(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 14, 2015 ) Nottingham, Nottinghamshire -- The traveller behind a one-year old blog Curious to Visit has recently published two blog posts outlining her experience and lessons learnt about diamond trade intricacies in diamond district in Antwerp, Belgium, while accompanying a friend on a ring-hunting trip.
Curious to Visit founder and blogger said: ‘It was a steep learning curve, I felt like I completed an intensive immersion course in diamond buying subtleties. To start with, I was an absolute beginner who had never purchased or owned a piece of diamond jewellery before, and was really surprised to discover that if you are looking for a quality gemstone, the process of buying it is not straightforward at all. My friend and I met all sorts of characters, and had to learn fast if we did not want to be taken for a ride. The most important lesson I took back from the whole experience, is that you absolutely must do your homework and understand at least basic terminology before your enter any jewellery shop, otherwise, you risk being in for some unpleasant surprises down the road.'
The blog posts are educational in essence and outline in detail the shopper's experience:
• The way dealers approach the selling process. • The pitfalls buyers might find themselves in. • Suggestions of how to avoid making beginner's mistakes. • Illustrated description of how rings are sold in one of Antwerp's shops. • Commentary on shopper's experience in UK jewellery shops following the trip to Belgium.
The blog posts would be of particular benefit to first-time buyers, and especially those, shopping for an engagement ring.
