonds still come from illegal practices, you will not find any being sold by a recognised diamond seller. They work exclusively with diamonds certified by the Kimberley Process.
