If you are looking to purchase that dazzling diamond, now may be your time.

Diamond prices are being impacted by the volatile markets. A local jeweler with Vinca Jewelry tells us that people are cracking down on luxury gift giving and the demand is low. One reason is because of a major slowdown in the world's second biggest economy, China.

If you are looking to buy a diamond ring here's some advice from Vinca jewelry:

  • Get to know your jeweler so that you can trust him or her.
  • Don't be shy to haggle.
  • Shop around.
