THE QUALITY AND VALUE of Costco’s diamond
selections are unquestionable. Costco diamonds
come with appraisals—jewelry containing
a diamond of any size includes a Costco-generated appraisal, written by a graduate
gemologist; items containing a 1-carat diamond include an International Gemological
Institute (IGI) appraisal; those containing a
1.25-carat or larger diamond include a
Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
Diamond Grading Report in addition to the
IGI appraisal. The only thing left to do is
make your choice. Costco provides four ways
to unearth the gem you have in mind.
1. Go to your local warehouse and choose
from the selection of diamond jewelry in
display cases.
2. E-mail specialorderdiamond@costco.com
or call Costco’s Special Order Diamond
Program at 1-877-864-8695 to select from
our inventory.
3. Go to costco.com and choose from online
selections, or use the “Build a Unique Diamond
Solitaire” tool in the “Jewelry” menu.
4. In addition, the costco.com collection of
loose diamonds showcases a selection of
diamonds that possess amazing quality and
value. Your loose diamond arrives secured
in an elegant protective box, along with the
appraisal certificate and a jeweler’s loupe.
